One week later

''Ooh drag that nice pants onto your sexy bum lieutenant.'' Gabby laughed from the bed as Matt getting dressed. He smiled at her and put the shirt on then, sitting down on the edge of the bed again as he was getting his shoes on.

''Are you sure you are ready?'' Gabby asked as she sat up and massaged his shoulders.

''I sure am.'' He said as he turned around then and took her hand and she got out of bed as well as they walked to the kitchen, having breakfast together. He was packing his back and eh started to become a bit nervous to go back to work today. He felt like he was ready but on the other time he was also not sure if he could do it all again. He wanted to o but it was a lot and maybe he had pretended that he was fine, but he was not so sure now. But there was no way back now and he walked to his car, waving at Gabby and went to the firehouse then.

As he walked inside he tried to pretend that nothing had happened and he walked to the kitchen and the common room and the other man greeted him, another young man standing there at the counter and they shook hands.

''Danny Archer, the new candidate.'' He said and Matt smiled.

''Matthew Casey, I am your lieutenant.'' Matt said, although he guessed that Herrmann would have told him that and the morning moved a bit slow. Matt tried to clean up his office a bit as Herrmann had left it pretty messy but was happy to be back here. He knew it was a lot of weeks he had been here but it mad him happy to be back in his old office.

Walking to the common room again, he was happy that the man did not seem to mind or brother him about what happened. Maybe it will turn out again as old times. Danny Archer was making lunch for all of them.

''Hungry, lieutenant?'' Danny said and Matt nodded.

''Glad you are feeling better…you were pretty sick that you were off that long, right?'' Danny asked, rally innocent but it made Matt feel terrible and all the guys looked at him now. He was really not sure what to say now but it made him pretty upset.

''I was sick, yeah.'' Matt just said then. He did not want to tell to anybody that he had been abducted. The men knew but he did not want the new guy to know.

''Glad you are back.'' Danny archer said while Matt just sat down, looking at his phone.

Kelly was still looking at his friend, still worried that Matt was pretending to be better than he really was doing. But he could keep an eye on his friend hopefully it would all be okay.

Matt was just trying to focus on his phone now as he had gotten a text from Gabby how he was doing.

I miss you…and little Leslie Andi. He texted her then and he smiled as he got a text back.

We miss you too.

''Lunch.'' The candidate announced as he done making food and all the man got up, appreciating what the candidate had put on the table for them.

They had barely finished their lunch when there was a call coming in at a big apartment building and Matt waved at the new candidate, feeling like he was back in the role he had been in before.

''All right, you are coming with me, Archer.'' Matt said then and the men smirked softly as it was like old Matt was back. They went inside the buildings after listening to all the orders of Boden and while the other men ran up the stairs, Matt run up the stairs with Archer right behind him.

Kelly looked as his friend ran up the stairs, hoping that he would be fine.

Matt made his way through the building, the new candidate following him closely. He knocked down one of the doors, calling out and looking around for residents and the candidate did the same behind him but luckily the apartment was fully empty and they walked on to the next.

Suddenly when he saw something behind him he looked as he saw that the candidate behind him was getting closer, holding up his axe.

Matt freaked out a bit and for a second it looked like Jacks Nesbitt's face reflected in the mask.

Gabby was rubbing over the baby bump as she was on the couch. She wanted to still be working but Matt was so happy to go back to work and didn't want her to be working now she was pregnant of Leslie Andi.

''Your daddy is working now…and I am so proud of him. I am so excited for you to join us and be our little daughter. I am so proud of you already and so is your daddy…we will be an amazing family…he has been through a lot but he is trying so hard.'' Gabby said then and she smiled as Leslie was kicking a bit. She could not wait to hold her little daughter although it was still a lot of weeks away.

Matt ran out of the building, panicking slightly and threw is mask off, breathing heavily while he was still holding his gear and Kelly came walking his way from the ambulance. He had dropped one of the injured people off there when he saw his friend dashing out, the candidate nowhere to be seen. A little later he finally saw that the candidate came walking out, looking at Matt a little confused.

''What were you doing?'' Kelly asked as he pushed Matt to the side. He was not angry with his friend but he was worried about his friend. He seemed so freaked out and he handed Matt a bottle of water.

''Here, what is wrong?'' He asked worried as Matt drank some of the water.

''I am fine.'' Matt said as he spit out some of the water.

''You are not fine.'' Kelly asked worried.

Matt clenched the crowbar in his hand, anger bubbling up in him as he wanted people to think he was fine.

''I am all good.'' Matt said angry before throwing his crowbar to the ground and walking off to his truck, leaving a baffled Kelly behind.

Angry he walked to the truck, slapping his hand against the side before looking up.

''I am fine…I am fine…'' He just whispered softly as he tried to get a hang off himself again before joining the other men again.

NOTE: Matt went back to work but he was pretty scared about it, but he is not the only one. Gabby was worried about him and so is Kelly and although he tried to keep doing good he did get a bit unsure and even worse, during a call he freaked out when he suddenly thought he saw a reflection and ran out of the building. Kelly did see it happen and walked his way but Matt got angry instead and walked away and
