Hey guys. I really have no excuse for not updating. I was having trouble coming up with the next storyline so I decided to roughly base it off of the storyline with Katie and Vince Keeler. Sorry about the wait again. R&R! Thanks!
"Would you stop worrying already Kelly? She's fine. KJ's a big girl," Shay said, trying to get her best friend to stop pacing the room.
"I know. I know. But I swear to God if he even looks at her in the wrong way I will..."
"...pummel him to death," everyone else said in unison.
"Yeah, we get it," explained Dawson. "It's just a dance Kelly. And Jake's a good kid."
Just then the alarm sounded, signaling for assistance of all three units.

"Alright," Chief Boden said in an authoritative voice. "We need cots set up, along with all the blankets and pillows we can find. We also need to cook something for all of these hungry people. The whole grid is experiencing this blackout and there will be many more people to walk through those doors. Alright, let's get to work."
Just then, KJ and Jake walked through the doors, still in their prom attire.
"Hey, what are you guys doing here?" asked Casey. "Aren't you supposed to be at prom?"
"Yeah," Jake replied. "But the power went out at the hotel too, so they had to end it a little early. No biggie though. We thought we could maybe be of some use here though, if that's okay with you."
"Of course," Chief Boden said. "We could always use some extra hands, especially tonight."
"Come on," KJ said, grabbing onto Jake's hand. "Let's go get changed into something more comfortable."
As they walked away, Gabby nudged Kelly in the side. "See, I told you he was a good kid." Kelly just shook his head and smiled.
The night seemed to be going pretty smoothly so far, with the exception of Severide having to kick out that one guy for starting a fight. Then, all of a sudden, a certain detective walked in.
"Hey, I'm Detective Erin Lindsay, Chicago PD," said the beautiful brunette.
"Hey. Lieutenant Severide. What can I do for you?" asked Kelly.
"I heard one of you guys got into it with a guy named Vince Keeler tonight. And judging by the bruises on your hand, I'm gonna assume that's you," she said in her signature raspy voice. "Keeler's got a pretty bad reputation. Been in our system for a while now. I just got information from one of my CI's that Keeler was pretty angry about what happened tonight. He said he's gonna kill a fireman from Firehouse 51 tonight. So just be cautious, alright? I have an officer parked outside just in case."
"Thanks," said Kelly. "I'll keep my eyes open."
Lindsay nodded in approval, turning around. Kelly couldn't help but stare as the beautiful detective walked away.
"Hey Kelly," KJ said, walking up to her best friend. "Who was that?"
"What? Oh, no one," Kelly said, still a little distracted from his encounter.
"You like her, don't you?" KJ said, a smirk evident on her face.
"What? No I don't," Kelly said defensively."
"Oh, come on, Kelly. I can practically see the drool rolling down your face," KJ said jokingly.
"Oh yeah Junior?" Kelly exclaimed, now laughing at the situation. "You think you know everything, don't you?!" he said, picking the 16 year old up, and carrying her fireman style into the common room.
Kelly finally put KJ down, KJ then stood up, trying to smooth out her clothes.
"Hey KJ," Jake said, smiling at the close relationship between her and Kelly.
"Hey Jake, what's up?" KJ asked.
"I have something to give you, but it's in my car. Come on," Jake's said motioning towards the door. "I think you'll really like it."
"Really?" KJ asked.
"Yup!"

Jake and KJ began walking towards his car, his arm around her to keep her warm. They heard some leaves rustling behind them, disregarding the noises as the wind. Jake unlocked his car, opened the door on the driver's side, and took out a small envelope.
"Here, these are for you," Jake said with a shy smile as he handed her the envelope.
KJ slowly opened the top, pulling out two pieces of paper similar to the ones Kelly had given her a couple of weeks before. "Oh my God! Two tickets to the Bulls-Warriors game?" KJ exclaimed, looking down at the tickets. "How did you manage to get these?! I though it was all sold..." KJ was cut off by a cry of pain coming from Jake.
KJ looked up to see blood pouring from Jake's abdomen. But before she had a chance to scream for help, she was struck in the head by a heavy object and felt the world go black.

"Help! Help!"
"Hey does anyone hear that?" Casey asked. They were all gathered in the kitchen, since all of the other rooms in the firehouse were packed with sleeping civilians.
"Oh my God! Jake!" Shay screamed, rushing over to the teenage boy who was struggling to hold himself up against the wall. "Dawson, get over here!" she screamed.
As they were trying to load him into the ambulance, Kelly could see that he was trying to force some words out.
"KJ," Jake said softly. "They took KJ."
