The next morning,

Sam and Penny arrived at the Fire Station alongside Arnold and Ellie. Ellie had been in hot water for her trouble with Station Officer Steele and the FBI. The next shift was about to start for them. News about a fire in Chicago was Spreading from across the United States. The Firefighters arrived and Arnold arrived before catching up to Sam and Penny.

"Hey... Sam. Penny. Wait up!" Arnold called.

"What's up, Arnold?"

"Heard about a Massive Fire in Chicago. Didn't hear anything else because I fell asleep."

"Watching the news again. Huh?"

"Yeah."

"Hey. Did you all hear a Code Zero Last Week?" Ellie asked.

"We did, Ellie. What was all that about?"

"If you must know, Sam... Unidentified Men showed up towards Malcolm and Rose. Turns out they were looking for someone."

"What for?"

"My guess... National Crimes."

"I'm sure, Malcolm would tell us. Penny and I have a meeting Later. Malcolm, Penny, and I are meeting with a Rabbi from the Jewish Community to discuss our wedding. We may need some... Witnesses. I've asked Penny if she could invite her cousin."

"My cousin is on a flight right now from Dublin to London and then taking the train to Cardiff before driving to Pontypandy."

"Wait... Your cousin Annie is flying in?"

"Yeah."

"I see. What about your mum and dad?"

"Hadn't heard from them."

"My parents are coming over, Penny."

"I know, Sam. You told me that."

As the Firefighters got ready for their shift,

Station Officer Steele had them arrive for a morning briefing. He carried a Firefighter's Boot into the briefing room with his duty roster. He was not in a happy mood after he got a call from their friends in the USA. He had heard the news which the Firefighters were unaware of. Arnold knew what the fire was but he didn't know the rest of it since he fell asleep before the morning arrived. "Ok... Morning Firefighters.  Roll call at 08:00 hours. Right... Let's see... Firefighter Reid!" He called

"Sir!"

"Firefighter Mooney!"

"Sir!" Frank answered.

"Firefighter McKinley!" Steele announced.

"Here, sir!" Arnold replied.

"Firefighter Myers!"

"Sir!" Remarked Jade.

"Firefighter Phillips!"

"Sir!" Replied Ellie.

"Leading Firefighter Cridlington!"

"Sir!" Elvis chimed.

"Leading Firefighter Morris!"

"Sir!" Penny replied.

"Leading Firefighter Jones!"

"Sir!" Answered Sam.

Their Station Officer Steele watched as the Firefighters took their seats once they finished roll call. "Right... I see you are all ready to begin another shift... Uh... Ok... FIrefighter Morris and Firefighter Phillips will be assigned to Fire Ambulance 1... Sam and Elvis on Jupiter... Arnold and Jade are assigned to Venus... and Frank and Sally are assigned to Phoenix. Alright. There was a report of PDA Misconduct within the Fire Service and I want everyone to know that Public Display of Affection is frowned upon and not allowed while on duty. Anyone who is in a current relationship with a Member of this Fire Service should disclose that to the South Wales Fire and Rescue Service HQ." He announced.
