A Vandy Story

Chapter 2

After Andy had left Vic in the barn by her self she had been looking for Andy. She reached the beanery and everyone had told her that Andy had gone towards the locker room. As she was about to open Andy's bunk door, Andy had opened it. Before Vic could say anything to her she walked past her and went to the station gym. Herrera started hitting the punching board at full force until Maya walked in.

Maya- "Woah Herrera. Whose face are you imagining on that punching back right now?"

Andy- "No one"

Maya- "You are hitting that punching bag harder than I would."

Andy- "Did you come in here to talk or workout because if you are here to talk, just leave."

Maya- "Alright. I'll just get on the treadmill."

Just like that they worked out in a comfortable silence, or at least Andy did. Maya was worried about slipping up and saying the wrong thing. By the way Andy was throwing punches for all she knew, her face would be the next target. After Bishop finished running she left the gym and entered the beanery, where her team was sat.

Maya- "Have you noticed Herrera acting weird?"

Warren- "Other than ignoring us and going to her bunk earlier... No."

Maya- "She told me to leave the gym if I wasn't going to work out. She was hitting that punching back like it was her worst enemy. I don't think she's okay."

Montgomery- "I can talk to her"

Vic- "You can try but she pushed past me twice."

As everyone was talking about her, she walked into the beanery. Instead of saying hi, she walked straight to the fridge to get a bottle of water. After she downed the water, she went to take a shower.

Andy needed time to herself. She needed to figure out the confusion she was feeling instead of having her team prying at her for answers herself didn't even know. She lied in her bunk for an hour before the station was called in.

The speakers roared "Aid car 19-ladder 19-Engine 19"

Everyone went rushing down to the barn. Warren and Bishop were on aid car. Ruiz, Montgomery, and Gibson were on the ladder. Herrera, Hughes, and Sullivan were in the engine.

Of course of all people she has to be on the engine with Vic, Andy thought. The ride was silent, Andy made sure of it. They arrived at the structure fire of the apartment. Ruiz started handing out orders.

Ruiz- "Bishop. Warren, you're on triage."

Maya- "Yes sir" she said as they started setting up.

Ruiz- "Montgomery. Sullivan and Gibson, you're on fire attack. Herrera and Hughes your on evac. GO GO GO"

Now not only did they have to ride together, but also had to evacuate civilians together. Vic tried to talk to her, but Andy didn't respond unless it was work related.

Andy- "Seattle Fire. I need you to evacuate!" she said as she banged on each door.

Ruiz- "Herrera. Status Update?"

Andy- "Knocking on the last door now."

Ruiz- "Copy"

Andy- "Seattle Fire. I need you to evacuate the building immediately."

"HELP"

Andy- "We're coming in"

Andy kicked through the door with acid following behind. The fire was starting to creep into the room. It was a kid. Maybe 9. Home alone.
