El arrived on scene with the rest of the 118, already feeling aggravated by just the first female. She trailed behind Buck and Eddie as they cleared a path, gawks and comments being thrown their way. "Okay guys, the strippers are here" One of the girls stated which queued a dramatic eye roll from El.
Feeling annoyed, El practically barged her way through the girls, them all wanting to throw themselves at the boys, in particular Eddie and Buck. They made it outside only to be met with a girl on all fours, her head stuck in a tailpipe of a car.
"Hi, what's her name?" Chimney asked.
"Betty" The guy spoke as he stroked his car.
"Jennifer" The girl's voice echoed through the wipe.
"Sorry, I thought you meant my truck" The guy spoke which caused another eye roll from El. Men.
While the group continued to talk, El made her way into the floor, taking a look at the tailpipe and how they were going to get her out. Buck handed her a tape measure which she used to measure the length of the tailpipe. El slid back out from under the truck "These things are meant to increase the power to the engine. Somehow they're legal" El spoke, looking back at the girl with genuine disarray.
"TSA 230 saw should do the job" Bobby spoke with a smirk.
"Oh yeah, like a knife through butter" Buck commented, he too smirking.
"I call shotgun" El grinned at them both, desperately wanting to amuse herself.
"Chim?" Bobby called.
"Way ahead of you Cap" Chimney spoke, handing over the saw.
"What?! No, I spent 1'200 bucks on that tailpipe" The man protested.
El pouted at the man "Shame" She spoke sarcastically, "Maybe next time just talk to the girl" She grabbed the saw and revved it before going back down onto the mechanical creeper.
"Just type your number in my phone and I'll text you so you have mine" One of the girls spoke to Buck.
"Thanks, but I actually have a girlfriend and I need to focus right so my colleague doesn't cut your friend's head off and trust me, she'd love too" Buck spoke to the girl, gesturing down to El who gave a smile and a wave before revving the saw once more and laying down.
"You sure you got this Rhodes?" Bobby asked as he knelt down to watch her.
"Piece of cake cap" She smirked and pulled her visor down.
"Do we need to be concerned about how excited she is to do this?" Eddie asked, turning to Buck, seeing as though they seemed to be the closest.
"Nah, that's just El" Buck smirked with a soft chuckle before the saw began to whirl, grinding filling the air as she began to cut into the tailpipe.
With a grin on her face, El sliced through the tailpipe, just like Buck had said it was like a knife in butter. "Almost there" El called, her eyes darting for just a second to see Eddie and Buck peering under, watching her. El slid back out on the creeper, a grin still on her face however it dropped to disgust when one of the girls said she had lube in her bag. "And that's put me off lunch" El spoke to Chimney.
"This whole ordeal has put me off lunch" Chimney rebutted, watching as Hen, Eddie and Buck started to remove the tailpipe that was attached to the girls head.
El began to walk off, getting too cringed out by the girls and their drunken behaviour. She stipped off her jacket and threw it over her shoulder, the two boys just behind her. "You live in your ex-girlfriend's house and you're telling Eddie about weak excuses?" El joined in their conversation about the girls, a sly smirk on her face.
