Brett, Foster, and Kidd were all walking out of the firehouse laughing when it happened. It was so unexpected that Brett stood there shocked for five minutes.
"What just happened?" Asked Brett to no one in particular.
Kidd and Foster just stood there not knowing what to do for their best friend who's life had obviously just been turned upside down.
"Brett, are you okay?" Asked Kidd as she tried to get closer to Brett without upsetting her.
Brett looked up at both girls with eyes that were filled with tears, "I'm being sued... for doing my job."
FIVE MINUTES BEFORE
"Hey, Brett are you coming to Molly's tonight for a drink?" Asked Kidd as she laughed at Foster's horrible date story from the other night.
Brett was laughing as well, "Umm, I'm not sure, I might..."
"Are you Sylvie Brett?" Asked an unknown man as he walked up to the girls with an orange folder.
"Yes, I am. Who are you?" Asked Brett as she worriedly looked at Kidd and Foster, who looked like they were ready to pounce at any moment.
"It doesn't matter who I am, but you've been served." Replied the man as he handed Brett the folder then walked to his awaiting car.
I fight, I bleed, I always stand my ground
You can't knock me down
Can't knock me down
I've got an army in my soul
I let the flame turn me to gold (me to gold)
Got strength you don't know about
So bring what you got, bring it now
You can't knock me down
Can't knock me down
"Brett, I've contacted the CFD lawyer in charge of your case, and he said he should be here around twelve to talk with you."
"Thanks, Chief I appreciate it." Whispered Brett as she got up from the chair in his office and started to make her way out.
"Brett," Called out Chief Boden before Brett walked out of the room.
"Yes, Chief?" Asked Brett as she turned and looked at the man in front of her.
Boden took a second before he answered, "If you need anything, let me know."
Brett smiled, "Thank you, Chief."
Boden nodded before returning to the stack of papers on his desk.
Brett was almost to the locker room when she heard him yell her name.
"Brett," yelled Casey as he started jogging his way over to her.
"Yeah," Sadly answered Brett as she turned around and looked at the man in front of her.
Casey noticed as soon as he saw Brett how sad she looked, "Listen, I heard about what's happening. That's crazy."
"It is." Answered Brett.
"Are you okay?" Worriedly asked Casey.
Brett numbly nodded, "I'm good. Thanks, Casey."
"If you need anything just let me know."
"Thanks, Casey. I will." Replied Brett before she entered the locker room, where she prayed she would have some time alone to think before the lawyer came to talk to her.
I've got an army in my soul
I let the flame turn me to gold (me to gold)
Got strength you don't know about
So bring what you got, bring it now
You can't knock me down
Can't knock me down
The day was finally here. It was court day for Brett and the man who was using ber, over the death of his fiance.
Everyone from the firehouse had offered to come with her, but she told them she was fine and could handle this by herself.
'I am Sylvie Brett, and I can do this. ' Thought Brett before she walked into the courthouse and gasped at who was there at the entrance waiting for her.
"Casey? What are you doing here?"
"I know you said you wanted to be by yourself today, but I couldn't let you go through this by yourself. If you want me to go, I understand. "
Brett looked at the man in front of her and smiled, "No, I'm glad you're here. Thank you for coming."
Casey smiled, "Anytime. You ready to do this?"
Brett sighed before she picked her chin up and stared down the door she would have to walk through in a matter of seconds, "Always."
I fight, I bleed, I always stand my ground
You can't knock me down
Can't knock me down
I see the lightning fill the...
