Lights and Sirens

Shots from an Angel

"Gabby, have you got eyes on Jason?!" Antonio yelled through the phone as Matt and Gabby ran across the park at Navy Pier.

They had chased Jason all around the city and now that they got to the location he had disappeared into the crowd. Antonio, Lindsay, Halsted, Voight, Olinsky, Ruzek, Atwater, Burgess, Gabby and Matt all fanned out around the area working in twos. 

"No, have you?" She asked, her phone still pressed to her ear as she frantically searched the crowd for Jason.

"No. What was he wearing?" Voight demanded as his voice came through the speaker.

"White t-shirt, Blue pants and a Blackhawks cap." Gabby said still scanning the crowd, then she saw him. "Matt we gotta go!" She yelled as she started to run. "Guys, he is heading east up the pier!"

"I thought Jason was dead." Capp said as the guys chatted in the truck bays.

They were busy cleaning and flushing the hoses, washing the trucks and sweeping the floor.

"Yea, thats what PD thought to!" Herrmann replied. "That's all that they need. I mean imagine if your ex-girlfriend came back and kept trying to kill your new girlfriend!" he joked.

"I don't have a girlfriend." Capp replied a little confused.

"It was just an example, god!" 

Everyone started to laugh, then Boden walked in. 

"Chief, is there an update?" Severide asked standing up from changing the blade on one of the saws.

"No not yet but i did just get off the phone with Sergeant Platt. Mouch, she wants to talk to you immediately, - something about a suit being delivered to the district, she seemed pretty mad." Boden said with a little smile spreading across his face, meanwhile Mouch's face getting redder by the second.

"What's the suit for Mouchy Mouch!?!" Cruz joked making everyone laugh.

"I...I...Its...Its nothing really.." He replied quickly making his way into the firehouse to get his house.

"I hope Gabby and Matt are ok." Severide spoke, not looking up from his screwdriver. "I mean they have taken a hard hitting these past few months and i think that it is getting to Matt more than it is Gabby.."

"Yea, i have to agree. He looks worn out." Herrmann agreed.

Then suddenly Boden's work cell rang, he picked it up.

"This is chief Boden." He answered.

"Hi Chief, i just wanted to tell you that we have had a word with headquarters about your situation at 51. From what we understand is that your Truck lieutenant, Matthew Casey, was kidnapped and himself and his fiance, Gabriela Dawson, also a worker at your firehouse had to leave unexpectedly today."

"That's true" Boden agreed with a stern look on his face.

"Ok, well we have come to a conclusion and because 81 is unmanned, from what we understand you have Randy McHolland, Joe Cruz and Chris Herrmann on there we are sending over your new candidate now. We would request that you get Chris to fill in as acting lieutenant until Casey comes back to work." The man on the phone stated.

"That's fine. When will the new candidate be here?" Boden asked making everyone look up.

"He will be down in an hour. I expect he will want to introduce himself when he arrives."

"Thank you." Boden finished before hanging up the phone and returning it to his pocket. "Herrmann, until Casey gets back you're going to be acting lieutenant. Also, as you probably heard, our new candidate is coming earlier than expected. Due to the situation that Matt and Gabby are in they have decided to bring the new candidate in earlier so truck has always got 4+ men on board."
