The Mistress

The Texts

Penelope had been a smiling ball of sunshine all day, and her teammates wanted to know why.

"What's up with you?" Ana questioned her  reaching for the orange juice from the firehouse fridge. They had just come from a call to where a bodybuilder had become immobile due to dehydration and steroids.

Penelope looked up from her phone, still smiling.
"Nothing." She chirped, not that Ana believed her.

"Oh come on, spill." Ana pushed almost teasing her.

"Just a guy..." She trailed off trying to make it seem as if it wasn't a big deal.

Ana gasped quite loudly, "a guyyyy!" She squeaked causing Penelope to cringe.

"What's this about a guy?" Dean asked walking in

"Nothing." Penelope tried

"She's been texting a guy all day!" Ana outed, Penelope sighed and started drinking her orange juice though in her mind she was secretly trying to drown herself in it.

"Ouu, What's his name?" Dean asked a bright smile on his face

"I think he name was, None of your business, or something like that." Penelope remarked

"Dang Penny, that's cold?" Dean chuckled and her phone pinged again

Jordan
I just got out of training. How's your shift going?

And just as soon as she was about to answer the fire alarm went off. Sending him a quick text saying she'll get back to him on that, she rushed off tugging her gear on as fast as she could before hopping in the engine.

"Cap, what do we got?" Louisa asked from her spot next to Penelope

"A call from the mall apparently some guy fell in an escalator."

"He fell in it?" Penny asked for clarification

It didn't take them long to get there. Rushing to the second floor, and sure enough there was a guy trapped between the blades. Blood all over his shirt.

"He's going into shock!" Ana yelled as she grabbed a drip line and some meds to stabilize him.

"Alright guys we need to get him out of here he's losing too much blood!" The captain yelled to his team.

"Hey can you tell me your name?" Lucas asked the guy

"M-my na-name is J-James." He struggled

"Please you have to help him, he just proposed to me!" A woman from the side screamed from the arms of Travis, he was holding her back so they could work.

With the strength of four people they managed to get him out.

"BP is dropping!" Ana shouted

"Guys all his stats are bottoming out!" Penelope noticed and Louisa stepped in to help

"No please we're supposed to get married!" The girl in Travis' arms cried and Penelope went over to calm her down.

"What's your name?"

"A-Amanda."

"Nice to meet you I'm Penelope, and this nice guy holding you, that's Travis. Now I've been talking to James and I don't think he would want you over here worrying."

"I just- he just proposed to me, and I didn't even get to give him an answer."

"I'm sure that if you calm down I can work something out-"

"Guys there's too much damage his arteries have been shredded and he's gonna bleed out before we get him anywhere near a hospital, there's-" Louisa said pulling Penelope's attention
