"What can I do for you today Grissom?" Harper asks
"Oh nothing! But I'm sure you will be pleased to see my friend?" Grissom says as Gorsch appears next to him
"Luitenent! Long time no see!" Gorsch says
"Captain! It's captain now!" Harper replies
"Not for long!" Gorsch whispers in her ear
"Okay first! Personal space is a thing! Second of all I don't know what diseases you carry! So get the hell away from me!" Harper replies angrily
"He's going to be over seeing the firehouse! Only for the next 2 weeks!" Grissom says smiling
"Let me guess you'll be spending a lot of time on truck 81?" Harper asks
"It is my favourite truck!" Gorsch says as he walks in and Grissom walks back to his car
Kelly and Casey walk over to Harper
"I'm gonna kill that son of a-" Harper shouts before getting cut off
"Language Luitenent!" Gorsch shouts
"It's captain Asshole!" Harper whispers so that only Kelly and Casey can hear
Kelly and Casey start to laugh and Gorsch comes to a dramatic stop
"What's so funny?" Gorsch asks
"Nothing Gorsch!" Harper replies smiling
"It's chief!" Gorsch replies
"Oh! Why would I call you chief when you can't even respect my god damn rank?!" Harper shouts getting close to him
"Yeah well I don't think your gonna be Captain for long! When I'm finished with you, you won't set foot in another firehouse again!" Gorsch says calmly
"Try....Me!" Harper says slowly
Gorsch walks away annoyed and Harper walks back to Kelly and Casey
"Be careful!" Casey says
"What?!" Harper asks
"He can fire your ass! And make sure you end up in a body bag!" Kelly says
"Please! I came from one of the best firehouses in Miami! The squad there was ranked number 1 under my leadership! And I've carried that to the CFD! I'm managing 17 truck companies! And have you noticed that truck 81 has been at the top of the ranks ever since I became Luitenent?" Harper says annoyed
"Just be careful! You can't afford to loose this job!" Kelly says
"If he strips you of your rank then that's a 20 grand drop! You can't afford to loose all that money! Look at the BMW you own? The big 5 bedroom house? Kelly's mustang? You can't afford that on a firefighters salary!" Casey says
"I know I couldn't! But I'm never gonna be in that position! I'll be leaving the CFD when I'm old! Not at the age of 33! I'm gonna fight this! Every step of the way!" Harper says before walking in
"Should I start saying goodbye to the cars?" Kelly asks
"And the house whilst your at it!" Casey says before walking away
"She better not get her ass fired! I love my car!" Kelly says under his breath
