You deserve a better life (English)

Chapter 38

The next morning, Boden informed on the events of the previous night. "Captain Casey and Sylvie Brett will be sitting out today. Kidd, you will replace him and Chout will ride on the 61." Boden said. Shay rolled her eyes. After the morning briefing, everyone went to the common room and ate breakfast. "Who is Chout?" Darden asked as he sat down. That's when Chout walked onto 51. "That's Chout." Shay said. "Great." Darden murmured. "Hey Shay. It's great to be back." Chout said excitedly and hugged Shay. Shay freed herself from his embrace and straightened her jacket. "Hi. My name is Chout. You must be Andrew Darden. I heard you're on the 51 now." Chout said and shook Darden's hand. "Yes, nice to meet you." Darden said. Then the first call for both ambulances and truck 81 came in. "This can be fun with the 3 on 61." Cruz said. "Dean will love the chat, he gets tomorrow." Kelly said. "How is he anyway?" Cruz asked. "Quite good actually. He gets to deal with the Herrmann rascals today." Kelly said. "Hey." Herrmann protested. After breakfast, Kelly went into his office to do some paperwork when he saw shadows darting passed out of the corner of his eye. "What are you two doing here?" Kelly asked. "What, we need fresh clothes and a shower." Matt said, opening his locker. "How are you guys?" Kelly asked. "Tired, desperate, not knowing how to proceed." Sylvie said. Kelly rummaged in his pocket and pulled out his house key. "What are you planning to do?" Sylvie asked. "Here." Kelly said, tossing Matt the key. "Are you serious?" Matt asked. 'Go to our house. This is your new home for as long as you need it." Kelly said. "Are you sure?" Matt asked. "Yes, Dean is with the Herrmann's. So, you have your rest all day and you can catch up on your sleep." Kelly said. "Thanks." Sylvie said. At that moment, Kelly's phone rang. "Hello...yes...oh no, poor guy...yes...I'll try to come as soon as possible...well...see you later then." Kelly said and hung up. "What's the matter?" Sylvie asked. "Dean's sick. He has a high fever and Cindy took him to Med." Kelly said. Then a call for Squad came in. "Listen. We can go to Med." Sylvie suggested on the way out. "It's out of the question. You've been through enough already." Kelly said. While putting on his gear. "That's not a problem." Matt said. "All right. I'll let Cindy know the two of you are on your way, but promise you'll go home and change first." Kelly said. Yes, we promise." Matt said. Then Kelly got in the truck and they drove off.

Matt and Sylvie drove to their best friend's house, took a quick shower, changed and then drove to Med. Just as they entered the emergency room, Will greeted them. "Hey guys. We heard what happened, are you okay?" Will asked. "Yes, according to the circumstances. How's Dean?" Sylvie asked. "The fever's down again, but he can't get a sound out. We now suspect he has a sore throat but are awaiting the test results." Will said. "Where is he?" Matt asked. "Right here, come on." Will said, leading them to the treatment room where Dean and Cindy were playing a card game. "Hey you two. Christopher told what happened. How are you guys?" Cindy asked. "So far so good." Matt said. Dean stretched out his arms and Sylvie hugged him. "And how are you, little man?" Sylvie asked. "Aside from losing his voice, he's doing a little better." Cindy said. At that moment, Will and Natalie walked into the room. "Hey, how are you feeling?" Natalie asked. Dean gave a thumbs up. "Good, we have the test results here. As already suspected, Dean has a mild sore throat. We'll give you another IV and then you can go home." Natalie said. "I'll also write you down an anti-inflammatory medicine." Will said. A nurse gave Dean another infusion and 2 hours later he was released. "I'll take him back to my place, then you can get some sleep. You two look terrible." Cindy said and Dean nodded in agreement. "Besides, Kelly said to keep him with me for now and that you guys can pick him up tonight." Cindy said. Matt signed the discharge papers. "Little man, you've got plenty of ice cream, pudding and soup to look forward to over the next few days." Will said, ruffling Dean's hair. Dean drove back home with Cindy and Matt and Sylvie drove back to their friend's house, got into bed and slept a little.

At the evening, Matt picked Dean up from the Herrmann's and drove him home.
