Eddie, buck and I were walking into the firehouse until Bobby calls us into his office. "You three, in here now!" That tone didn't sound good, "What'd you do this time that you roped us in?" Eddie asked buck. "Nothing... I think." I was always getting yelled out so it was probably something I did. The tension was high once we a stepped in his office. "H-Hey cap." Eddie said, he was nervous and it was pretty obvious. "Why did I get an angry call yesterday about you three disobeying orders with the Austin 126?" We were all silent, so I decided to speak up for us. "We did nothing wrong, we had to save hen and captain strand. Commander de Leon didn't want us to go but we understood the risk. We weren't going to let hen die there, they were already passed out when we found them."

"Y-yeah, everyone made it out alive, where the harm in that?" Buck says, "that's understandable, I'm not mad at you guys. I get it, you were trying to save your teammate, hen told me everything. Who's idea was it to take Austin's engine?" He looked at all of us, "me, I knew you were gonna be mad if we scratched our engine so I thought it would be better if we took there's." I bit the inside of my cheek in nervousness. "Good idea, I would've done the same thing if I were guys. Just don't do it when you're with me." We nod our heads and walked out, "I can't be the only one who was seriously confused by that whole conversation. Wait, how'd you get the keys of our engine if I had them?" I laughed. "Marjan took them when you weren't looking, might wanna keep a better eye on them if they happen to land on your hands again." He shook his head annoyed, "I knew I wasn't going crazy."

"Oh, bless your hearts for getting here so quick. I'm Ellen, oh bless your hearts." The woman came up to us running, first shaking eddies and bucks hand then reached out her hand to shake mine but she took a good look at me and walked away to shake hens hand. "Okay..." I stunned but it's not like I reached out my hand or anything. "Oh well, the lord sure took his sweet time with you didn't he?" She was flirting with Bobby and I was dying of laughter on the inside. "You called in a fire ma'am?" Bobby asked.

"It's right over here. Oh, you know these people do not respect our country's laws. I guess we can't expect them to respect our city's either, it's right back here." She entangles her arm with Bobby's while leading us to her backyard. "I'm sorry, am I hearing her correctly?" I asked Eddie and he scoffed. "There, see! I told you. They're putting the whole darn community at risk." Smoke was coming out the ground. "Uhh, what is that? A septic?" Buck asked. "Hell, septic never smelled that good, that's barbacoa." I stepped over the fence to take a closer look. "What the hell is barbacoa?" Chimney was intrigued. "It's a steak you cook underground." I picked up the tarp with my boot that was covering the hole. "You cook meat in the dirt?" Bobby asked and I nodded my head. "Yeah, I'm surprised you didn't know."

A man started walking towards us, "aw hell no, Ellen. Who'd you call this time, you crazy lady?" Eddie keeps him back and Ellen starts getting real scared. "Ooh, you better call the police. That man is unstable." She started to hide behind cap, "I'm unstable? You're unstable!" He yells back. "I think this is just a misunderstanding." Bobby tries to calms things down but it was better him than me. "No, I don't misunderstand anything. She may look like a sweet old lady but she's an evil racist!" Now that I did believe, there was no way of defending her. "Who you calling old?"
