Ella is at home with her nanny, a wonderful lady named Zuri, who has been with us since Ella turned 1
"There could be squatters inside" Severide says to dad
"We don't have long on this one" dad replies "YN make sure you and Shay are ready for smoke inhalation victims"
"Got it" I give him and nod. All I can do now is sit back and what the others work. Nervously I watch Matt run into the fire
"The smokes looking pretty bad" next thing I know Matt is walking out with an elderly man. I rush over to him and Matt helps the man sit down
"Your in good hands now. YNs the best of the best" I give Matt a little smile and place an oxygen mask over the man's head while I check for possible burns.
As Herrmann and Mills come out of the building the fire seems to get worse. Mills states that there was someone else in the building and he wants 1 more minute to get the person out. Dad calls it and we all move back just in time as the building collapses.

Unfortunately word gets out that a man died in the fire and now it's all in the news
"Happy Halloween grandad" Ella runs over to dad in her princess costume
"Happy Halloween Princess Ella. Guess what? After school I'm gonna break out a bottomless bowl of treats"
"Yay" she claps before running into the firehouse to say hi to everyone
"How are you holding up?" Dad asks
"Alright I guess" I shrug following dad inside holding Matts hand
"We will be once this is all over with"
"Momma Kelly gave me sweets"
"He did? How lucky. But let's eat them later yeah?"
"You best say by to everyone, mommas gonna take you to school" Matt says looking at the clock
"Hey, Lieutenant Casey, YN I lust
saw your car out front. Something happened to it" Niki says walking in
"Ella stay with grandad a moment" I say following Matt outside with Kelly not far behind me to see our tires slashed
"Damn it" Matt sighs
"You want me to drive Ella to school?" Kelly offers
"Please that would be amazing. I'll see if Zuri can pick her up after school and drop her off here" Kelly walks off to go and get Zuri "Matt?" I nervously say "please tell me this isn't anything to do with Voight"
"It probably some kids messing around. It's Halloween after all"
"Hope your right"

Matt ends up ringing a tow truck for the car, Severide has offered a lift home later while Zuri has picked Ella up from school and brought her to the firehouse
"Thank you Zuri"
"It's no problem I'll see you tomorrow"
"Ok let's tell uncle Kelly your here so we can go trick or treating"
"Truck 81, Ambulance 61. Man down, 3500 block of North Clarke"
"Ok I promise that as soon as I'm back we will go ok"
"Ok" Ella shrugs. I take her to niki and ask if she can watch her for a bit, which she agrees to.
Shay and I jump into the ambo and shay drives to the location. On arrival it's party central. We get out of the ambo and take the gurney out
"Halloween sucks" Shay says looking around at all the fake injuries. Thankfully Matt gets a location on the injured person and we follow him into the crowd. A man is lying on the floor shaking
"Shay take his head. Has he taken any drugs?" I ask a woman who's stood with us
"No, just a couple beers. Then all of a sudden
his eyes rolled back in his head and he dropped"
she replies 
"Does he have a history of seizures?" Shay asks as I place in an IV line
"I don't think so. But this is only our second date"
"Alright ready turn him over" I say as Cruz slides the back board under him
"Hey, let me help out, fellas.." a man in a fake fireman costume walks over
"Stay back, sir" Matt warns
"Yeah how about givin' me a C-4 tube and lidocaine drip?"
"Let them do their job" Herrmann says standing in the way of the fake fireman and me
"All right, come on! Move it out!" Matt says as Cruz and Hermann lift the man on to the gurney, Shay and I take off to the ambo.

After we arrive back at the firehouse I grab my things and finally take Ella trick or treating while Matt stays at the firehouse just for a few more hours.
