7. Firestarter

"Shay med request at front window please." Ed shouted through the door being lazy again.

I get to the window as four firefighters waited to be seen.. "Hey how can I help you?"

The man smiled largely and sat down a peice of paper. A List of expired meds outdated. "We need outdated meds replaced" the guy mentioned.

"Sure ill get them for you. Just be a few minutes."

When I got back with his replacement they were all staring and whispering.

"Whats so secret over here?" I asked hoping to be clued into the discussion.

"Do you remember me?" The nice looking man asked. "You said I was sort of beautiful."

Then I got a flash.
( Need an exit for basement floor please. Stat. Female victim is barely breathing. Smoke inhalation and small gash on the back of her head has stopped bleeding. The voice answered back over the radio.

Your eyes are heavy slowly opening and then shutting again. Small images of a firefighter pulling you through the smoke filled room.

"Your beautiful" you remember saying right before your eyes went heavy again.

"Hey, hey can you keep your eyes on my sweetheart? Can you tell me your name?"

He radioed again. " Where's my exit?" Still trying to get me to remain focused on his face.

Hey there, he smiled down at her as he held her cheek.

I'm gonna die right? You asked. The man looked like an angel but you knew he really wasn't.

"No listen there coming ok just stay with me. You fight. You look like a fighter.")

I snapped back into reality then focused on that gorgeous face again. "Oh your the hero." I smiled remembering.

"Severide." He said with a boyish smile.

"I'm Shay."

"Shay huh? He looked disappointed almost..

I'm sorry so who was the woman who ruined my name?

Oh no it was nothing like that he explained. My roommates name was Shay.

Was?

She past away a year ago.

I'm so sorry to hear that. Then immediately I felt awful. Great, you idiot bring up the dead mate. I mentally slapped myself in head.

"Well Shay You look alot better." He added giving me his most sexy grin.

"No thanks to you."

"Anytime." He smiled.

"Alright you are all set. Thank you for saving my life. Ill bet you get that alot."

"Yeah how did you know?"

"I can sense that about people."

"Well goodnight Shay and take care of yourself."

After work I decided to show. The bar called Mollys was crowded. Janice and I walk in trying to find any familiars.

First I saw my hero standing next to a group that I assumed were all firefighter from 51 so I gave a wave. Then I spotted the nice Dr Halstead in the back and I rushed over.

"Glad you made it." Oh this is Rachelle Weber she is the sister of George the one who passed.

Oh I'm so sorry for your loss. I didnt really get to know your brother. She shook her head and walked away.
