"What about Anna Micheal?" Harper asks as she looks at a list
"I'm sure Casey hooked up with her" Kelly adds as he flips the page
"Okay...What about Jim Kepner?" Harper asks
"Dawson hooked up with him" Kelly says as he turns the page again
"Stella Kidd?" Harper asks as Kelly goes silent
"Mr Severide?" Harper asks
"No we can't have her" Kelly says as he quickly takes away the book
"Hey!" Harper says
"I'm sure Mouch will be happy covering" Kelly adds before rushing away
It's the next morning and Harper has caught up with Dawson whilst walking up the driveway
"Who the hell is Stella Kidd?" Harper asks
"Huh?" Dawson says as she looks up from her phone
"Focus! Who is Stella Kidd?" Harper asks again
"Ohh the Stella Kidd! That's Kelly's Ex! They were pretty serious" Dawson explains
"That's why he went funny!" Harper realises
"How did you come across her name anyway?" Dawson asks
"I need a firefighter, and every single one in the floater pool is useless. So I thought of adding someone permanent and then I came across Stella Kidd" Harper explains
"I would avoid her, for Kelly's sake" Dawson adds before walking in
It's an hour later and Harper is in her quarters, finishing up with some paperwork
"Captain!" Amelia yells as she appears at the door
"What's up?" Harper asks not taking her eyes off of the papers in front of her
"We need you on the app floor, it's Herrmann" Amelia explains as Harper gets up and walks out
"This stupid truck with the irritating Captain!" Herrmann yells clearly drunk
"Hey, calm down Herrmann" Kelly says softly
"Oh and you! Little Mr Know it all! The one who slept with the Captain and got everything he wanted in life! All of his kids are alive and his wife still loves him...well at least he thinks that!" Herrmann yells as he walks over to Kelly
"Herrmann" Kelly says
"Come on! Hit me! You know you want too!" Herrmann shouts
"I'm not gonna hit you Herrmann" Kelly adds
"Are you drunk?" Harper asks as she walks over to them
"No shit Sherlock!" Herrmann yells
"I need you to leave, right now" Harper says as Herrmann stumbles over to her
"And why do I have to do that?" Herrmann adds as he burps
"We get it Herrmann! We all lost Annabelle that day! But we're here working! I'm covering your ass by giving you payed leave! I'm working my ass off trying to pitch to Boden why I shouldn't fire you already! Now get out of my god damn firehouse!" Harper yells
"Do you know what! I don't need your little job anymore! I quit!" Herrmann yells before walking away

*Authors Note*
What do we think about adding Stella to the book? I'm torn, I would love to add Stella but then again I don't want to ruin Harper and Kelly's relationship! What do you all think?
