"HEY! ANY OF you guys know John Pritchard, or were you all too young?" Hermann asked as he flushed the fire hydrant.
Everyone else on truck was standing around. "He was gone before I came on, but I heard stories," Casey answered.
"Piece of work, that one," Mouch stated.
"What, he died or something?" Otis asked. Melisa wasn't sure who they were talking about. She had never heard of the guy.
"Yeah," Hermann replied. "You know, Boden, Mouch, and me, we all knew him back in the day. He must have been twenty years older than Boden if that tells you anything."
"What did he die of?" Melisa inquired.
"Old man stuff. I don't know." They chuckled at Hermann's response. "Funeral is tomorrow up at Grayslake."
"Are you guys going?"
"Yeah, I guess, you know? We should pay our respects."
Casey stepped forward. "All right. Hydrant's good to go." Hermann turned it off. Peter was left to put the outlets back on as the rest kept going.
"By the way," Mouch said before switching to another language. No one understood what he said.
Otis frowned. "What the hell's that?"
"You bet me I couldn't say a sentence in Japanese. I just said one. You owe me twenty bucks."
Melisa and Cruz were walking behind them and were listing to their conversation. "Okay, A, I don't remember that," Otis stated. "And, B, how do I know you're just not speaking gibberish?"
"It's a sentence."
"What's it mean?"
"Pat me twenty bucks, I'll tell you."
"Ridiculous. You tell me and—"
"Help!" Otis was cut off by a kid yelling out to them. "Help!" He was frantically waving them over. He looked scared and panicked.
The firefighters dropped everything and ran after the kid to see what was happening. They followed him to a building. "He fell!" He told them as they reached the entrance.
They ran into the building. "We were playing hide and seek upstairs," the kid explained.
Casey grabbed a flashlight and looked into the chute. His eyes landed on the kid that was stuck. "Hang on," he told the kid. "We're coming."
