Everything We Need

Back Home

The sun was just coming up as Shelby was driving into the windy city of Chicago. She took in the city skyline. The tall buildings becoming brighter as the sun rose higher into the sky. It had been 10 years since she first stepped foot in the city of Chicago.

She was back to work. Back to work as a firefighter in a city she truly loved and wanted to get back too. She wasn't sure of who she would run into or if she would even see any of her old friends.

She knew Angie, Andy, and Hallie were all gone. Scott had reached out to her when Angie became sick. Shelby made a trip to Chicago to see one of her best friends again before she passed.

Angie and her lost contact after Shelby's parents forced her to move. Then one day Angie stumbled upon Shelby's social media page and she reached out. The two friends instantly clicked again. They had kept in contact once they started talking again.

Shelby followed the GPS in her car to her new apartment. She pulled into the parking garage that was under her building. She parked and made her way to the elevator to go upstairs.

She exited the elevator once she reached her floor. She went and unlocked her apartment and stepped inside. It was pretty much empty. Her furniture wouldn't be here till tomorrow.

Shelby walked over to the giant window that was in her living room. She looked out over the city as it was coming to life and people were beginning their work day.

"Fresh start. This is what I needed." Shelby had lost both of her parents within the last year. Her dad passed due to lung cancer. More than likely caused by the job. Her mother had begged her to not continue her firefighter career after her dad passed. Her mom passed from a heart attack 6 months after her dad.

Shelby went back down to her car to grab the few items she had and carried them upstairs. She set up the air mattress she had to be able to sleep that night. She than ran a few errands around the city.

By the time she got home it was time for bed. She curled up under the blankets on the air mattress and went to sleep. Hoping she picked the right city to try and start the next chapter of her life.

2 Days Later

Shelby had spent the previous day unpacking and getting her apartment set up the way she wanted. Today was her first day working for the the CFD.

She had accepted the lieutenant position on squad 6. From what she had been told the whole team had been in a gas leak accident. One that killed two firefighters, injured the other 2, and the last one was transferred.

She made her way into her new firehouse. It was eerily quiet. But that was to be expected considering what had happened.  She headed for Chief Walkers office and knocked on the door.

Shelby heard someone yell for her to come in. She opened the door and Chief Walker was sitting at his desk. Shelby closed the door behind her and walked up to the Chiefs desk.

"Chief Walker. I am Lieutenant Shelby Jensen. Here to work on squad 6."

Walker stood up and shook her hand. "Welcome Lieutenant Jensen. Glad to have you."

"Thank you for this opportunity. I am glad to be here."

Chief Walkers expression softened. "Your father would be so proud of you." Chief Walker gave her a warm smile.

Shelby relaxed a little bit. "Thank You Chief." She returned his smile.

"I'll meet you in the briefing room in 10 minutes. Get you introduced to your squad."

"Thank you Chief."

"Dismissed."

Shelby headed out of the Chiefs office and found the briefing room. She took a seat and waited for everyone else to join. Slowly the rest of firehouse made their way into the briefing room.
