Kate laughed quietly, watching as chimney tip-toed around the birds.

Two kids on a school trip thought it would be a good idea to throw rocks at a bunch of crows, resulting in their entrapment in a barn and one of them getting pecked for minutes

Bobby pushed open the barn door, the young boy jumped up from the hay "Over here. Dean's cut up real bad."

"How 'bout you, you okay?" Cap asked

"Yeah, I think so."

"Eddie, Kate check him out." He told them

"Alright, let's sit down so we can get a good look" Kate spoke softly to the kid, she looked him up and down, pulling back his sleeves for any cuts or scrape "you look alright to me, does anything hurt?"

"No" he shook his head

"It was crazy. Tell 'em Riley." Dean called on his friend for help

"Uh, yeah, it was like they were possessed or something." He stammered

"You sure it didn't have anything to do with those rocks you guys threw at them?" Hen narrowed

"He did it." Riley pointed

"Liar!"

"I tried to stop him! "

"Shut up."

"Okay that's enough" Kate stopped them "neither of you should have throw the rocks, the birds weren't bothering you."

"But he sai-.."

"Ah ah" Kate pointed at Riley "I don't care who said what, I am a firefighter not your mother. My main concern is getting you two out in one piece"

"How do we get these guys past them?"

"Well, they're looking for two kids. We give 'em something"

Kate dropped her coat from her arms, she wrapped it around Riley, putting her helmet on his head. She seemed to be the first person to volunteer so willingly "well come on then" she hurried

They put Dean on a gurney his face now bandaged up, Kate took the lead, given that everyone else was too scared, she stood at the end of the gurney and pulled open the doors.

"So what happens if they fly over here?" Chimney asked

"Well, if you make eye contact with a crow, it could change its behavior."

"For better or worse?"

"Unclear. Whoa, guys."

"Hen you know a weird amount about crows" Kate acknowledged
