Boden: "Come on in."

Hermann: "What did I do now?"

Boden: "Nothin'. You are acting Lieutenant today."

Hermann: "O...kay."

Boden: "It's my fault. Casey and SC, they have this charity thing over at Chicago Med. I forgot to file the paperwork for him."

Hermann: "You gotta tell me ahead of time, Chief. I got to get prepared. Mentally, I got..." he trails off at the look Boden gives him "Right, got you covered."

Boden: "Thank you. Close the door."

Hermann: "Yeah."

Ryan: "Hey." she perks up, standing up from her spot leaning against a wall

Genevieve: "Hey."

Ryan: "Did you get it?"

Genevieve: "Yeah." she nods, handing her a small bag

Ryan: "Thanks" she breathes out in relief "Couldn't exactly explain to Matt where I was going without setting off any alarm bells."

Genevieve: "Where does he think you are now?"

Ryan: "Waiting for you" she shrugs "What? It's not a lie."

Genevieve: "Uh huh."

Ryan: "I'll be right back." she hums, entering a room inside the hospital as Genevieve stands by the door

Announcer: "Please make sure you register at least 30 minutes before the race begins."

Genevieve: "Mmh. Goat shirts?" she hums, coming over to the booth where Matt it setting up

Matt: "Those are collectors' items."

Ryan: "Yeah, garbage collectors." she snickers, looking through one of the boxes

Genevieve: "You running the 10k with us?"

Ryan: "No." she scoffs, giving Matt a look

Matt: "I'm more of a sprinter."

Ryan: "He chickened out at the last second. And apparently I'm not allowed to either because one of us needs to carry out the Casey name."

Matt: "You've been practicing for this race for 2 years now. If you don't do it now, you'll never do it."

Ryan: "Yeah, yeah, yeah."

Genevieve: "Heard you're introducing the commissioner later."

Matt: "Yeah. Not sure how that fell on me."

Ryan: "Well, a ceiling fell on you while you were saving a baby, baby. Surprised they haven't given you a key to the city yet." she chuckles, turning her attention to where Kim is struggling to set up a stand

Genevieve: "Hey, you need a hand?"

Kim: "I...I kind of have no idea what I'm doing." she sighs, making the two women chuckle

Ryan: "Babe..." she turns to face him, giving him a pleading look

Matt: "On it."

Ryan: "Thank you." she smiles, blowing his a kiss

Matt: "Firefighters bailing out cops is a long tradition."

Kim: "Oh, okay. Well, when you need a police officer to..." she trails off, Matt raising his brows in amusement "I've got nothing."
