"No fucking way." Buck laughed as he held up a photo from a box.
"Is this you and the Captain?" He asked as Eddie grabbed a box.
"Yes, now help Eddie please. Or no milkshake." I pointed at him.
"Ugh fine." He grabbed a box.
I rolled my eyes as I grabbed my prescriptions for my depression and anxiety.
"How's the eating coming along?" Eddie asked as he walked in.
"Actually yes, I had an apple yesterday. Bobby gave me a gold star." I smiled.
"He never gives me one." Buck repiled coming in.
"Maybe because you're annoying." Buck rolled his eyes grabbing a box and left the room as Eddie laughed.
"What's so funny Diaz?" I crossed my arms.
"You two like each other, he stares at you all the time." Eddie replied.
"Shut up." I rolled my eyes picking up the last box.
"Come on, princess." I said leaving the house.







I sipped on my mega gulp as I made my way up and down the stairs bored out of my mind.
"Faye." Bobby mentioned me down the stairs.
I huffed as I made my way down to him.
"I had basically a whole slice of pizza and a apple I can..."
"It's not that." He told me.
"Oh, okay what?" I asked.
"I talked to the chief Friday after I saw what you did with that woman. He wants to hire you here." He told me.
"Really? So I'm working for you?" I asked.
"You're working with us, you'll come on calls and everything." I nodded my head.
Bobby hugged me before leaving.
"Hey." I turned to see Buck washing a car.
"Hey. We can carpool to work together now." I said.
"Fun. Are you actually going to wake up on time?" He asked.
"This is fantastic. I love it. We need to capture it all." A voice said as I turned around.
"Real life inside a firehouse. Please, God, tell me there's a Dalmatian around here somewhere." It was Taylor from the news.
I made my way to Bobby.
"Excuse me." Bobby said.
"Captain Nash, I'm Taylor Kelly. We met the other day when."
"I know who you are, Ms. Kelly. I just don't understand what you're doing here." He said as the camera man pointed the camera at us.
"Please don't film in here." Bobby said.
"Uh, why not?"
"Because it's rude." We both said.
"Oh, they didn't call you yet." Taylor said.
"Who?" We both asked again.
"Captain, Chief's office on the line." A firefighter said.
Bobby nodded walking to go answer it as I stood there.
"Who might you be?" She asked.
"Faye Nash."
"Captain Nash's daughter." I chuckled.
"No, I'm his niece. It was nice to meet you Taylor but I have something important to do."
"I bet you do." I wanted to punch her but I made my way upstairs.






I stood beside Eddie as I crossed my arms staring at Buck and Taylor.
"You're jealous." He said.
"No. I am not. Okay, maybe a little." I said.
He wrapped his arm around my waist before leaning down towards my ear.
"I'll help." I smirked.
"I can't wait to interview all of you." I felt Buck's eyes on us.
"I want to know why you chose this job, the crazy things you've seen, what it's like to face death... I mean, Howie, you almost died, right?" She asked.
"Actually, nobody calls me that. It's Chimney." He replied.
"I bet there's a story there."
"Not one you call tell on tv." He said.
"It's working." Eddie said as I smiled.
"Well, you must've really impressed the Chief. He said to give you whatever access you need." Bobby said as he looked at Eddie and I.
"Don't worry, Captain Nash, your story's in good hands... I'm going to make you all famous." She said as everyone got giggly.
"Faye, you need to get fitted for your uniform." Bobby told me.
"I'll help!" Eddie volunteered.
"No. Hen, will help her."
I gave Eddie a kiss on the cheek before Hen and I made our way to the closet.

We were all upstairs with Miss tv Personal, she kept on giving me looks every time Buck is around me, and always called him away.
"Tell us about althis." She gestured to the 'table of love'
"Oh. This is all about the love." The camera zoomed around it as Chimney pointed.
"It's, uh, tokens of appreciation from the people we serve. Baked goods are big, and cards, we love the cards." Chimney said.
"Mmm, and carbs." Buck said biting dreamly into a cupcake, as I looked disgusted.
"We love carbs. But this stuff is what really keeps us going, the love."
"You don't like them?" Taylor asked as I scoffed.
"Are you really asking me that? How self centered are you?" I snapped at her.
"Is there a problem?" Bobby asked.
"Of course there is. Little Miss TV Personal is asking why I don't like sweets. You figure out what the problem is." I snapped before making my way down the stairs.
I sat outside on a bench as Hen sat down beside me handing me a Kleenex as I wiped my eyes.
"You alright?" She asked as I shook my head.
"No. She's only being a bitch because Buck likes me, I usually don't care. But she's doing it on t.v." I sniffed.
"Well, whatever you and Diaz are doing it's working. You should've seen his face." I laughed.
"He also snapped at her after you left, before Cap could." I rested my head on her shoulder.
"I'm with Uncle Bobby on this, I don't want her here." I stood up.
"Come on, I need help stealing Buck's coke." She laughed.
"Alright." I smiled as we made our way back inside.
