'Volcano'

At the park there was a big banner with 'In Memory of Toby Logan' written on it and a photo of Toby with his formal uniform of the Rangers and a big, proud smile on his face.

There was plenty of food around already cooked by Firehouse 51 and there was a lot of meat to be cooked at the barbecued. Almost everyone had a cold beer in hand.

"Sergeant." Teresa approached after speaking, and crying, for almost two hours with the Rangers that knew her brother.

"Logan. How you holding up?"

Teresa just shows him a weak smile as an answer. "I was just wondering, about returning to work..."

"I don't want you absent minded on the job, so just take your time and make sure you return a hundred percent. Would a week or two help you out?"

"Two days. Just give me two days and I'll go back."

"Two days? Logan..."

"The best way for me to be ready to work is to work. The longer I stay without having anything to do, the harder it'll be to go back to work."

"Okay. Two days, if that's what you need."

"Thank you, sergeant."

"Stay on track, Logan."

Teresa joined Severide and Casey near the barbecue.

"Hey." Kelly says as he puts his free arm around her shoulders. "What do you want? Hamburger? Hotdog?"

"Uh... hotdog is fine."

"Herrmann is wondering if he should close Molly's today or not." Casey affirms. "He's wondering whether you want to go back there or not."

"Oh, no way. That's just be loss for Molly's. Maybe I'll go there, but no need to close it down. We already got the barbecue, it's more than enough."

"Gabby baked a pie when we got back from our call last night. She wants you to take it home with you."

"That's so nice. I'm going to say thank you."

"Hey!" Severide exclaims as he locks his arm around Teresa's shoulde more tightly when she tries to leave. "Eat first, talk later. I got your hotdog done." He then releases her only to hand her the hotdog.

Teresa smiles at him, amused with the order and then joins Jay, Will, Connor and Kim at table.

"Aren't you working today?" She asks Will and Connor as she takes a bite of her hotdog. "Is it your day off?"

"I asked the day to come." Will admits.

"Thanks..."

Jay, seeing her red, puffy eyes, and sensing that she wants to talk about anything but the funeral, squeezes her shoulder slightly as she fills her mouth with the hotdog, having it as an excuse to not talk. When she finishes the hotdog she goes to the table Gabby Dawson is in and says Casey told her about the pie.

"If you want, we can just eat it now." Teresa offers. "Since you backed it, I feel bad if you don't even have a piece."

"Sure. Let's eat it." Gabby agrees. "Guys, who wants some pie."

They all speak up so Gabby gets some paper plates, the pie and a knife and starts to cut it and hand it over.

"Did I hear pie?" Antonio says as he approaches the table.

"Yup. I made it." Gabby confirms.

"You made it? Maybe I won't eat after all. Not looking forward to food poisoning." He jokes.
