"I take it back, I'm gonna go to work then I'll go home tomorrow." Eliza said to Jay as she came back dressed in her normal clothes.
"You sure you want to go back so soon?" Jay Asked, looking at her concerned.
"I can't just sit around, I need to do something. Plus I'll be fine and it's a chance for me to talk to Logan." Eliza said shakily.
"If Your sure." Jay Said with a small reassuring smile.

"Hey, you okay?" Brett asked as she saw her partner walking up the drive a few paces infront of her.
"That questions starting to get annoying." Eliza said with a smirk.
"Sorry, you want me to hit everyone who asks you?" Brett offered.
"How many people know?" Eliza asked out of curiosity.
"Logan and Chief, I don't know who they've told." Brett answered.
"Speaking of my crazy family." Eliza said, catching the sight of their car as she opened the door.
"You want me to stay here?" Brett offered.
"No, go ahead, I'll catch up in a sec." Eliza said.
"You want a coffee?" Brett asked.
"Yes!" Eliza shouted to her.
"El!" Logan Called as he ran at her.
"Hey." Eliza said nervously.
"You okay?" Kyle asked as all four of the siblings met in the middle of the drive.
"Yeah, I'm fine." Eliza said with a smile to reassure them.
"Where is he?" Logan Asked, referring to Josh.
"Jay..." Eliza's voice drained away.
"Hey, we don't have to talk about it." Kyle said, wrapping an arm around her shoulders.
"Thanks." Eliza said with a shaky smile.
"You coming home?" Jacob asked.
"Yup, I'm guessing I've got some cleaning to do?" Eliza joked.
"Maybe..." Logan Said with a grin.
"Yay." Eliza said sarcastically.
"We best get going..." Jacob said.
"See you tomorrow." Kyle said placing a kiss in Eliza's hair making her freeze up for a second.
"Come on." Logan Said, noticing his twin pause for a second. "If you need anything today, tell me." He ordered protectively.
"Okay." Eliza said, walking towards the firehouse with her twin brother for the first time in a few weeks.
"There you go." Brett Said, handing a coffee to Eliza.
"Hey, Wheres mine?" Logan Asked, folding his arms across his chest.
"Come on, you know I prefer your sister." Brett said with a smirk.
"Yeah, but I could do with a coffee." Logan Said, walking away to the coffee machine.
"Hey, How was your little holiday?" Otis asked, innocently enough.
"It was okay, but I doubt he'll be hearing from me again." Eliza said with a shrug, watching Logan as he got ready to protect her.
"Ouch, he a snorer?" Otis asked.
"Yeah, something like that." Eliza said, her voice fading away as she reached the end of her sentence. She caught Logan's eye as if to say I'm fine before walking out to the locker room. Hearing footsteps behind her she turned around expecting to see Brett or Logan coming to make sure she was alright but instead she was met with Kidd.
"Look, just tell me if I'm overstepping but I know what bruises covered with concealer look like, it will probably get past the guys but I know it too well." Kidd Said.
"Stop, please." Eliza said, cutting her off. "Like I told Otis, I won't be talking to him again and I doubt I'll hear from him."
"I was there when Jacob told Brett he was worried about you, I can guess the gist of what happened this weekend." Kidd Said.
"He's dead." Eliza cut her off, Kidd looked at her dumbfounded. "He tried to shoot Jay so Jay shot him. Unless you believe in ghosts, he's gone."
"Eliza, I'm sorry." Kidd Said.
"Don't worry about it." Eliza said with a smile before continuing into the locker room.
"Hey." Logan Said, walking in to put his own bag away.
"Hey." Eliza said, closing her locker door and sitting on the bench to the a shoelace that had come undone.
"You handled that well." Logan Said, sitting next to her.
"Thanks." Eliza said, trying to shake away the tears that were poking at her eyes.
"Come here." Logan Said, wrapping his arms around her. "You know you don't have to be here, we can get someone to cover you?" Logan Said as Eliza wrapped her arms around him.
"I need to be doing something, when I stop..." her voice faded away into sobs.
"He's gone, and if he wasn't I would go and kill him myself." Logan Said, rubbing her back comfortingly. "At least take it easy."
"I will." Eliza said, pulling away and wiping the tears from her cheeks.
"It's good to have you back." Logan Said, patting her shoulder as he stood up.
"I know I was an idiot, pushing you guys away." Eliza began to ramble.
"It wasn't you, that psycho had a hold on you." Logan Said.
Ambulance 61, man down due to unknown causes...
"Take it easy!" Logan Called after Eliza as she left.
"Everything okay?" Brett asked, noticing the slight tears stains in her partners cheek.
"Yeah, I was just talking to Logan." Eliza said with a shrug.
"You know I really wanted to slap Otis." Brett said with a smile. "I would've done but Logan beat me to it."
"Does he suspect anything?" Eliza asked.
"You don't want people to know?" Brett asked.
"I'll tell everyone next shift, I just need some time to come to terms with everything." Eliza said, "and if you say I shouldn't be here I will crash this thing." She said cutting Brett off as soon as she opened her mouth.
"I wasn't going to." Brett lied, her hands up in mock surrender.
