BG= Blake Gallo

General pov: it was the new guy Blake Gallo's first day at firehouse 51 it also was Sylvie's first day back at work. As she walks onto the apparatus floor she sees Herman she tries to get his attention it doesn't work and he walks away into the fire house so she follows to see if she can catch him or find anybody else to sa hi to but nobody was allowed besides Mouch who was  asleep on his couch, went all the sudden everybody jumped up or from somewhere and said welcome back.


Kelly's pov: last shift the chief had me and Matt look at a list of people that are nominees to go to this leadership conference next week I just got done looking through the list and so I go and find the chief and he is working with one of the tech guys on a new technology in the firehouse so I interrupt to tell him what I think

K= hey cheif
CB= yeah .... excuse me
K= looked over the names you gave me last year nominees for that leadership conference in Springfield
CB= and
K= well some of the city's best on here all solid smoke eaters can't go wrong with any of them
CB= but nobody stands out
K= uh CFD's  Full of power hitters but natural leaders those are hard to find
CB= thank you
K= yeah

Kelly walks away and the chief looks in the distance and see Stella showing the new guy around and he starts to think

Stella's pov: it was the new guys first day so I decided to be the one to show him around the firehouse and tell him how everything works on here and how everybody acts around here right now we are heading in the locker room and I happen to see Joe.

S= ah hey Gallo this is Joe Cruz
BG= hey great to meet you uh huge opportunity working next to the best rescue squad in Chicago
CZ= this you ( points to the locker)
BG= yeah
CZ= not this one you can pick any other locker you want but this one is off-limits
( joe walks away)
BG= belongs to Otis
S= yeah
BG= dammit should've thought to ask
S= there are going to be some bumps Gallo  my advice always, refill the coffee, never take Mouch spot, be responsible for your tools and don't take things personally
BG= copy that

I left the locker room to let Gallo  choose his locker since he can't have the one that belongs to owners why I go work on something that I think needs to be done for truck. Once I'm done with it I go to the Chiefs office to hand it to him
( knocks on the door)
S= am I interrupting something
CB= not in the slightest
S= just wanted to drop off some equipment request drill supplies to help Gallo get some time in with the team
CB= Casey asked for this
S= no I just figured I had a good sense of where we need to work fitting Gallo in and this will help so that we're not stumbling into each other on calls
CB= so this was your idea
S= yeah but I cleared it with Casey
CB= no no no no that's good it shows good initiative
S= oh thanks chief ( Stella starts to walk out of his office)
CB= before you leave um
S= mm-hmmm
CB= Springfield training grounds next week IAFF they are hosting an event for future fire service leaders and I would be very grateful if you represented our district
S= me!

CB= if you're willing
S= I am sure uh but severide or Casey..,
CB= they already have experience you show great potential it would mean a great deal to me
S= of coarse chief yeah
CB= yes
S= yes
CB= then I'll handle all the details
S= OK all right all right

I walk away from his office beyond shocked that he thought of me to be going to this leadership conference because I don't see how I am a leader in anything all I did was fill out something that I thought that needed to be done for truck 81 to help the new guy. I start walking back to my bed when Kelly sees from his office and  calls out to me
