SO= salon owner SN= salon neighbor AH= Alexa Hubble RF= random firefighter

S= I remember you talking about it you spent a lot of time there right
K= some probably gonna sell that too
( kelly leaves the room and brett sits down at the table)
S= that's got to be messing with his head anything related to benny does let alone going though his belongs
SB= I don't have to get rid of the flowers because of mouch right
S= hell no
EF= no way

general pov: the bells go off for the whole fire house to respond to a salon fire where there was only person that was injured and after that they overhaul it and went back to the firehouse.

Kelly's pov: we just got back from a call that was at a salon fire and I went to straight to my office or start doing my paperwork for the call about ten minutes later Matt came by my office and told me that the cheif need us both in his office so we walked to his office and I saw Alexa Hubble there I wondered why

MC= you wanted to see us cheif
CB= yes Captain Hubble your statements on the salon fire
K= yeah sure thing
MC= The ashes are still warm what's got ofi moving so quickly on this
AH= well we found plenty of indication on the scene to call this one an arson
K= damn that's too bad the salon owner was a sweet lady she was pretty devastated by what happened I feel for
AH= I wont it looks like she's the one who did it
K= I'm not buying it
AH= hair products were dumped all over the back office. File cabinets left open so the documents inside Would burn
K= I'm not saying this isn't arson she didn't set the fire no way
CB= how do you now
K= you should've seen her reaction at the scene she was crushed the victim is a friend of her's
AH= well she may not have intended for anyone to get hurt we see this all the time with scammers. They underestimate how much damage or injury a fire can cause
MC= you think this was an insurance situation
AH= several neighbors said the salon was underwater and was very upset about the possibility of losing her business
K= her dog was inside not a chance she left her dog in there to die
AH= we didn't find any dog
K= OK well maybe he got out somehow
AH= or maybe it was never there
K= i've seen a lot of people watch their homes or their businesses burn she isn't faking it that much I can tell you
CB= have you questioned the owner
AH= she's at Chicago med visiting with the victim I'm heading over there to talk to her
K= i'm coming with
CB= your on shift
K= Chicago med I'll be back in an hour
AH= OK who are you trying to help me or her
K= I can aid investigation Captain I connected with her she'll open up more if I am there with you
AH= he has a point
CB= One hour

( they leave the office and head toward med)

Once I started to hear Hubble said it was arson and she wanted to blame The salon owner which I knew she wouldn't do it I decided I need to stick my nose in this to prove Hubble wrong. So we drove toward med and went up to where she was visiting her friend we waited until she said goodbye to her friend before we interrupted her and started asking questions

AH= ms. Curtis i'm Captain Alexa Hubble with the office of fire investigation I believe you've already met Lieutenant severide
SO= yes thank you so much for what you did for Miriam and for me
K= how is she doing
SO= I guess it's a pretty serious spinal injury that the doctors need to get in there and see what they can do I'm just praying for her
AH= it's nice of you to look after her like this
SO= she doesn't have anyone else her husband died last year... was there any sign of miles in the salon.. my dog
AH= no
SO= well that's a good thing right maybe he got out

( Alexa pulls out a recorder out of her pocket and hold it up to show it to the salon owner)

AH= I need to ask you a few questions about the fire is that Okay
SO= yeah sure
AH= where were you when the fire started
SO= I don't know when the fire started I came in early to take Miles for his walk my salon was inflamed when I checked my security cameras Miles was in there he was sleeping by the door I was trying to find out how fire started but ( she pulls out her phone and shows the footage to Alexa and Kelly) see the camera stopped working... I guess because of the fire I don't know
K= it had cut out at least a half an hour before the fire started
AH= how often do your cameras shut down like this
SO= they're just wi-Fi cameras you know how that stuff goes in and out
AH= it's a little strange though isn't it the timing
SO= you think I burned down my salon
AH= it's too soon to make a determination but we are looking for the truth
SO= well here's the truth I love that salon it wasn't ever going to make me rich but it was my dream my own place where my clients could come and hang out and feel like they were at home with family Miriam is Family I would never put her in danger like that
K= niya no one's accusing you of anything
SO= she is
K= we're just looking for answers and this is helpful what you're telling us you're not going to get railroaded I promise you
SO= you have to find whoever did this
K= we're gonna try like hell that's a guaranteed can you...can we get a copy of that whole video
SO= of course yes I... I can send you the link.
Once we got the video sent to us we left

Stella's pov: ever since I overheard Kelly saying that he cleaned out fathers place because they finally sold his place I started to worried about him I know anything involving his father always messes with his head so hopefully he can work on that on his own if not I think I'll be here for him if he needs me right now me and Emily are at Molly's taking it up

S= Kelly must still be at the arson scene he is really throwing himself into this investigation
EF= it's all he talked about on shift
S= because it's the perfect distraction so that he doesn't have to go through Benny's stuff
EF= yeah
S= honestly I'm worried about him do you think it would be dumb if I were to reach out and let him know that I'm here to talk just as a friend
EF= you know I'll support you no matter what but every time you have tried that friend route with severide it has gone south
S= well maybe third times a charm
O= so much for " leave no Man behind"
EF= caper didn't go so well
S= I don't want to talk about it

Kelly's pov: after shift Hubble Invited me and the cheif to the salon again to see if we could find any more evidence in the fire. So right now we are looking around at things

CB= there was another one you were right
( pointed to something)
K= these cameras are still connected
AH= Niya disable it from her Phone probably take a subpoena to find out
K= I don't know why you have it in for her
AH= i'm just going off of the evidence why are you taking her face value
K= because I trust my gut
SN= Who do I Sue
AH= hey! You can't be in here this is an active investigation
SN= that's OK I just want to know who to sue the power company or the landlord
K= what are you talking about
SN= I live upstairs got smoke damage everywhere I mean I know this wasn't electrical fire I just don't know if whose fault it is
K= what makes you think it was an electrical fire
SN= well there was that Outage before the fire
CB= so your power went out
SN= yeah for maybe like five minutes
K= how long before the fire
SN= I don't know maybe 20 to 30 minutes
K= OK well we're not sure who you should sue just yet but will let you now
SN= awesome thanks
K= that explains the cameras going out
CB= yeah but who killed the power
( they walked around the side of the building where the Electric panel is)
K= The case is intact so unless somebody had a tag tool
AH= well that narrows the suspect pool down to pretty much everyone at comED
K= hang on... rust
CB= fresh cut on the Locking tab
K= someone stealthed their way into the meter do you turn the power off the cameras go down they get inside they do what they need to
CB= And they turn the power back on
K= and no one's the wiser
AH= do you guys smell that
( Alexa walks away and Kelly starts to think he seen something like this before)
K= does this look familiar to you
CB= I don't know why should It
AH= oh god

Once Alexa said that we both walk over to were she us is and see the salon owner dogs died and then Alexa calls the police and have them send out the crime lab and once they show up Alexa said she will send us copy's in the morning. So the next morning I get my copies and go to Matt and fill him in on what's has happened

K= arsonist cuts the power kills the dog, cameras, alarms everything goes offline
MC= The food to go inside douse the place with accelerant
K= and set a timing device that's the key
MC= they found one
K= no but it was probably destroyed in the fire. Is the guy can set everything up and turn the power back on put the locking tab back in place it makes it looks like an inside job
MC= in the arsonist is in the wind
K= exactly... we've seen this before right
MC= what do you mean same M.O
K= yeah not the dog necessarily but the electrical meter
MC= refresh my memory
K= I don't know it just feels familiar somehow
MC= well whoever this guy is he's a nasty piece of work
K= we still keep the old arson files in the blue office
MC= yeah lumped in with all the non-arson cases it'll take a while to go through
K= I got time

I leave Matt's office and go grab all the arson files and bring them into the briefing room so I have more space to look though them for the rest of the day as I am looking them I hear foot steps

S= what is all this
K= every Arson 51 has ever responded to something about the salon fire i've seen it before
S= isn't ofi looking into it
K= yeah but you know two heads better than one
S= hmmm
K= what
S= nothing you just you said you were going to head up to Benny's cabin after shift
K= cabin is not going anywhere
S= well in all that stuff in your car
K= what about it
S= I don't know maybe going through it getting up to the cabin might be cathartic somehow
K= i'll get there but I want to figure this out first
S= Okay I'm around you know if you need any help sorting out the cabin or whatever
K= okay thanks
S= mm-hmm
( she left the room)

Couple hours later I'm still looking through the cases at the firehouse when someone comes looking for me

RF= hey severide somebody to see you
K= hey niya ...i'm really sorry about your dog
SO= I didn't start the fire
K= I I know we're way past that Theory
SO= You have to find out whoever did this
K= we're going to do everything we can I promise
SO= no you have to find him the surgeon couldn't help her Miriam show never walk again

The next day I went to ofi to see what they found and maybe see if they seen this case before like how I think I have

K= Hubble
AH= Lieutenant
K= something about this case was nagging at me like I've seen it before but I've gone back over every arson case at 51 over the last 10 years and I can't find it I was hoping I could go to your system maybe ...( he see something) what's that
AH= oh uh The time in the boys we actually overlooked it at first thinking it was just something The salon use for color treatment. Then we notice that insulated wire taped to the side and the charred remains of a matchstick preserved under tape on the pointer. So start the timer in the matchstick rotates and then hits the wire and...
K= son of a bitch
AH= what what's wrong
K= nothing I just... I need to check something

Once I see more of the evidence that Hubble finds I realize where I seen this arson case before so One out of her office and get in my car and drive straight to my dads cabin once I get there I look for all his old files that he has and try to find the one I'm looking for once I find them I drive to Boden's house to let him know what I found.

K= I know who towards the hair salon someone my dad was hunting for 15 years

Authors note: sorry it took me a while to posted a new chapter but thats because I was moving and didn't have time to get a new chapter out. ok so do you guys think Emily should not worry about if Stella wants to reach out to kelly or do you think she is being a good friend. also this episode shows how much Stella just know kelly so much. please leave your feed back
