Stellaride behind the flames

Doing this on my own

Stella's pov: the past couple weeks has been super crazy first with the arsonist who was targeting the firehouse firehouse 17 went to then trying to get my stubborn husband to understand when he left it didn't just affect me. It also affected his friendship with his fellow squad. Member Joe Cruz but eventually everything worked out. They are finally on a better understanding, especially since Kelly had to leave again to help solve an arson case in Arizona at first I wasn't liking that he might be leaving again, but after some thinking and talking with Kelly, I was fine with him leaving again as long as he came back home and has been about two weeks since he has been gone it's been kind of lonely, but luckily he texted me every day and he calls me every chance he gets right now I'm at work getting breakfast

S= oh solid breakfast choice Gibson
DG= first time up at the quail Gotta bring my a-game
V= so how has it been without severide are you sick of the property brothers yet
S= never uh it's fine you know we've been texting a bunch talking every night
V= but
S= uh it's just um he's been kicking around this idea of moving to OFI full-time at some point you know when he's ready for the next chapter and I'm all about it. Of course it's way less dangerous. He wouldn't have to travel. He's still in the CFD family.
V= yeah, I mean I can totally see severide running OFI
S= I mean it would be amazing but I am I'm getting ahead of myself I mean he's not even home yet

Before I say anymore, or even eat my food Brett walk in with Julia so I grab her and spend a few seconds with my goddaughter till the bells go off so me and Chuck head off to a call when we arrive on scene it's a small little fire in the garage that we were able to put out, but then we found a little girl hiding out

S= hi what you doing down here
HA= is it gone?
HM= Harper oh my God come here what are you doing out here?
HA= I thought you were in the basement playing Minecraft
HA= I didn't like you yelling on the phone
S= hey Harper hey my name is Stella.
HA= are you a real firefighter?
S= yeah and that was a big fire out here huh now. Do you have any idea how it might have started?
HM= no don't do that come on she's obviously upset this could have been a freak accident. I mean this is over 100 years old Harper come on let's get you inside.
HA= bye Stella
DG= I'm guessing it started here looks like old dried up yard waste
M= wouldn't have much to get that going
S= yeah but it takes
SC= you think the little girl did it
S= she was the only one back here, and the mom was acting pretty shady about the whole thing right
H= Ah probably just didn't want her kid in trouble. Cindy would have gone all mom bear on you too probably
DR= yeah but how many of your kids started a fire like this?
H= all right are you kidding me all of them Annabelle nearly burnt down a treehouse and none of them went to jail yet all right, so what do you say you want to wash this down and get out of here
S= yeah yeah okay
H= okay

Both truck and engine wash down the area, then pack up and head back to the firehouse but something didn't seem right later on at the firehouse I'm having my guys run drills as a watch, but I'm also watching Brett and baby Julia

SC= lieutenant
S= yes one man forced outward side hey Mouch you saw all that burnt hole on the girls sleeve right
M= yeah, that big puffy jacket probably saved her a trip to the burn ward
S= well that's what bugging me actually is it didn't look like that whole happened today? Did you notice how the fabric was fed and how the inside batted was all dirty it would have took a while for it to get like that.
SC= so you think the garage wasn't the first time she did something like this
DG= I don't know girl fire bugs are pretty where that's what they taught us at the Academy anyways
SC= I heard a call one time where a 17-year-old girl said her boyfriend's car on fire right in the school parking lot
S= there's gotta be some clever way that we can see if the garage fire was just an isolated incident right
DG= there's a bunch of ways , next-door citizen, one roof , ( pulls out his phone) whoa
S= what
DG= well, according to this, there's been three small fires within two blocks of the girls house the past month
SC= that can't be a coincidence
DG= one happened last week two doors down
