Lieutenant Johnson walked out of his office and looked at the Squad.
"We got a summer camp group coming by today." He said
"Where's Carlos he just loves 'evil little midgets with sticky fingers' don't ya bro?" Walsh asks as everyone else laughs
"Call 9-1-1!" Taylor called out
"Not funny!" Carlos grinned
"Where was a camera when we needed it?" Jimmy asked
"Come on guys I don't make fun of you!" Carlos said
"Because we don't do anything stupid like fall down the fire pole." DK adds
"Give him a break guys." Doc said
"Oh come on Doc, even you said that he was SPECIAL." Taylor cracked
"Even Davis knew about it before I left the hospital." Carlos complained
"Of course, EVERYONE had to know!" Taylor said
"You told Davis!" Carlos said
"Well yeah, we kind of enjoyed the apartment to ourselves." Taylor admitted
"Alright, that's more than I needed to know." Carlos said
"We did it on every surface!" Taylor continued to tease
"Okay, okay I don't need to hear that." Carlos cried out as everyone laughed
"Alright, so Taylor I think you get to be in charge of the kids today." Lt. Johnson laughed
"What did I do to deserve that?" Taylor asked as she pouted
"Well… you're the one with the delicate touch little lady." Walsh teased
"Oh I really think I need someone to assist me." Taylor said
"Done!" Lt. Johnson said, "Walsh, you get to assist."
"Come on Lieu!" Walsh protested
"Who's got the delicate touch now?" Taylor taunted
"I'll get you." Walsh said
"Consider the fact that you already have experience in that line of work." Taylor laughed, "How was working with a puppet?"
"Hey now!" Walsh tried to defend himself
Everyone was laughing about it as Walsh frowned.
"I thought it was nice." Lt. Johnson smiled
"I do one part of a Fire Safety Video with Elmo…" Walsh tries
"Stop before you hurt yourself Billy." Jimmy cracks
"The kids will be here in about 15 minutes so you might want to get ready." Lt. Johnson laughs
Taylor and Walsh walk down to the bay and Walsh pulled the squad out onto the street.
"So was that true about EVERY surface?" Walsh asked
Taylor grinned, "What do you think?"
"Oooo…" Walsh smiled as he pulled her towards him
"Easy now, remember we are trying to keep this a secret." Taylor reminded him
"Why is it that all of your romances are secret?" Walsh asked
"Because it makes them better." Taylor said
"I'm not complaining." Walsh grinned as he gave her a quick kiss
"Now William." She scolded
"I'm sorry." He frowned, "It won't happen again."
"You're pathetic you know that?" she asked
"Yeah, but you still love me anyway." He laughed
"Yep, I do. Not sure why but I do." She laughed
"Don't look now but we got visitors." Walsh pointed out as a throng of children came down the street.
"Looks like we're on." Taylor smiled as they stood up from sitting on the front of the squad.
The kids gathered around them as they stood there and looked around. Tommy Doyle had come down to help them as well.
"Figured I'd have some fun with the kids too." Tommy laughed as Taylor prepared to greet the kids.
"Hi there." Taylor said
The kids all said hello.
"I'm Firefighter Alex and this is Firefighter Bill and Firefighter Tommy." Taylor introduced
"Whoa!" one little boy cried out, "That's Firefighter Bill from Elmo Visits the Firehouse!"
Taylor laughed as Walsh's face turned bright red.
"That's right. And Firefighter Bill is going to show you our firehouse." Taylor laughed
Walsh shot her a pathetic look and then smiled.
"Alright, so who wants to see a fire truck?" He asked
All the kids squealed with excitement as Walsh walked them over to the truck and began explaining things to them.
Taylor brought her bunker gear out and sat it on the ground for the kids to see. She started to explain about why firefighters wear it in a fire. She also told them why they shouldn't be scared of firefighters.
One child in the group raised his hand.
"Did you have a question?" Taylor asked
"Can we sit in the fire truck?" The little boy asked, they would later find out that his name was Sam.
"Sure." Taylor replied
The little boy's mom took pictures as the kids did various things like sitting in the fire truck. After the group got finished exploring the fire truck they thanked Taylor and Walsh for their time.
The alarm inside the firehouse sounded.
"Squad 55, Adam 55-3 respond for a person stuck in a drainpipe 109 Riverside PD on scene."
"Okay kids, stand back here and you can watch us leave okay?" Taylor asked as she quickly slipped into her bunker pants and gear.
Soon the rest of the squad was in the truck and off they went. It took a few minutes before they pulled up behind 55 David.
Bosco met them at the side of the road.
"What do ya got Bosco?" Lt. Johnson asked
"Genius decided to run from us, fell and got stuck in the pipe." Bosco said
The guys rolled their eyes as they walked over to find a man sticking out from the pipe.
"That's a problem alright." Walsh said as he studied the pipe
"Jimmy get the saw, looks like we're gonna have to cut him out." Lt. Johnson said
"You're not gonna cut me are you?" The perp yelled
"After what you did, I think that would be the least of your worries." Faith cracked
"What'd he do?" Taylor asked
"Tried to abduct a little kid." Bosco said
"Oh. Jimmy, don't miss." Taylor grinned
Jimmy did a little cutting and Taylor and Tommy pulled the guy loose. Bosco moved in to cuff him.
"Ouch!" The guy screamed out.
"Let us take a look at him." Doc said
"Alright Jag off." Bosco let him fall back to the ground
"Bosco!" Faith yelled at him
"What? He fell." Bosco said
"I see that." Faith responded.
"Looks like he might have a fractured arm. He needs to go to the hospital." Doc said
"Great, more paperwork." Bosco frowned
"Alright, let's go." Faith said
Soon the medic unit was heading for the hospital and the Squad returned to the house. Walsh backed it into the bay and they all went upstairs.
"Wow! I miss all the good stuff anymore." Tommy said
"Well, you're the one who switched shifts." DK laughed
"Yeah." Tommy said, "But it works out better with my family this way."
"Family is first, we all know that." Jimmy said as he got a bottle of water out
"But you're welcome to join us on this shift anytime brother." Walsh replied
Taylor smiled, "Unless you can't handle it." She grinned
"Can't handle what?" Tommy asked
"Getting your ass kicked by a girl." Taylor grinned
The guys all nodded, Taylor could out work any of them and they weren't afraid to admit it.
"Taylor here could work circles around you." DK said
"I believe it. If she's anything like her old man… I believe it." Tommy grinned
"I think she's better than her father." Walsh smiled and looked at her.
Walsh admired Taylor a lot. Not just because she was Angus Taylor's daughter, but because she wasn't afraid of her job. She didn't back down and run when most others would. He thought to himself, "I'm gonna marry her someday."
