The firefighters were arriving back at the Fire Station with the Police. Station Officer Steele and Elvis were first to arrive back with Venus not far behind. Penny had been with the Police even though there wasn't a case yet. Everyone got out of the vehicles and Malcolm and Rose escorted Penny to the others. Sam looked onto them. "We should have a spare truck from Newtown repair shop by tomorrow." Sam told Steele.
"That old beast with the bad clutch?" Penny asked.
"Yeah..."
"So... We know Ellie's on duty in a few hours. Who's gonna fill in for Kyle?" Elvis asked.
"I'm rehiring Jupiter Crew. Elvis, Penny. You two are done for the shift."
"Sir... That's not necessary..."
"You've been rattled. Go home and rest."
Elvis left for the lockers while Penny stood by Venus in complete stress after what happened on the Newtown road.
Out in Chicago,
Chris, Matt, Wallace, and Joe including Gabby were heading out to London Heathrow to Cardiff when they have just received an update from the news. The news came from ABC 7 News Chicago. "Tonight, we begin with an update on the crash involving a fire truck in the UK. Police are now investigating the crash and it had gained the attention of the public. Our UK Correspondent is live in Newtown right now." They read.
"Public outrage in the UK as the fire service of Pontypandy was involved in an accident. The driver of this car: Doug Holmes is on life support after a crash involving a fire engine from the Pontypandy Fire Service with the name Jupiter. The crew of the engine is yet to be identified but we have learned that the driver of Jupiter has just been identified as Penny Morris who is a member of the Pontypandy Fire Service. As of right now, she is still on the team but an investigation by HQ is ongoing. Reporting live in Pontypandy. Joe Flores. ABC 7 Chicago."
They were shocked to hear that one of their own in the UK could be facing criminal charges. "Can't believe it... She's about to face charges for the car accident." Joe told them.
"Cruz... We don't know any other details yet. She's going to get through this."
"Cap... I know.. it's just that... I don't... I don't want her to have charges."
"Cruz... We're gonna give them a helping hand. They're gonna need all the help they can get with legal options."
"Casey... Have you not been suspended?"
"Yeah... I don't remember what time though."
"Casey has been suspended before. Even I was." Dawson added.
"Hey... Cruz. We can give them all the help they need. I'm sure Sam knows we're on our way." Herrmann replied.
"I gave the station officer there a heads up by text. He said it's a good idea we help them with legal and investigation too." Boden told them.
"So... We good, Cruz?" Casey asked him.
"Yeah... We're good."
"Ok... Let's make our flight on time."
The firefighters from Chicago had left the lounge to make their flight to London on time. Someone had to hope that nothing happened to either firefighter.
Back in Pontypandy,
Elvis and Penny were just about to head out for the rest of the day when they saw the officials from HQ talking with Station Officer Steele. "What's this?" Elvis asked.
Boyce presented him with the tablet which had video of Jupiter driving by making a stop. "I thought there was no camera or traffic signal anywhere." Elvis told them.
