"Buck." Hen said, making Buck jolt awake. "Wake up. We're here."

"Oh, we are?" he asked as he opened the door of the firetruck. The team had been called to Texas to help with the wiledfires.

When the team exited the truck, they were met by smokey air. "Ooh! What's up with the air?" Buck asked.

"Wildfire, remember?" Hen asked. "That's why we're here."

"I mean the way it feels." Buck said. "It's like getting slapped with a wet towel."

"It's called humility." Eddie said with a smile. "Welcome to Texas, Buck."

"You'll get used to it." Rylin said as she hopped out of the truck.

"I'm Deputy Cheif De Leon of the San Angelo Fire Department, acting incident commander. For those of you just joining the party, welcome."

"Buck, stop staring." Hen told Buck. Rylin followed his gaze. She smiled once she saw the team she'd met almost a year ago during her last visit to Texas.

"I'm not staring." he said.

"You're staring." Eddie said.

"I want to introduce my operations section cheif, Captain Owen Strand of Austin."

"The thing we were praying wouldn't halpen has happened." Owen said. "The wind has shifted. This fire's now on a collision course with the city of San Angelo. There's a possibility of weather coming in, but we can't rely in it, and we won't. We have one last shit to turn the tide."

Owen then continued to explain how they could stop the fires. "Here. On Copper Ridge. We cut a containment line here, and we can stop this beast in its tracks."

"I know you're exhausted. A lot of you haven't had more than a couple hours of sleep in days. But on behalf of the city of San Angelo and their 120,000 souls, we're gonna get you up on that fire line and you are gonna cut like hell."

"Good luck. Stay safe." he finished.

"Buck. Seriously?" Hen asked once she realized he was still staring at the team beside them. "Please don't make me report you to HR."

"No, no, I swear I know her from somewhere." Buck defended. "It's killing me."

"Sorry about my friend, Marj." Rylin told her. She made sure to raise her voice so Buck would become embarrassed.

Marjan's face lit up once she saw Rylin's face. "Oh, my God. I didn't even know you were here." she exclaimed as she wrapped her arms around Rylin.

"Couldn't let you guys have all then fun." Rylin laughed. Tk greeted her with a hug with her along with the rest of the 126.

"How does she know them?" Buck asked as he watched Rylin and the 126 converse for a moment.

"That's the team she met the last time she came here." Eddie told him.
