Stellaride behind the flames

A future leader

GM=Gianna Mackey

General POV: it's been a few months ha since the season finale and we last saw our firefighters a lot of things had changed like for one Emily foster went back to med school and doesn't work at the firehouse m. Another thing that has change is the whole world is dealing with COVID 19 and the firefighters are trying to work their job with making sure everyone is healthy. The season premier starts off with the chief talking to the new paramedic

CB= the most amazing important word to firehouse 51 is community this is a neighborhood house when this community calls we respond when it raise it hand we pull it  to it's feet so it's isn't good enough just to show up to this house on time punch in and punch out at the end of your shift I expect you to become a part of the lifeblood of this community cause we as a  family
CZ= ( runs in out of breath) am I late oh damn it, I hit a pothole on west Harrison and I blew  a tire I got it changed but then I had to park like two blocks back down on Rocine
K= what were you saying chief about showing up on time chief
CB= mm-hmm
CZ= I'm so sorry I'm so sorry
GM= it's okay
CZ= chief you meet Gianna , Gianna this is the chief I uh I was supposed
GM= is joe's tiredness gonna affect your perception of me because you know I would yeah I would definitely deny knowing him
MC= too late cruz already told us you grew up on the same block
GM= damn
SB= it's best we found out your association with this scoundrel before we were in too deep
GM= ( laughs) guilty but just so you know the whole neighborhood was well aware of the cruz brothers you know the words " stay away " on every mother's lips
CZ= ( slaps her on the arm) hey excuse me
CB= Gianna Mackey looks like you're gonna fit right in welcome to ambulance 61
SB= thanks chief
CB= dismissed ( everyone leaves the chief office)
CZ= I cannot believe that I was late to introduce you on your first day
GM= you can make it up to me by giving me a full tour
CZ= right this way ( they leave)
SB= she seems cool huh
MC= yeah she is one lucky medic to have you as a partner
SB= thank you Matt Casey
SB= how is foster doing at northwestern
SB= loving it there's no remote leading when you are in med school  during a pandemic of course it's Emily so she's volunteering in the COVID ward on top of all that
MC= sounds like her
K= when are they gonna allow more civilian staff in here
MC= I heard the CFD isn't letting anyone back out of " an abundance of cations0
K= the same thing with Stella's program
SB= girls on fire I loved it
K= yeah she's trying to get it started again but it's like pulling teeth

Stella's POV: the last few months has been crazy the only good thing that has happen is mine and Kelly's relationship we have gone stronger and he is making me fall completely in love with him each and every day. The bad part of the last few months is COVID has became a pandemic and everything has shit down like my girls on fire program right now I am meeting with a the public relation guy to see what he can do to help me get this program up and running again

S= this is what I'm saying I started girl on fire to show young women in Chicago women who have been hurting this year by the way that they have an opportunity they've probably never thought and it was working
OH= this is about public health during a pandemic
S= we will keep it small we will mask up we will stay outside just please just please think about the girls
OH= okay okay I'll run it up the flag pole
S= that's all I'm asking
OH= no promises ( he leaves)
S= well through you have to sell this for me the way I'm selling it to you

CZ= uh hey everyone Um I would like you all to meet Gianna Mackey I have known her all of her life and she is now gonna be working with Brett On 61
S= so you grew up around cruz
GM= oh yeah yeah I was just a few years behind his younger brother Leon
S= girl you are gonna have to tell us some stories
CZ= uh-uh no that is not gonna happen
