"They've been known to remember the faces of their tormentors years later and still attack."

"Oh, they're bye-crows, great," Chimney groaned. He threw his hands up in the air and looked out the window again.

"How do we get these guys past them?" Eddie asked

"Well, they're looking for two kids," Adrienne replied, glancing over at Hen to see if she had any ideas.

"We give 'em something else," Bobby says.

The plan was simple. They were going to dress the boys to disguise them from the crows. Adrienne lent her turnout gear to Riley and Dean's head was covered in gauze. The team plus the boys were only a few feet away from the barn when Chimney stops them.

"Whoa, guys," Chimney says. Adrienne slowly crept over to see a crow right in front of Chim. Chimney continued, "Okay, he's making eye contact with me. He's not attacking. Go. Go, go, go, go."

Chimney whisper yelled for the team to move. Adrienne kept on glancing back just to check on Chimney and the crow. Chimney bribed the crow with a granola bar he kept in his pocket.

"Alright, Bucky, you got everything in order, right?" Adrienne asked. She carried over a box of paper bags to her boyfriend.

The 118 fire department always held a Halloween open house for children and their parents every year. This year, Buck was in charge of handling candy distribution.

"Everything inside this bucket," She grabbed a teal bucket off of the table, "Is for kids with allergies. Everything in there is nut-free, dairy-free, egg-free, soy-free, and gluten-free."

"And who are these for? Kids allergic to fun?" Buck holds up a smoke detector. Adrienne snatched it out of Buck's hand and laughs.

"There should be some pamphlets about basic fire safety that should be in the closet," Adrienne informed. She opens the box and takes out a few bags. There was a moment of silence between the two.

"When do you think Bobby's going to stop punishing me?" Buck asks.

"Bobby's still a little upset," Adrienne replied. She attempted to steal a piece of candy from the bucket, only to be stopped by Buck. Buck swats her hand away and pulls the bucket back.

Adrienne sighs, "Please?"

She walked behind the table over to Buck.

"Are you nut-free, dairy-free, egg-free, soy-free, and gluten-free?" Buck asks. Adrienne nods a yes and holds out her hand. He gave in and drops a few in her hands. Adrienne thanked him with a kiss.

"Are we going out for dinner?" Adrienne asks.

"I don't know, am I forgiven?" Buck replied.

"The kiss proved that, Buck."

Adrienne walked out of an abandoned looking house with Eddie after looking inside. Chimney and the rest of the 118 team were outside dealing with children who were locked up inside of the basement.
