Chapter 4

Bobby braided my hair as we sat upstairs until we heard footsteps.
"Oh God." I mumbled.
"Captain Nash." Taylor asked.
"Can we have a few minutes with you?"
"Um..."
"Attention, Station 118. Engine and rescue. Got a report of adult male, difficulty breathing." I smirked at Taylor as we ran down the stairs to the trucks.

Eddie helped me out of the truck as we made our way over.
"I was told there's a man here who's choking to death?" Bobby asked a lady.
"No, uh, Gregory says he doesn't want any help now." She said.
"Okay, excuse me, ma'am." We moved past her.
"How many he put down." I looked disgusted yet again.
"Joey chestnut scarfed down 74 hot dogs in ten minutes at last year's Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest."
"Excuse me, sir, are you refusing care?" I asked him.
Something hissed making me jump as I saw a reptilian.
"Bloody hell!" I held my chest.
"Whoa." Eddie said pushing me behind him.
"That's Claude." the woman said.
"He's the grand prize." The guy groaned.
"Whoa, guys, guys. Get them in." Bobby said.
"Give us some room. Get this table and chairs out of here!"
"That means you guys, too. Give them some room! Back up!" I yelled at the two.
"Prep the defib."
"Airways are sealing up. I need the BBM."
"What's this, like, a pepper eating contest?" Chimney asked.
"No. Protein." We looked at the table to see bugs and people eating bugs.
"His pulse is thready." The man coughed as bugs came out.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa."
"Locusts!"
"Oh, whoa."
"No, they're actually crickets. Ws allowed anything that Claude would eat. We thought it might be fine." She said.
"His pulse is weakening!" Chimney yelled.
"He's in V-fib. He's coding!"
"Starting compressions." Chimney started pumping on his chest.
"Damn it! the blockage is too big. He's not getting any air.
"Let me try something!" I said as I went up beside Gregory.
I lifted my foot up.
"Faye what are you?" I stomped my foot down on his chest as I heard a bone snap.
"BLOODY HELL!" I screamed, I've broken my foot.
"Good job, Faye... Are you okay?" Buck asked.
"No, I think I broke my ankle." I said as Hen studied it.
"Ow!" I said.
"Yup, you broke it... Come on, you're both going to the hospital." I rolled my eyes looking at Buck.
"I'll pick you up from Athena's after."
"Okay." He kissed my forehead as Hen helped me up.

       I sat in the kitchen at Athena's house, slowly eating my corn, my ankle was killing me.
"I don't like cameras in the firehouse. I certainly don't like them on calls.... Makes it harder for us to do our job." Bobby said.
"Well, unfortunately, that's the reality nowadays... Cameras everywhere, body cams, phone cameras, CCTVs. Big brother is definitely watching." Athena said.
"I'm more worried about little sister." Bobby and I both replied.
"Are you gonna be on TV?" Harry asked us.
"Not if I can help it." I repiled.
"Doesn't May like short ribs?"
"Well, it might have something to do with that story you told at mealtime." Athena said.
"No, she's on a stupid diet." Harry said as I looked up.
"Still? I told her she did not need to do that." Athena shook her head.
"Why is May on a diet?" Bobby asked.
"Homecoming. Her first, dress search was epic." Athena said happily.
"Okay." A voice said.
"Tell me what you think?" May stepped out in a dress as the door bell rang.
"It's Buck, you look beautiful May." I kissed her cheek before heading out.
I opened the door and smiled as Buck stood there.
"Hey Hero, how's the ankle?" He asked.
"Good." I shut the door behind me.
"I don't have to use crutches, that's a win." I said as I limped to the jeep.
Buck opened the door for me as I got in and he ran to the other side.
He pulled out of the drive way as I shifted in my seat.
"Did you eat dinner?" I nodded.
"I had half a rib, half a bowl of corn, and a mouthful of mashed potatoes." I said.
"I-I'm proud of you, Faye." I smiled.
"Thanks, fainting at work opened my eyes. In the past two weeks, I've eating almost two full meals." I said.
"Well, I'm happy." Buck said as I yawned.
"Can you wake me up when we get home?" He nodded as I closed my eyes.
