SERENDIPITY [KELLY SEVERIDE 1]

EIGHTEEN

***

Logan and Mark walked into the firehouse with Amy and looked around seeing some people walk around on one of the coldest nights in Chicago. Logan held a bag of some food while Mark held up a bag of flashlights and she walked into the kitchen and saw Jeff holding a brown paper bag next to Otis. She watched as Amy and Mark walked to the Chief's office and Logan walked to Jeff and put her hand on his back and he turned to her.

"Hey, I didn't know you'd be coming." He said and he moved his hand and placed it around her shoulders and bent down to kiss her forehead. She nodded and placed the bag of canned goods on the table.

"Yeah, Mark, Amy and I brought some stuff, they just went to talk to Boden." She said and he nodded and looked down at her.

"How was last shift?" He asked and she shrugged and breathed out looking down at the ground.

"Lost a kid." She said softly and he shook his head and pulled her into a hug, resting his chin on the top of her head.

"I'm sorry, Logan." He said and Logan pulled away and looked up into his eyes.

"It's all good. Hey, I'm going to go get changed out of my work clothes, can I borrow a shirt?" She asked and he nodded and spoke looking at her.

"Yeah, it's in my duffel bag under the bed."He said and she nodded and stood on her tip toes to give him a quick peck on the lips. She turned and went to go change into something much more comfortable and Jeff walked into the bathroom as she was washing her hands.

"Hey, I gotta make quick run for Cruz, want to come?" He asked and she gave him a grin and spoke.

"What and actually spend time with my boyfriend?" She asked saying the actual word out loud and he rolled his eyes and she nodded and laughed, as he started walking up to her.

"Yeah, I'll come, just give me a few. I have to tell Mark and Amy." She said and he nodded and she looked up at him in the mirror, feeling his body heat on her back.

"I can't go if you're going to look at me like that."She said and he smirked and looked her up and down before turning to leave the bathroom. She rolled her eyes and left the bathroom to go out and find Amy and Mark. After finding Amy and Mark, Logan grabbed her coat and hat and turned around, bumping into a chest. She looked up and saw Dylan standing in front of her.

"Sorry." Dylan said and Logan walked passed her fraternal twin and she met up with Jeff outside of the apparatus doors and she walked up to him and spoke.

"I'm ready to go." She said and he nodded and their hands found each other's and they held hands as they walked down the street. Not even five minutes into their walk and Logan was already shivering from the cold. Jeff brought her closer, wrapping his arms around her shoulders and she leaned into him as they walked.

"Why are we even coming to this place?" She asked and Jeff shook his head slightly and spoke.

"Cruz wanted some more food and first shift doesn't have a lot." He said and she nodded and they arrived at the store that was closed off. Jeff raised his hand and spoke out into the door.

"Mr. Houk!" He asked and a flashlight shone through our eyes and a man came to us.

"The power's out! We're closed!" He yelled and Jeff grabbed his badge and Logan mimicked his actions and showed Mr. Houk hers.

"I'm from Firehouse 51 and she's a detective. We just need some food, theres like a bajillion people who are starving." He said and the man came to the door and opened it, letting them both in.

"I'm assuming Joe Cruz sent you both." He said and they both nodded and Logan looked around the place and spoke.

"Yeah." She said and the man nodded and pointed to the back.

"I've got some soup and beans in the back, but I can't get them my back is bad. I'll wrap up some meat for you both."He said and Jeff turned to Logan and spoke.

"I'll be right back." He said and she nodded and he kissed her forehead quickly and turned to the back. She walked around the store, looking at some of the newspaper articles he had hung up when the jingle of the door caught Logan's attention. All of a sudden she heard Mr. Houk groan and she walked out from behind a small aisle and saw a man holding a knife. He looked at Logan and smirked walking towards her and Jeff came out and shone his light into their faces.

"Hey!" He yelled and went to the men who looked at Logan. The man with the knife raised his hand but Logan grabbed his wrist and twisted it, making the knife fall to the ground. She brought his arm down and threw a punch to the face and felt Jeff's body heat behind her as he fought the other man. She brought her elbow up and hit the man with it and Jeff yelled at them to get out and they did, running out after each other. He turned to Logan and placed a hand in her hair, his eyes skimming over her body quickly to make sure she was alright but she turned and bent down to help the man who was stabbed.

"Shit." She cursed and Jeff grabbed his flashlight and shone it on the man and she shook her head.

"We need to stop the bleeding." She said and Jeff got up to grab somethings and came back with tequila, duct tape, paper towels and a zip log bag for makeshift gloves. Logan grabbed some paper towels and wadded them up and pressed them against Mr.Houk's wounds.

"It's bleeding too much, we need to clean it." She said and Jeff continued to speak to Houk until the windows broke and Logan flinched seeing more than two men show up.

"You need to leave!" Jeff yelled and the man laughed and spoke.

"Man, whatchu gonna do? Take on all of us?" He asked and a man shoved a gun out and Logan's hand flew to her side and she took out her .19 and pointed it at the man with the gun.

"Put your weapon down." She said and the man raised an eyebrow and looked at her.

"Whatchua going to do?" He asked and Logan tilted her head and pulled back the safety looking into his eyes.

"We can play if you'd like." She said and the man in front of her sucked his teeth and she looked at him.

"What? You got your ass kicked by a woman so you had to grab your little friends." She said and the man breathed in heavily and Logan clenched her jaw.

"You can shoot me if you'd like. But just know you'll have the entire police force on your asses before you can even leave this store." She said and before anything else could happen sirens came into play and all the men turned and got scared. A patrolman known as Kevin Atwater got out his car and started yelling while his partner, Kim Burgess was speaking into her radio.

Logan watched as the men left and she saw Atwater walk into the store and she got out seeing Kim.

"Are you alright?" Kim asked and Logan nodded and placed her gun back in her side.

"Yeah, I'm all good. We need an ambo though, we got multiple stab wounds."She said and Kim nodded and called it in. Logan sighed and she walked back into the store and saw Atawter. He turned to her and gave her a respectful nod.

"Detective." He said and she gave him a small smile and nodded to him.

"Atwater, nice to see you." She said and he nodded and an ambo came seconds later. As the two men grabbed Mr. Houk, Jeff turned to Logan watching Atwater and Burgess talk and he placed a hand on her shoulder.

"You alright?" He asked and she nodded and gave him a small smile.

"Yeah, I'm all good. You?" She asked and he nodded and her hand found his and their fingers intertwined and she gave him a squeeze as they began going back to the firehouse.
