Sometimes we set fires on purpose. It's called a controlled burn. You light the match, then let the fire ignite and build bigger and brighter. And even though we could put it out, we don't. We wait. We let the heat devour everything in its path because sometimes you just have to burn all the trees to the ground if you want them to grow again.

"Word of advice, you may want to give Sullivan a little extra space, as in all the space." Travis told the girls as they all walked done the y'all "He's in a mood."

"Ugh, when isn't he in a mood?" Y/n asked groaning

"Cranky's kind of his baseline." Maya said as they began walking up the stairs

"No, it's worse than usual." Vic shook her head "Just ask the punching bag. I wonder what's up."

"Guys, quick." Jack ran up behind them pushing past them and up the stairs "Come on. Come on!"

"Why?" Y/n asked as they walked up and to the kitchen

"Only have a couple of seconds." He continued turning around and pointing to them

"For what?" Y/n laughed

"Throwing a party after shift for Dean." He told them "Our place. It's his birthday."

"Miller hates his birthday." Andy shook her head

"I want to do something nice." Jack told her

"By throwing him a party that he won't want at his own house." Travis furrowed his brows "Totally."

"People who say they don't like birthdays are the ones who usually actually want something special, right?" Jack asked looking at them all

"That has not been my experience." Travis shook his head

"Nope, okay. Nope, nope." Vic shook her head "Not hearing this."

"What?" Jack asked watching her walk away "Come on."

"Actively un-hearing this." Sh shook her head

"Why not?" Y/n chuckled watching her

"No, I'm really sort of extremely terribly bad at secrets, so..." She walked to the island as millers walked in he looked at the way she shoved a muffin in her mouth

"Vic's got a secret." Miller walked closer "Uh-huh. I give it about five minutes." He got close to her and stood next to her waiting for her to spill

"Happy birthday, Miller." She spoke the muffin still in her mouth

"What?!" He faced her, his head whipping her way quickly

"Jack's throwing a surprise birthday party to celebrate." vic blurted

"Vic!" Jack yelled

"I'm sorry!" She apologized the muffin still in her mouth "I'm sorry!"

"Come on, man." Miller turned to face him "Like, I thought I was clear." He turned to them all "Look, guys, I don't want to make my birthday a thing, okay?"

"Okay." That all repeated

"Okay" he nodded "Can we-"

"Miller."Ripley walked in

"Yeah."

"I had no idea." He shook his head "Happy birthday.

"Thank you, sir." He shook his he and

"Chief Ripley, hello." Vic welcomed as she had more muffin in her mouth

"I was, uh... I was looking for Sullivan." Ripley looked around "figured he'd be in here for breakfast."
