SB= Hi S= hey is the floater as bad as you thought SB= worst he's obsessed with manga witch I have no idea what that even is but he's informed me that rengoku's death in demon slayer Mugen train had to happen for the plot of the demon slayer " series to work and he's pretty worked up about it S= oh god SB= yeah I'm not leaving the locker room until the bells go off ...have you heard from Violet S= just a thank you text for my message after the funeral brief you SB= same the funeral was heartbreaking that speech Evan big brother have almost killed me I wish there was as more we could do for her S= I know I did have a thought about a couple things we could send to her place maybe to cheer her up a little SB= yeah I like the sound of that
Before they could finish talking, the bills go off for ambulance to go to a call about a little boy trapped underneath a whole lot of sand. Bowden in squad three gets a little boy out just in time. , when Brett gets back, she lets everyone know what has been happening with Violet and how the higher ups are letting her take as long as she wants off of work, which then spark something in Kelly to maybe go talk to her, then, Stella and Sylvie figure out some things to send a violet to cheer up, which one of the things was some wine and some more alcohol later on in the shift Stella has a job for Carver
S= Carver got a little job for you SC= great S= it's time to repaint the compartment interiors SC= okay S= you still got 12 hours till the end of shift SC= 12 hours to tackle what 20 compartment that I have to empty out paint repack S= well you scrub first then paint SC= in Gallo can't pitch in because S= because Carver it's your turn S= Lieutenant, am I being punished for something?
S= no but once you're finished, she will know how the truck is organized forward and backwards SC= great
Now it's the end of shift in the morning in first shift is starting to come in
FJ= hey look at that second shift repainting the compartments SC= one side anyways I'll have to hit the other side next shit unless you guys want to take care of it FJ= I' say no thanks SC= can't say I blame him BG= how's it all going?
SC= just fine BG= if you need a hand next shift SC= thanks but Lieutenant was pretty clear. She doesn't want you helping What is her deal?
BG= what do you mean SC= I just got this feeling she is riding my ass for no reason and I'm wondering if it's the kind of thing she does a lot of power play you know BG= if she's making you do something there's a reason SC= what's the story with her and Severeide they've been together a long time BG= yeah why SC= just curious BG= Kidd's as good as a lieutenant as you'll find anywhere see you next shift cover
Play quacks away from Carver. After that weird conversation he had Kelly then decides that he should check on violet himself and give her some advice. ( at violets place)
K= can I come in? V= I'm really bad company right now but( kelly comes in) let me guess Stella is stuck working at Molly said she sent you to bring me a beer and try to cheer me up K= ( laughs) no this is my idea I wanted to tell you about a girlfriend I had before your time at 51 Anna V= yes, Stella has told me about her I mean I don't know much, but I know she died K= the two toughest things I've ever been through. We're losing Shay and losing her and for the longest time after Anna died I felt like a boat cut loose from the dock just lost nothing to hold onto. V= yeah, thats yeah, that's pretty much exactly it K= I don't like to think about how Low a bottom I might've hit if I hadn't gone back to work that's just my take haven't been where you are V= I appreciate it really I do but the difference is I'm scared if I go back to work I'll see Evan everywhere. It was his work too K= you can't avoid it that way I'm sorry to say I saw Ana wherever I went to for the longest time but what I saw even clear right in front of me was my crew at 51 always bugging me checking on me and I wanted to kill them half the time, but I knew that if I started to drift, they would hold on tight
They keep talking for a little bit, but then Kelly leaves violet alone later on that night Stella is working at Molly's when the phone rings
H= yeah Mollys ... oh hey Trudy ... yeah mouch is right in front of me ... Oh yeah OK yeah sure hang on. ( see mouch ) she doesn't want to talk to you M= it was bound to happen sooner or later H= Kidd it's Trudy for you S= hey lady what's going on?
Stella talk to Trudy for a minute, then hast to leave Mollys's
P= he was picked up in West town on a drunk and disorderly with a case to be made for assault except nobody is willing to press charges and here we are he's one of yours SC= evening, Lieutenant S= yeah, he belongs to me ( outside) if you barf in my car, I'm dumping you on the elsehower SC= you don't have to worry about me. I sobered up real quick when I saw your scowing Face S= do not get cute if you think that you can go Carousing getting in trouble and then dropping my name when the cops show up you better think twice SC= I didn't drop your name or I didn't mean to. I just made a clock about how Lieutenant kid was going to bury me. If I didn't show up for shift I didn't know the death Sergeant had you on speed dial S= don't you have anyone else at all that you could've called to come in value out any friends at all SC= I got friends S= do you or are you just some kind of train wreck SC= listen Lieutenant, for all 24 hours of every shift you on my ass when I punch out that's my time what I do who I am that's my business all you need to worry about is who shows up when I punch back in and that's the best fire fighter you ever saw S= sure get in the car
Stella takes Carver home and head back to Molly to finish her shift then head home the next day of shift Stella shows up to work
S= morning Lieutenant came in a little early to get started on the driver side should be able to finish it all the shift S= how's the lip?
SC= it's nothing totally fine S= you know your accidentally comes out when you're drunk what is the Texas?
SC= listen, Lieutenant you don't need to mention anything to boden about my little misadventure do you it doesn't seem like the kind of thing he needs to be bothered with S= how about you worry about these compartment she let me worry about how to do my job
Stella leaves cover with that in the locker room Kelly is putting away his stuff when all the sudden he catches something out of the corner of a eye
K= morning V= yeah morning
Kelly was glad that file it came into work today she took his advice, and she was happy to see that everyone is gathering on her when she comes to work. A couple hours later Stella goes and talks to Kelly to discuss what happen with Carver earlier
S= so then he has the nerve to tell me that I shouldn't mention anything to Boden about his little misadventure K= he told you or asked you S= I mean it may have been faced as a question, but the implication was don't want me out like I'm supposed to help cover, cover up his conduct unbecoming K= so did you report it to Boden S= I wasn't planning on it until Carver opened up his mouth now I'm thinking maybe I should loop Boden in K= well now it's your chance here he is hey chief CB= sevride kidd is everything OK S= yes fine CB= I saw Carver out there getting up close and personal with the truck. How he working out?
S= so far so good yeah CB= all right then S= ( Kelly starts to say anything) don't start
They go along with third day toward the end of shift, so it goes out and checks in Carver to see how he's doing
S= it's the end of shift. Isn't there a bar fight waiting for you somewhere?
SC= just staying till this paint is dry then I'll go raise hell S= it's not bad work craver SC= thanks, Lieutenant S= yeah SC= and thanks for not reporting me to boden S= yet SC= yet S= I don't need Boden to put you on notice I already did that myself but if I get another call from PD or so much as catch, a whiff of misshift coming off of you I'll make him aware of it SC= what that guy you found in the cooler the other night you don't have to worry about him. This is the guy who's gonna show up at the firehouse shift after shift the best fire fighter.
S= the best fire fighter that I've ever saw it you said that already SC= I did win S= look just stay out of trouble craver ( walks away) hey chief, see you at are mollys event later CB= actually no get my apologies to Herman would you S= sure thing
And Kelly's office he is doing paperwork
K= hey V= you have a minute K= yeah, I have a whole bunch of them come on in V= how do you live with that hole in your heart feeling that every part of you is empty?
K= yeah I'm no expert in grief that's for sure but my feelings is all you can do is think of them talk about them as much as you can so in some way it's like they are still here
Stella goes to get Kelly to go home but she sees that Kelly is talking to Violet and she's very happy with that later on at Molly's
S= I'm kind of surprised Carver isn't here K= you're sure he knew it was happening S= he was right there when Herman invited everyone ( kiss him) K= where did that come from S= find me, knowing what a difference you made to Violet getting her back to work K= it wasn't just me it was everyone S= I knew you would say that one of the many reasons you are my perfect man ( kiss )
They just enjoy their time out at Molly's and celebrate the new improvements Herman did and head home
