Kayla O'Malley grew up in a family full of lifesavers. Her mom is the Chief of Police, and her dad is Fire Chief. She joined the Pinehaven Fire Department when she turned 18 and never looked back. At 23, she left Pinehaven to join the LAFD. Three ye...

Christmas is Kayla's favorite time of year. She's had her apartment decorated like a winter wonderland since after Thanksgiving but has been listening to Christmas music since November 1st. It was the one holiday that her whole family could come together. People wouldn't always be able to make it for Thanksgiving and Halloween is more of friend holiday, but Christmas is for family...and amazing Christmas parties!
Ever since Kayla moved to LA, she has thrown an awesome Christmas party for her 118 crew and family. It's something her parents used to do when she was younger but stopped after she turned 18 because of certain reasons. Now, she gets to help the kids and families she works with have amazing memories.
"So, what is this huge O'Malley Christmas party I keep hearing about, Darlin?" Eddie asks, walking up to her as she lays on the couch in the loft of the firehouse. Her eyes are taken away from her laptop to the brown ones behind her. "It's my annual Christmas party. It's something for all the crew here to get to bring their family to and enjoy being together. Team building and everything." Her face lights up in a smile as she tells him everything.
"So, when is it so Chris and I can be there?" He asks, leaning against the back of the couch. "I havent gotten the invites done yet, you will know when you get it in the mail." She winks before standing up and heading downstairs. Eddie watches as she walks away before sighing and falling back onto the couch.
Kayla just puts her laptop back in her bag when the alarm goes off in the firehouse. Quickly putting on her gear, she hops into the truck and sits across from Eddie as the crew head towards a house where a man is stuck in a package and on a plane.
"How long has he been up there?" Buck asks, the truck racing to the airport. "Plane took off from LAX 18 minutes ago. It was diverited to SoCal Airport." Bobby informs the crew as some of them finish strapping up or check their gear. "18 minutes. It's nearly long enough to reach altitude. It's not good. Cargo isn't pressuaized or heated." Eddie says, making the whole situation seem even worse.
"I thought coach was bad." Chimney tries to joke but everyone is in focus mode. "Hey, Chim, make sure we got O2 and warming blankets standing by." Bobby says to keep him on track, "Copy that." He says and the truck goes silent.
It doesn't take long for it to get to the airport and on the tarmac. Cap jumps out to look around, "Put your lights on. Let's go, Chim." Cap says as the four follow behind them as they turn on their lights.
"Come on, let's move." Cap encourages as they climbs the stairs to get in the cargo part of the plane. "Oh, joy." Chimney says sarcastically as they look to see all the identical clear wrapped boxes. "Well, it looks like we're opening presents early this year, huh?" Buck jokes before yelping when Kayla smacks on the back of the head.
"Clock is ticking, we gotta find this kid." Cap says, bringing everyone back to focus as he walks carefully through the boxes. Buck, Eddie, Chimney, and Kayla put their bags down as they start to grab essentials, "Dispatch said he was having trouble breathing even before he went up in the air."
