"Alone Together"

"SHOULD WE BE WORRIED about more of that hill coming down?" Eddie asked as the rest of the team joined Bobby, Hen, and the battalion cheif, Miranda.

"Yeah." Bobby said. "We work quick, we work safe, we hope for the best."

"Where do you want us?" he asked Miranda.

"The hollywood sign." she said. The team looked behind them and only saw a few letters missing from the hollywood sign on the hill above them.

"Where's the rest of it?" Buck asked.

"Downhill." Miranda said. "Got word the H landed west of here. There were some hikers in the area."

"Guess they should've brought a vowel." Chim said. Rylin stifled a laugh as Hen scolded him with her eyes.

"Okay, Hen, Eddie, you're with me at the sign." Bobby said. Chimney, Rylin, Buck, you stay here and help search for survivors."

"That's punishment for bad jokes." Hen said to Chim.

"Uh, Cap, you sure you don't need more help up there?" Buck asked. "Cause I-I can help, too."

"We'll be okay, thanks for your concern, Buck." Bobby nodded as he began walking away.

"Punishment for not speaking to your best friend." Eddie said as he passed Buck.

"True that." Hen laughed as she followed behind Eddie.

After Eddie, Hen, and Bobby all went up the hill, Buck, Chim, and Rylin began searching for anyone who may need help. They all took turns shouting 'LAFD'.

"Anybody out here?" Chim shouted.

"LAFD!" Rylin shouted. Just then, Chim stopped in his tracks.

"Guys, over there."

"LAFD. Can you hear me?" Buck asked as they made their way to a man stuck under his car. Buck and Rylin tried figuring out if there was a way to get the man out whilst Chim checked on him.

"I'm not getting anything" Chim said.

Rylin and Buck sighed in disappointment. "All right. Mark it. Let's keep moving." Buck said. "Like the cheif said, there's bound to be others."

The three of them continued walking down the road, still looking for anyone who may need help. Rylin had gotten a few feet ahead of both Buck and Chim.

"Eddie's right, you know?" Chim said quietly.

"Right about what?" Buck asked.

"About how you staying down here looking for people is punishment for not speaking to Rylin." Chim told him.

"I've talked to her." Buck said.

"Really?"

"Uh-huh."

"When's the last time you spoke to her?" Chim asked.

"Yesterday."

"What'd you say?" Chim asked.

"Why are you so interested in our conversations?" Buck asked nervously.

"Just trying to see if I'm right about this." Chim shrugged with a laugh, already knowing he's right.

Buck sighed. "Okay, fine. Yesterday when we helped those people trapped in that bus, she asked if Eddie and I needed help on the roof. I basically blew her off and told her we'd be fine."
