"Dr. Rhodes, thank you so much for the fish taco," Dr. Vega said as he purchased the taco from the food truck. She gave Conner a friendly smile.

"Sure thing," he said as everyone else went to get their food, which Conner had offered to pay for.

"Hey Will, you sure you don't want anything?" Dr. Rhodes called out to him. 

"Yeah, I brought something from home," Dr. Halstead responded with his hands stuffed in his coat pocket.

"You brought something from home? I've seen your fridge. What'd you bring expired yogurt and baking soda," Dr. Manning said looking up at will.

"All right, we get it. He's rich," Dr. Halstead said.

"He's just new. He's trying to be nice," Dr. Vega said sitting down next to April and Natalie.

"What is that?" Dr. Vega asked looking at Natalie's food. "It's some cabbage kale thing. I promised my mother-in-law I would try it, so.."

"Let me get you a napkin," Will left to find one for Natalie, who had some of the food on her face.

"Um... Nat, I think me and April are catching on to something," Dr. Vega said.

"Yeah I think I'm seeing it too," April said.

"Easy, you two, we're just friends," Dr. Manning said.

"If you say so," Dr. vega smirked.

"Oh, what about you and Dr. Rhodes?" Natalie then motioned with her fork in his direction.

"What? No, I'm too busy; I have an E.D. to attend to." Mavis shook her head as she finished her taco.

By the time Will returned with the napkin for Natalie, everyone's beepers began to ring, and Maggie came outside running to them.

"Shooting in a movie theater. Mass casualties. About to get crazy. EMT four minutes out," Maggie announced.

"Check that, they're here," Dr. Halstead said as the ambulance pulled up. "All right everyone let's go," Dr. Vega said as they all started rushing back to the E.D.

While running to the E.D., she ran into Conner, who was throwing away the food he had ordered. Looking up at him, she apologized. He said, "Don't worry," and they dashed into the hospital to prepare for the incoming patients.

"Lucy Simms, 34, unresponsive Flaccid, agonal breathing. Tubed her without drugs," Brett said wheeling in Mrs. Simms on the gurney.

"The boy hurt?" Dr. Vega asked 

"He was never touched. Mom was literally a human shield," Jessica said holding the boy in her arms. Mavis and Conner started working on Lucy when they got her into trauma room 2.

"On my count, One, Two, three," Dr. Rhodes said as they all lifted Mrs. Simms off the gurney and onto the hospital bed.

Mrs. Simms began coding so Conner got leverage and started chest compressions. while April was bagging her.

"Slide over so I can needle the left chest," Dr. Vega said to April as she opened a needle she had grabbed from behind her.

"Hold compressions," she said. Conner then removed his hands and Mavis stuck the needle in her chest. Air began to woosh out. Mavis throw the back of what was on the needle behind her.

Mrs. Simms's stats started to rise. "How long was she down?" Dr. Vega asked.

"23 minutes," April said. "Let's hope she'll wake up Mavis looked at Conner.
