"We still on for coffee?" Brett asked as they walked out of the firehouse after the twins first shift.
"Yeah, I'll meet you at your car I've just got to tell Kyle." Eliza said, spotting the family car and making her way over. "Hey." She Said inti the open drivers window.
"Hey, you not getting in?" Kyle asked.
"I'm going for a coffee with Brett, just thought I'd ditch my bag here." Eliza said.
"You got your key cause you know Logan will lock you out and fall asleep?" He asked.
"Yep, I'll come pick you up after work." Eliza said, turning to walk away.
"Thanks." Kyle called after her as she walked away.

"So where shall we start?" Eliza asked, wrapping her hands around the cup of coffee.
"Start with the basics." Brett said.
"Okay, Kyles the oldest he's the cop who had a gun to his head earlier, then it's Jacob who's the doctor, then me and Logan. We're all four years apart." Eliza said. "We had a pretty boring normal life until about 18 years ago when Kyle was 18, Jacob was 14 and we were 10." She paused. "If I tell you this you can't act weird around any of them."
"I promise." Brett swore.
"Our parents walked out in us leaving Ky with three adoption forms that he signed." Eliza said.
"That's why you're all so close." Brett said.
"Yeah, we sort of formed a mini family. I was the mother figure, Ky was the dad, Jacob was the quiet one and Logan was the crazy one." She Said with a smile. "Then as we've grown up we've all stayed close, I still make sure they're all eating properly, Ky is still overprotective, Jacobs less calm but still."
"What would you do if your parents came back now?" Brett asked.
"We'd probably all take a turn at beating the crap out of them." She Said honestly. "That's why at the hospital Kyles first move was to check on us and why I told them not to have take out." She Said with a laugh.
"So you guys still live together?" Brett said.
"Yep, most people think I'm crazy for living with my three brothers but we all depend on each other. I can't count how many times I've had to stop Kyle doing something stupid or they've pulled me back out of the rabbit hole." Eliza said.

"Hey!" Eliza called as she dropped her keys into the small dish they kept by the door.
"Sleeping. Just. Worked. 24. Hours." Logans voice could be heard from up the stairs.
"Well I had like twice as many calls as you!" She shouted back as she went up the stairs. After setting her alarm for lunch time, which was a few hours away, she dropped into bed.

Eliza woke up to Logan calling her name from downstairs, instinctively she reached for her phone to check the time, when she couldn't find it she got up and went downstairs. "You made me lunch? Are you feeling alright?" She joked, spotting her phone on the table. "Why is.."
"I knew you'd have set an alarm." He cut her off. "Plus I've made you lunch before."
"Yeah like once when I  was off ill and I'm pretty sure you gave me food poisoning." Eliza said with a laugh.
"We were like 11 then." He protested. "What about the other times, like on Mother's Day?"
"Ky and Jake helped with that." Eliza said with a laugh. "What you making anyway?"
"Ham and tomato wraps." He answered. "I was thinking we could stick on an episode of a tv program and have a chill afternoon, then you can go pick up J and Ky and we'll go over to that Mollys place all the guys at work we're on about, test out the Chambers effect." He offered.
"Sounds like a plan." Eliza said, grabbing her plate and heading for the couch.

"You fancy pranking some people tonight?" Logan Asked, as all the siblings sat around the table eating their dinner.
"The classic Chambers prank?" Eliza said with a laugh.
"Why not." Kyle agreed. "Any particular targets in mind?"
"How about the guys on truck?" Eliza said to Logan.
"Yeah, just not the captain because he really doesn't like us." Logan agreed.
"Why?" Kyle said, protectively.
"I heard that Els filling his ex wife's spot." Logan shrugged.
"We're fine, everyone else is really nice." Eliza said, to calm him down.
"Alright then, let's do this." Jacob said with a laugh.

"Hey." Eliza said, walking over to where Otis, Kidd, Herrmann and Cruz were gathered on opposite sides of the bar.
"Welcome to Mollys, what can I get you?" Herrmann Said.
"Just a lemonade for me, Logan's got me driving." Eliza said.
"Where is he?" Otis asked.
"On his way in I think, do you guys know where Brett is?" She asked, taking her drink from Herrmann.
"Right over there." Kidd said, gesturing to a table with Brett, the guy who shot Kyle and another guy.
"Hey." She Said, as she reached the table.
"Hey, Eliza right?" Jay said, as she sat in the chair next to him.
"Yep." She Said.
"This is Antonio, Antonio this is.." Jay began to introduce.
"I'm gonna guess Chambers sister because they look the exact same." Dawson cut him off.
"That is correct." Eliza said with a laugh. "You guys want to see something funny?" She asked before quickly sending off a text.
"What is it?" Jay asked.
"Watch the bar." She hinted.
"Hey Logan, what can I get you?" Kidd offered.
"Just a beer thanks." Logan Replied. "I'm just gonna talk to my sister for a sec, I'll be right back." He Said before disappearing into the bathroom. A few seconds later the front door opened and a different sibling walked in.
"Thanks." Jacob said to Herrmann before taking the drink off of the counter and heading to the table where Eliza was sat, putting it down and heading into the bathroom.
"What's going off?" Antonio asked as Brett and Jay erupted into laughter as the final sibling walked in, sat down at their table and started drinking the drink.
"Hey Kyle." Antonio said, recognising the guy from work. "How did you do that?"
"He doesn't know?" Kyle asked Eliza.
"Nope, no clue." She Said, trying not to laugh.
"Hey um where's my drink?" Logan Asked Otis and Cruz.
"You came and got it and took it over there." Otis said, turning and pointing to the table. "Hold up." He Said looking from Logan to Kyle and back again when Jacob came out of the toilets and started having a go at Kyle for drinking his drink.
"Right, am I seeing straight?" Cruz asked as all four siblings plus Brett and Jay laughed their heads off.
"That's called the chambers effect." Logan Said between laughs. "Kidd can I get two more beers please?"
"Yep." She said looking up and spotting the other two. "Are you quadruplets?"
"Nope, four years apart." Logan Said still laughing. Once he had got the beers he headed over to the table where Antonio was struggling to get his head around it.
"That's Kyle who you work with, that's Jacob the doctor and that's Logan the firefighter." Jay explained, patronisingly slow.
