Standing in a doorway, Wesley watches with a soft look on her face as Skylar gently caresses Gabriel head, holding a bottle of water up to his mouth

Jeremiah: "Hey" he hums, gaining her attention as she turns to face where he motions to the living room "I'm heading out."

Wesley: "Meeting with Intelligence."

Jeremiah: "Ah, it's just Joseph and Sergeant Voight. I reached out to the guy on Ava's voicemail. Said the only way he'd talk is in person."

Wesley: "Alright, well be careful. Oh, and you're picking up Avery, right?"

Jeremiah: "Yeah. 3 o'clock. See ya later."

Wesley: "Bye" she hums, moving over to the kitchen counter as Skylar enters the room "He asleep?"

Skylar: "Yeah, just went down. Got him to finish a full bottle."

Wesley: "You might just be a miracle worker" she chuckles, a look of gratitude coming over her face "No, but seriously, thanks for all your help, Skylar. I know there are way more fun things you could be doing."

Skylar: "Eh, not really. Don't have many friends. At least not my age."

Wesley: "Well, still. Thank you."

Skylar: "Just wanna see him get better" she nods, glancing at her watch which makes her eyes widen "Crap, I'm gonna be late" she exclaims, rushing over to grab her belongings "And I missed the bus, damnit." she groans as Wesley chuckles, grabbing hold of a set of keys

Wesley: "Not like he'll be going anywhere today."

Skylar: "Really?"

Wesley: "Go ahead." she shrugs, making a look of relief come over Skylar's face

Skylar: "Thank you. I'll try to have it back by tonight and if not then by the morning for sure."

Wesley: "Don't worry about it." she hums, waving as Skylar hurries out the door

Luke: "How are you not freezing right now?" he scoffs, doing small hops as he shivers, standing in line for a food truck

Theo: "After the heatwaves we just went through? This feels like heaven."

Luke: "If anything it just makes you more of a psycho." he mutters, making Theo chuckle

Theo: "Cameron?" he hums, motioning to Luke's phone which begins going off

Luke: "Yeah."

Theo: "How's he enjoying the wonders of the wilderness?"

Luke: "Based on these photos, I'd say very much" he hums with a large smile on his face which is quickly replaced by a look of nervousness "Speaking of Cam, I've been meaning to ask you something."

Theo: "What's up?"

Luke: "His class is doing a career shadow day. They're given a list of occupations and they choose which one they wanna do. Cam has decided on first responders...more specifically fire and EMT." he informs, making Theo's eyes widen in realization

Theo: "Oh."

Luke: "Yeah."

Theo: "That's-that's cool. Guessing he didn't wanna have a father-son day."

Luke: "Yeah, I guess not" he lightly chuckles, nervously glancing at him "If you're uncomfortable with it I can find another firehouse. Just felt it would be better at 51 seeing as how I know you guys."

Theo: "Yeah, no. No, of course. Just, uh, let me clear it with Boden."

Luke: "You sure?"

Theo: "Should be asking you that question. I mean it was not that long ago you were calling me a puppy."
