Boden and Herrmann were both silent in the car. Christopher still wanted to talk to his friend abouthim wanting to look for another job in the office, because he thought it would be safer. But he was just concerned because he knew that his friend loved his job.

''Wallace, I don't think you should give up your job.'' Cindy suddenly broke the silence.

A moment Boden was just surprised because of what Cindy had said. He was so surprised that he had no idea what to say.

''What?'' He finally spoke.

''You shouldn't give up your job. It is a dangerous job, yes, but nobody is as passionate about being chief as you are and Donna and Terrance are so proud of you. If stopping is really what you want, you should do it, but I am pretty sure it is not what you want.''

Boden was still silent, letting Cindy's words sink in. He knew she was right, but he also had no idea what to say.

''Maybe you are right, I am just - not sure.'' Never had Christopher seen the chief so lost since Terrance was born.

''Take your time, but take the right decision. We need you as our chief, because you are the most passionate and best chief in the whole CFD, so please think about the job you love so much.'' Christopher said then as Cindy parked in front of his house and finally Boden nodded.

''Thank you so much, you both.'' He said then before getting out of the car. Rubbing over his side that was still sore, he walked inside, Donna walking towards him immediately, kissing him.

''Hey, how was it?''

''It was good, but Matt looked really sick. I hope he is going to get better soon.'' Boden said softly as he walked to the kitchen with her, Terrance making a mess from his high chair. He was smearing the red sauce from the pasta all around him and Wallace smirked for a second, looking at the little boy and shook his head then, thinking about what Cindy had said.

''Donna, would you mind if I keep doing the job?'' He asked then, knew she didn't mind, but he didn't want her to feel like he was failing his family, if he was going back to his job that seemed dangerous now.

''No, I kept saying that you have to keep your job, because it is what makes you happy and what makes you happy, makes me happy!'' Donna smiled then, wrapping her arms around his neck and kissing him.

''It's going to be okay, right?''

''I always told you that. It is bad what happened but it is not going to happen again and 51 needs you.'' Donna said.

''I know, I was just - I think I just needed someone to tell me it was okay.''

''It's okay.'' Donna said, holding him. Just happy that he had made up his mind and that he was going to keep doing his passion. She caressed him over his back, still careful as his side was sore, but so happy he was going to be okay, and hopefully everything would return to normal. Like before the shooting.

Pacing through the room Matt had been staying, Kelly called Gabby over and over again.

She didn'tpick up the phone, even as much as he tried but he didn't want Gabby not to be here, in case something happened.

Suddenly he noticed the light coming from the nightstand. Walking to there, he saw that there were two phones, one with the screen lit up. He saw his caller ID on the screen and realized it was Gabby's phone he was looking at, with Matt's cracked phone beside it.

''No, no, come on Gabby.'' He hissed then, looking through his phone for another way to reach Gabby.

Finally he saw Antonio's number, calling it, hoping he could help finding his sister.

Otis grabbed the bars beside him, careful putting some pressure on his leg again. The stitches were out now and he slowly had to start walking now, to get back on his feet. Even though the bullet hadn't done much damage, the muscle was sore and he had to go through physical therapy.

As he was done he met Cruz on the hallway to drive home.

''Looks like you are closer to getting back to work.'' Cruz tried to cheer him up as they made their way to the car.

''I hope so.'' Otis said then, hoping that was true. Sitting at home only seemed to make him more melancholic.

Near the entrance they almost bumped into Dawson. She was walking fast, looking upset.

''Gabby, what is wrong?'' Cruz asked concerned, grabbing her arm for a bit.

''I don't know, I don't know.'' She mumbled before pulling her arm away and walking on and Cruz and Otis looked concerned. If Gabby was running into the hospital, not sure what was going on, this couldn't be good.

Kelly looked as footsteps came towards Matt's room.

Gabby came running inside, almost dropping her bag.

''I had to come to Diego's school, they had a science fair, thank you for calling Antonio'' She said as she sat down.

''Hopefully It shouldn't be long.'' Kelly said upset, not sure what else to say.

''What is wrong with him, do you know?'' Her voice cracked.

''The patch on his heart, it got damaged by the shocking of his heart and started bleeding again internally, they are trying to fix it.'' Kelly mumbled, bowing his head.

''That is why he looked so bad in the morning, because he was bleeding out.'' Gabby said softly.

Still waiting to get news on Matt, Gabby walked to the vending machine at the end of the hall. She wasn't even really hungry but she hoped for distraction.

Tomorrow morning she was going to be needed on shift again and she was so worried now that if she had to leave Matt here, not sure how he was going to be doing.

It took forever already.

Slowly she tried to get one of the bottles of water out of the vending machine but it was stuck. Angry she hit her hand against it, the bottle still stuck and she hit it, harder this time .

Kelly came walking her way as he saw her hitting against the vending machines, so angry she had tears in her eyes.

Slowly he took her shoulders and guided her away, back inside the room Matt had been staying, where she finally broke down. He wrapped her small frame Inside his arms, letting her evacute days of emotions.

''He is going to be okay, he is going to fight through it again. I am sure.'' Kelly promised her then, trying to console Gabby, but no idea how to do it when he wasn't even sure himself.

Gabby was shaking, scared and angry and a few tears rolled down her cheeks then and she sniffed, trying to dry stop her tears from falling.

Kelly placed his hands on her cheeks as she sniffled.

''Hey it's okay to cry.'' He said then.

''I don't want to cry.'' She pressed her thumbs to her cheeks to make them disappear, Kelly never letting go of her face.

''You have been so strong for Matt since the shooting, sometimes it is better to let your feelings out.'' He said softly.

''Yeah, because you are so great at that!'' She told him, pushing his hands away and hit him in the chest and he was silent because he knew she was right.

They just sat there, waiting for news, both of them lost.

Suddenly two more people walked in, Cruz helping Otis sit down in the chair nearby.

''How are you?''' Cruz asked Gabby concerned.

''Just have to wait now...and you guys don't have to wait here-''

''Hey, we are all in this together.'' Otis said, knew it was true that even though he was feeling so down, he wasn't alone. Gabby gave him a small, grateful smile and he knew that being here wasn't going to help Matt, but if it made Gabby feel better that people were here with her to give her support, that was all she needed right now to get through this all.
