The ferris wheel

POV Maya
The past days, weeks, months, years.. I've been feeling empty. But there was a time that everything went better. I met Carina. I was captain. Everyone respected me. But now.. Everything is going back to how it was before. I am supposed to be a captain. I am good at it. Maybe blackmailing the chief was not the way, but I would do anything to throw Beckett out of our station. Let me do what I am good at. But nobody understands me. Not even my own wife. She decided that I am unstable and that I need a therapist. I want and I will proof that I am worth to be a captain. I will get the respect back that I deserve.

Halloween.. I hate this holiday. I've been working hours without any sleep. But I am used to it. We are putting up halloween decorations, when Beckett tells us to stand in line. Beckett has been treating me like shit, but I understand. I would probably do the same, if I knew someone wanted me out of the station.

Just stand up straight. Head up. Chest forward. Always look forward. And be quiet.

I couldn't do anything wrong this way. While Beckett is briefing us, a smile appears on his face. He pulls a cord above him and before I know it I am full covered with some red sort of slime. I am shocked. The rest looks shocked at me. Trying to keep myself together. "Can we do something?" Andy asks me. "Nothing legal" I answer and walk off. "We got your back Bishop!" Ben shouts.

I let the water run. I watch the red wash away. It reminded me of the day my dad woke me up by throwing a bucket of water over me. It wasn't a great feeling. But I couldn't show that it bothered me.

I came out of the shower, putted the cleanest clothes I had on and dried my hair with a towle. Carina walks in and looks at me. "Do you have red hair?" she asks me. I answer and made it clear it was Beckett. Suddenly she starts laughing. I don't understand what is funny at this point. "You smell and you have no clean clothes anymore because you have been avoiding me and everyone". She was right, I need her. "I don't know why that is funny" I answer. "I laugh because otherwise I'll cry" she tells me. I nod and walk off. "Maya" I hear her shouting at me, but then Theo and I got called for an injured person at a sort of halloween fair.

Theo and I arrive. We run to the injured person and help him. He was okay, probably more shocked. Some boys run out of the maze fighting, well they were playing. "I hate this holiday". Theo laughs. "HEY PUT THAT FIRE DOWN!" a girl suddenly shouts. I turn around and before I could say anyting, the fire hits the maze. "Shit! Theo!" I shout when I see the maze starting to burn.

I would lie if I said I didn't enjoy this kind of actions. I haven't been allowed to do this kind of calls since the blackmailing incident.

The rest of the team shows up quickly and I sigh when I see Beckett. Everyone runs into the maze while I stand next to Beckett. I am not allowed to go in. But when I hear not everything is under control in the maze, I decide I have to do something. I am a firefighter for something. I am good at these calls and I won't just watch the team struggle without doing anything. I look at the ferris wheel which has the perfect height to see the whole maze. When Beckett looks away for a second, I run to the ferris wheel and start climbing up.

"Bishop get down! It's not safe!" I hear Beckett shouting. Why would he care though. I try to lead everyone their way out. Suddenly something explodes causing I almost fall but I can grab something. "AAH" I shout when I realize the ladder is to for away to go back on. "BISHOP!!!!"

I look down. At one point it was peaceful. I know when I fall, all my pain will go away. But I have a whole life here. Not now but I will get it back.

"BISHOP HANG ON!" I get woken up from my thoughts. "Ahhh". I am not gonna lie, I am scared.

Sorry I am not English! Hope you understand though and you enjoyed the first chapter <3
