Not long after, the squad pulled back in. As soon as Roy and Johnny got back to the station, they noticed the unnatural quiet. Cap met them at door to the day room and gave them their assigned chores for the shift. They noticed Cap's face was redder than normal, and he kept clearing his throat. Behind him, they heard someone start coughing and gulping for air.

"Cap, everything OK?" Roy asked.

"What makes you think anything is wrong?"

Roy and John just exchanged a look. They knew something was up and figured they'd find out what it was sooner or later.

Johnny headed for the dorms to start changing the sheets. As Roy went about his assigned tasks, he noticed that every time he entered the day room, the other four guys found some reason to be in close proximity. It was really starting to put Roy on edge, and he almost wished for a call so he could talk to Johnny about it.

Roy was really looking forward to a cup of coffee when he finished his chores, but the odd behavior of his shift mates was making him wonder if he should just wait until a run took them to Rampart. He shook his head at the thought. The guys wouldn't do anything malicious. If the Phantom was going to make an appearance, he would rather get it over with than have the bizarre stillness continue. Besides, if anyone should worry about the Phantom, it was Johnny. He'd grab a coffee and sit back and enjoy whatever prank was going to be sprung on his partner.

With the exception of Johnny, the other guys quickly joined Roy in a coffee break. Mike sprawled on the couch with the day's paper. Cap was doing his paperwork at the table, while Chet and Marco were playing a game of checkers. The silence continued.

"Anyone seen the department newsletter?" Roy finally asked. If it was going to be quiet, he might as well read that article that caught his attention last shift.

"It's on the bulletin board Pally."

As soon as Roy turned his back, everyone stopped pretending they were engrossed in their various activities and watched Roy scanning the board.

They knew the exact moment he saw the picture. Unfortunately for Roy, he had just taken a large swallow of coffee. The coffee spewed everywhere as he began to cough violently. As soon as he could get a full breath he screamed, "JOHNNY! Get in here – NOW!" He yanked the photo down while behind him he heard the gales of laughter.

"Roy, what's wrong?!" Johnny asked as he slid into the room.

The laughter just got louder. He could tell Roy was furious at him, but he didn't understand why or why the guys thought it was so amusing. He backed up until he hit the wall. "Uh, Roy? What's wrong? He asked nervously."

"What's wrong? WHAT'S WRONG?! This is what's WRONG!" Roy yelled as he shook the picture under Johnny's nose.

Johnny's eyes widened. It was picture from the first roller-coaster they went on. In it, Roy was hanging on to the harness, eyes shut, mouth wide open in a scream – a look of sheer terror on his face. Beside him was Chris with a huge grin on his face. Johnny and Jenny were behind him, also looking like they were having the time of their life.

"This? It's from the park."

"I know it's from the park! What I want to know is why I found it hanging on the bulletin board!"

"The bulletin board?What was it doing there? It was in the packet I gave you this morning."

"Well it sure as hell isn't in there now," yelled Roy.

Johnny was stunned. He never expected that the photo would upset Roy. Dumbfounded, all he could do was stare at Roy.

Seeing how flustered his paramedics were, Cap swallowed his laughter. The rest of the crew quickly realized that the joke had backfired.

"Roy? You OK Pally?" Cap asked.

Roy just stood there, too embarrassed to turn around and face his still snickering friends. Finally, he crumbled up the picture up and tossed it into the garbage. Without a word, he left the room.

An awkward silence filled the room. No one was accustomed to seeing their calm and controlled paramedic upset – especially when his partner was still in one piece.

Gage was the first one to shake off the shock everyone was feeling. Slowly, he stalked over to a certain stunned lineman.

"CHET! Did you open the package I gave to Roy?"

Chet jumped up so quickly he knocked his chair over.

"Now Gage, I was just straightening up in here and happened to drop it. I just wanted to make sure I didn't break anything…" He trailed off as Johnny lunged around the table after him. The chase was on.

Cap slowly picked up the packet meant for Roy. "I think this had better stay in my office for now. Go and make sure those two don't damage each other." He too exited the room.

Marco and Mike didn't have to look too hard. It was easy to follow the sound of the squabbling. The Phantom was definitely in trouble.

"Come on Johnny it was a joke! How was the Phantom supposed to know Roy would be so sensitiveover a picture?"

"Well maybe the Phantom should learn to keep his hands off of other peoples stuff! " Johnny yelled as he lunged over the bed trying to get his hands on Chet. Mike got a hold on Johnny and Marco quickly grabbed Chet and steered him out of the dorm.

"Lemme go, Mike! It's time the Phantom learned a lesson. "

"Not till you calm down and listen to me." Mike said quietly.

Johnny grumbled some more, but then made a visible effort to get himself under control. Seeing this Mike, relaxed his grip on Johnny.

Johnny spun away abruptly and sank onto the bed. He put his face in his hands and let out a deep sigh."Mike what am I going to do? I can't remember the last time I saw Roy this angry."

"You weren't the one who put a copy on the bulletin board, and you weren't the one who didn't stop it either." Mike replied.

"Man, I wish Roy would … COPY?! Are there are more of those photos out there? " Johnny leaped up from the bed with a stricken look on his face. "Where are they, I gotta get 'em before Roy thinks I …, I don't even wanna know what'll he do if he sees…How many did Chet make? What'd he do with them. I'm going to really get him for this stunt. It was supposed to be a surprise for Roy! Something he could remember the day by, and how much fun it was! Now what'd he do with them?"

"Settle down Johnny. Cap took the packet into his office – no one will get their hands on it again. I suspect he's also confiscated all the copies. Now why don't you go find your partner?"

Johnny's shoulder's slumped and with a sigh he went looking for Roy.
