"Well I guess this is it" Harper says as she packs up the last of her things in Miami.
Harper had decided that she needed a new start after loosing best friend and fire fighter Ellis Smith. Harper was carrying the weight of his death on her shoulders as she blamed herself for not trying hard enough to save him. After the 3 hour plane ride Harper had finally arrived in Chicago. Her apartment wasn't was she thought it was going to be but that didn't stop her from making it her own. A few days had passed and it was time for her first shift, her nerves were all over the place however she managed to push through.
As she walked into the firehouse she spotted these two men
"Hi umm I'm looking for a Gabriella Dawson, Do you guys know where she is?" Harper asks trying not to be too confident
" I'll tell her that your here but can I get a name first" Casey replies as he smiles
" Oh I'm Harper Bailey the new paramedic on Ambulance 61" Harper says
"You must be Harper! Gabriella Dawson pleased to meet you" Dawson says with a smile on her face

"It's nice to meet you" Casey says as he smiles
"Yeah great to meet you" Kelly answers trying not to make eye contact
