When it comes to funerals or people dying it's always someone's fault or feels like it should be. Claudette, a dispatcher had passed away when she arrived to the hospital, her family was holding a funeral. The entire 118 was invited, she was an interesting woman, we talked a few times but she sometimes had ridicule me for being young just like she did to May. Claudette was definitely an amazing dispatcher, she should've survived, me and hen attended her but when she was left with Jonah she didn't make it. We both found it strange but we're just left with the thought of it.

Chim invited hen and I back to his place, I mostly agreed because I didn't want to be home. "I never understood these things, you know? I mean what are you supposed to do with him after?" He holds up obituary program. "From my experience, I stuff them in my drawer and throw them out like years later when I realize that it's taking up space." Chim gives me a strange look while hen was spacing out. "Hen what's going on? You seem out of it." Chim asks then she puts down her mug of coffee. "All right, I had this crazy idea in my mind. Some questions about Claudette's death, it didn't make any sense, she was fine on our watch and then she coded and then she was dead."

"We see weird stuff everyday." He adds, "i don't think it's crazy, it's weird because this kinda thing doesn't happen on our watch. For example the spiders, I gave him the right dose of a steroid injection for the bites but when we left him in Jonah's care to go talk to cap, he coded." I was there crossing my arms while trying to put the pieces together. "Just like Claudette, it could be a coincidence, I mean she did have hypertension." I looked at her immediately confused, "how would you know that?" He asks, "I may have looked in her medicine cabinet during the post funeral reception." She takes out her phone and shows us the picture of Claudette's medications.

"Okay, Nancy drew, I'm impressed. A high blood pressure combined with smoke inhalation would put a lot of stress on the heart." Chim finishes my sentence for me, I was hen was so into solving this theory. "Could cause cardiac event, except... her BP would have been stable at the scene." This was starting to get good, "wait, how do you know that?" Hen asks him. "Because you and Artemis did her assessment, if he vitals hadn't been stable, you two would have shipped her out priority, you guys are definitely onto something." I nodded my head, "so you guys believe me?"

"Hell yeah, I was gonna say something about it but I didn't want to sound crazy, there's something off about him. He creeps me out, I have a bad feeling about him, wait, I have an insane idea, what if we look up the paramedic transfer forms. I remember where he has them, the first day I came here, I remember him opening it up to take out my final."

The next thing you know we were sneaking into the fire house, trying to be as quiet and sneaky as we can. "Can't believe youre having us break into caps office." Chim whispers to me, "remember this for the good of the station and whoever our next victim is." We entered and started looking for a copy of the paramedic transfer forms that Jonah submitted for Claudette and Perry, our spider bite pet sitter. She started looking through files, "or we could log on to the computer, pull up Jonah's personnel file." Chim comes up with that idea.
