DISCLAIMER

Here it is! The last chapter! And Lexical, the reason you had to wait a week for one week was because I had a Geology Mid Term this week. And by this time, Jamie has been released into Alex's custody. I'd normally add a chapter where this happened, but I was too lazy.

Two weeks later, Jamie parked his motorcycle in the parking lot of the EMT building. He blew out a breath, and then dismounted. For the first time in Jamie didn't know how long, his body wasn't protesting in agony as he moved. He was still getting used to that feeling. And Alex was pretty cool. Sorta strict, but cool. But Jamie was willing to follow Alex's rules as long as the man was patient with him. Inside the station, Val, Hank, Brooke, and Tyler were playing cards.

"Hey, where's Alex?" Hank wondered.

"Office," Brooke answered. "Anyone have any threes?"

"Go fish," three voices chorused. Brook grumbled and took a card. Just then, they heard footsteps.

"Hey, Jamie," Hank greeted, barely looking up.

"Can I play next game?" Jamie wondered.

"Su---" Tyler began to answer. However, he was interrupted by a wail.

"Looks like it's gonna have to wait," Val said. With that, they all rushed out of the building and into an ambulance. Jamie was the last to board the vehicle and decided to hang on the outside.

"Where we headed?" Tyler asked into a intercom.

"4384 Lane. Mother reported a kid with a high fever and vomiting," someone answered.

"Got it," Tyler replied. With that, he quickened their pace. Even though he was concerned, Jamie couldn't help the smile that came across his face. He loved going out on calls. It was freedom.
