Jeremy
I was in the middle of my shift at 42.
Sirens were wailing outside.
"Station 19?"
"What the hell are they doing here from Seattle?"
"Too much Tequila." It was Ruiz.
One of their girls laughed.
"See anybody you recognize?"
"I told you. Last night is foggy."
"Too much Tequila does that."
"Just take another look."
"The tall guy in the back, maybe."
"I got another idea."
A brown haired guy approached the Captain.
"Lieutenant Jack Gibson. Station 19."
"I've heard a lot about 19. Great calls, great team, and great Captains."
"And one of your men "injured" one of mine."
"Oh. I'm sorry to hear that."
"Are you gonna help me find the man I need or not?"
"Of course."
"Good decision."
"Do you know his first name? Last name?"
"Jeremy."
"Jeremy Benanti?"
"I guess so."
"It says here that he was in Seattle with friends last night."
"Yeah. He was picking a fight with one of my guys."
"Well, Jeremy is over there."
"The tall guy in the back?"
"Yeah."
"Ha ha. I was right."
"Thank you."
He approached me.
"You injured one of my mine last night."
"I didn't touch her."
"I didn't say it was a female of ours."
Gibson chuckled.
"There's Bishop, who was Captain. And now there's Captain Herrera's daughter back at 19, Andy Herrera."
"So, she is back at 19 like she wanted?"
"Yes. And even if she wasn't, she's the heart and soul of Station 19. We're not complete without her. And now you harmed one of my Sisters."
A black guy entered.
"And his ex-Wife. You have no idea how overprotective he is of her still."
"You divorced Herrera?"
"Proves how much you were listening last night!"
"Herrera divorced me. I didn't divorce her."
"The heart breaker, not the heart breakee."
Herrera climbed out the window.
"Hey! I told you you were staying on the Engine, Herrera!"
"Listen, Sweetheart. I've been climbing out of Engine 19's windows for a really long time. Longer than you."
She dropped down onto the ground.
"You're Andy Herrera?" Captain Burke questioned.
"I'm guessing you were expecting a guy?"
"Yeah."
"I'm Andrea Herrera. People call me "Andy."
"Andrea is a very pretty name."
"You don't get to call me it. Not after what you did. I should kick your ass."
"Whoa. Whoa. You're still hungover. From all that damn Tequila you drank."
"She threw up all that Tequila. Imagine having to hold all her hair back."
"Do you understand how much a Herrera's word carries?"
"Do you know how drunk she was?"
"It don't matter. She remembers everything. She points her finger, you go away for 10 years. Her father was friends with a lot of Judges. And the crime occurred in Seattle, not Oregon."
"I slept with her. It was consensual."
"The bruises she left on you says else."
"Jeremy Benanti, you are under arrest for the rape of Andrea Herrera."
A SPD Cop arrested me.
"You tricked me."
"Good." Gibson retorted.
"So long, sucker."
