Viral (V3) - 911 Lone Star

Tk's pov:

I open Instagram, and the first thing I see is... "So, I guess the AFD is allowing druggies to be paramedics. #firedruggie" with a picture of.. me!? No, no, no.. everyone knows now.. who would do this.. this can't be happening.. this really can't.. my thought is cut off by the alarm. It's a paramedic call. We get there, and I'm helping the lady. "Get him away from me! I don't want him working on me!" She yells. I get in the driver seat. "No! Don't let him drive!" She yells. "Nancy, drive," Tommy says. I get in the passenger seat. This can't be happening..

Nancy's pov:

We get back to the firehouse. "Okay, what happened back there?" I ask. Tk doesn't answer. He walks into the gym. Me and Tommy look at each other.

Tk's pov:

I start punching the punching bag. I'm so angry I don't wrap my hands. It's gonna happen again. I'll have to switch departments again. Nobody's gonna trust me once they find out.. maybe I should just quit.. these people are like my family.. but I have to.. but what about Carlos.. they'll be harassing him, too.. I.. he's the love of my life.. but.. they'll be harassing him for being with me..

Owen's pov:

They tell me about what happened. "Thanks for telling me," I say. It's weird. Mateo marches into my office, "Cap, I found this in the gym," he hands me a piece of paper. I open it and read.
"Hey guys.. this isn't exactly how I wanted this to go.. but um.. if you haven't seen it, go on Instagram and look at #firedruggie.. nobody's gonna trust me with their life now they all know.. so.. I'm quitting.. you guys are like my whole family.. somehow, I'll get a job somewhere.. and who knows, I'll see you again.. Bye guys.. Tk Strand." I read.
"What!?" Marjan yells. We all jump. "Where the heck did you guys come from?" Nancy asks. "Well, we came because we saw Tk leaving," Marjan says. I open Instagram. "Oh my.." I drop my phone in shock. They pick it up and look at it. "Oh my gosh..." they all say. Knowing him.. he's going to leave Carlos a note and move as far away from here as he can.. he's not gonna know anyone, and he's not going to have anyone to help stop him from.. a tough on my shoulder snaps me out of my trance. "Okay, I'm going to go find him," Marjan says. "You can finish the shift. I'll text you updates when I can," she says. "Okay, thank you," I say. "Yup," she says, running out. "Someone should tell him.." Paul says. "I know.. I will.." I say, dialing Carlos's number.

Tk's pov:

I'm writing out the note to Carlos. I'm shaking. I don't want to leave.. but it's better for everyone.. I start crying.. no, no stop.. I wipe my eyes.. I look back at the loft that I've spent the best few years of my life in.. with my friends.. my family.. my.. love.. I walk out the door and go to my car. I don't know where I'm going. But I need to get out as fast as possible.

I stop at a gas station near the loft. I go inside to get a drink, snacks, and pay for gas. I walk back out to my car. "So, are you gonna drink that?" A lady asks. I look down at the beer in my hand. "I mean.. I'm not sure.." I say. "Yeah well its not a good idea," she says. "Why's that?" I ask, pumping gas. "It won't just be that one," she says. "Huh?" I ask. "It starts with a beer. Then a pack. Then you want stronger stuff. I'm sure you know what comes next," she says. How does she know... "Okay.." I say. "You know. There is one thing I wanna say before you leave," she says. "What's that?" I ask. "We'll miss you.. Tk.." the lady says, sounding like she's about to cry. "How do you know my name?" I ask. "I might've followed you.." She says. I see her. It's Marjan. I get in the car. "Goodbye. Tell them I love them," I say, driving away.

A while later, I'm speeding down the highway. I get pulled over. "You were going 110 in a 70," the female says. "I need you to step out of the car," she says. "Why?" I ask. "Because you have a few empty beer cans in your car," she says. I get out. "I just bought it," I say. She feels me down. "Take this," she says, handing me a breathalyzer test. I breathe in it. "You know we're going to have to arrest you for DUI," she says. I sigh and get in the back of the car. "So what is it?" The male cop asks. "DUI," she says. We start driving. "You okay?" She asks the guy. "How can I be okay?" He says. "So what are you going to do after shift?" She asks. "I'm going to look for Tk. What do you think?" He says. "How are you gonna find him?" She asks. "I don't know.. but.. I have to try.. he's the love of my life.." he says. "What about the whole Instagram situation?" She asks. "I don't care about it. I love him no matter what happens, and I wish I could tell him that right now," he says.

Carlos's pov:

I start to hear crying. "Why do I hear crying?" I ask, as I park. I get out and open the back door. "Come on, inside," I say. The guy gets up and starts walking. "We're gonna need you to take off your hood," I say. "I'm sorry," he says. "What?" I ask. "That you have to see this.. side of me.." he says. I realize. Everything I said, he heard. I look at my partner, who just gives me a smile. She knew it was him the whole time. That's why she asked me the questions.. we walk into the station. "It's okay," I say. He takes off his hood. Patches of hair are missing. His eyes are red from crying. And the smell of beer is very strong. "You do know you still have to get a ticket and the DUI," I ask. "Yeah, I know," he says, sitting in the cell. "You want me to call them?" I ask. He looks down. "Yea.. just tell them to come down to the station.. I wanna be able to tell them myself.." he says. "Okay," I say. I call Marjan first since I know she's the only one off shift right now. "Can you come down to the station? And tell the others to when shift ends?" I say. "Yeah, sure," she says. A little while later, she walks in. "They have half an hour left of shift," she says. "Okay," I say. "Um.. I'm gonna wait until they all get here.." I say.

"Do you want to see all of them or just your dad first?" I ask. "Just dad.." he says. "Okay,"

Owen's pov:

"I just need Owen right now," Carlos says. I immediately realize. "You guys stay here," I say. Everyone agrees, and he takes me to the cell. He's missing patches of hair, he's been crying, and the smell of beer is strong. Carlos unlocks the door. Tk looks up at me. "Hey," I say. He jumps up and hugs me. "I know.." I say, rubbing his back. "I'm sorry. I'm so sorry," he says. "Don't apologize. You just wanted to protect us. But who's gonna protect you?" I say. "Is everyone out there?" He asks. "Yeah," I say. Another cop comes in. "Your ticket and DUI have been paid in full," he says. "What?" I ask. "Yeah, some lady named.. Grace paid it," he says. We all look at each other. "She's gonna murder Judd," Tk says. "Oh definitely," I say. He takes a deep breath, and we walk out to the front of the station. "Hey guys..." he says. Everyone runs over and hugs him. They all let go. "She's gonna kill you, Judd," he says. "I know.." he says with a nervous laugh. His phone rings. He answers it and puts it on speaker. "Hey honey," he says. "What did you do?" She asks. "Um.. Tk got a DUI and Ticket, and um.." he says. "Hi!" Marjan says. "Hi everyone. Is he okay, though?" She asks. "Yeah, I'm fine, I guess," Tk says. "That's good. We're gonna have a talk when you get home, sir," she says, hanging up. He looks a little scared. "You're scared of her?" Paul asks. "Have you met her?" Carlos says. We all start laughing.
