What happens in Vegans Definitely didn't stay there

Chapter 2: Ambulance 61

51 gets confused by their friendship, Sylvie and Mills lose a patient, Sylvie and Kelly decide how they want their relationship to be post-annulment, and Sylvie becomes firm friends with Casey and Dawson.

The next few shifts passed quickly for Sylvie. Kelly had taken the task of getting her to and from work with great pleasure, and made sure she had a ride no matter what was happening. She was getting her bearings with Peter, and things were working out well between them. She even had a viewing for a new room with a couple of paramedics who worked out of other houses, getting her to a nicer part of Chicago. She was losing her walk to work, but the safety would be worth it.

It was a pretty normal day of nearly back to back calls, but she and Mills had stopped for sandwiches after their third call of the day. They'd already missed breakfast, and if things kept going the way they were they would miss lunch and dinner too.

"So...how are you settling into 51? Feeling like home yet?" Mills asked between bites of his sandwich. Sylvie smiled before swallowing to answer.

"Yeah, I am. Everyone's really nice and it's so busy, it's such a change from constant car crashes and pretty much nothing else." She bit off another piece of her turkey club, waiting for the inevitable question from Mills.

"What's up with you and Severide? I saw him bringing you into work some mornings, are you seeing each other after the trip?"

Sylvie laughed at this one. She was a horrible liar, but she could keep it to mostly the truth. "Nah, we're not dating. We became good friends and I don't live in a great part of town, he decided to take pity on me and bring me into work instead of walking in every morning. He's nearly like my big brother, it's sweet." It was close enough to the truth, Kelly had become a good friend to her since they'd made The Mistake.

They'd met with an attorney the day before, and worked out they could get it annulled in Vegas, so it was essentially like it had never happened. They didn't even need to go back, the forms had been filled out and were in the process of being filed with the courts already. It was an almost too easy process.

"That's good. He's a good guy, he was just really lost after Shay died. He's coming back to himself now, which is nice."

"Ambulance 61, injured male, Cordova High School, 3317 South Garfield" came over the radio, and Brett responded immediately.

"Ambulance 61, copy. On route to scene now, eta three minutes."

Mills floored it, and Sylvie wrapped their lunches and shoved them in the glove box. Injuries waited for nobody, not even two paramedics who just wanted food. They pulled up and a teacher was waving them over immediately, so they grabbed the bags and ran.

"Make him breathe, please!"

"Please make him breathe."

Sylvie saw the teenager cough up water and take a deep breath, and pulled aside the young woman doing CPR so she could take a look. Mills made sure everyone was back, and then started doing his vitals too.

"You saved him, good job. What's your name?"

"Jason. Please don't call my dad, he'll freak out. I don't want him to worry is all." He looked nearly more concerned about his dad finding out than the near death experience, and Sylvie felt so sorry for him.

"We already called him, Jason. He'll meet you at the hospital." The teacher standing to the side said.

They loaded the boy up on the gurney and got him into the ambulance. Mills handed Brett the keys, telling her to drive them. The journey was fine for the first minute, until Mills came through on the radio.
