Kate followed behind hen as they walked through the gates of a grave yard, a herd of protesters stood outside with signs, protesting against an army funeral

"This is so wrong" Kate shook her head , watching as protesters chanted

"It happens a lot" chimney told her

"Okay, we got a colostomy bag, probably backing up. You're gonna have to intubate him." Bobby called

Hen and chimney kneeled beside the man, he quickly swatted them away, continuing to groan in pain  "hell no. You do it." He Pointed to Bobby

"Sir, I am not a trained paramedic. I can't intubate you. They can."

"I'm fine." He spluttered

"Sir, you're not fine. Your bowel is probably obstructed. The contents of your colostomy bag are backing up into your system. You're about to choke on your own waste. You will suffocate and die." Chimney argued

"Okay, sir, if you refuse care, we cannot administer it by force"

"What about those?" He motioned to Eddie and Kate,

"Diaz. Quinn"

Kate walked over to the man, she held her hand out for the equipment as the man continued to talk

"Diaz. What kind of name is that?" He asked

"My father's from Mexico. My mother's Swedish. I can help you out with the Swedish half. But no one told me which half that is."

He pushed Eddie away, not that Eddie was bothered. He didn't particularly care for the man's wellbeing

"You?" He asked Kate

"Irish" she replied, waiting for the argument

"You'll do" he nodded

Kate held back a snappy comment, she got ready to intubate when the man rolled over, vomiting the contents of his bag

Kate took a quick step back, holding back a gag

"he's aspirating.

"Actual diarrhea of the mouth outstanding." chimney gaged

"Okay, guys, let's get to work. Let me roll him over." Hen ordered

They all kneeled around him, Buck and Eddie rolled him onto his side, Eddie stuck his fingers down his throat to try clear his airways

"I need mechanical suction. - This isn't cutting it."

"We've got suction on the truck" hen said "Let's get him on the gurney. Let's go"

They slipped the back board underneath him, on the count of three they lifted him from the ground. Eddie went with hen in the front of the van, chimney was left in the Back.

Kate stayed behind with Bobby and buck, she followed them out of the grave yard; they were greeted by a brunette

"Well done." She smiled

"Right, your ride-along was today." Buck wrapped his arm around his sister, hugging her from the side

"Uh, Cap, Kate - this is my sister Maddie." He introduced

"Great to finally meet you." Cap shook Maddie's hand

"Hey, Bucks told me a lot about you" Kate shook her hand "nice to put a face to the name"

"So you're the infamous Kate my little brothers always taking about" Maddie teased

Kate felt a blush burn her cheeks, she gave a small smile "I hope he's praising Me" she joked
