Next day. At the Firehouse.
Louis' father had shown up last night at Gabby's front door.
he wants his son back.
Gabby "Maybe he just wants to shake us down"
Stella "Well, then he's messing with the wrong girl"
I nodded "and with the wrong family"
Gabby "no kidding."
Stella "Look, Gabby, it's gonna be okay. I mean, DCFS will read this guy the riot act"
the alarm went off "Squad 3, Truck 81, Person trapped, 2617 West 17th Street"
I gave Gabby a quick hug "everything's gonna be okay.

2617 West 17th Street
A guy walked to us "hurry. This dumbass, his arm is stuck and the whole thing's coming down"
Casey "one of your workers?"
The guy "some bros tried to rob the place"
Kelly, Casey, the guy and i walked inside.
Kelly "these guys tried to rob the place?"
The guy "nah, they snuck in and tried to make off with a few kegs of IPA."
A boy walked to us "over here! hurry up ! hurry up!"
My jaw dropped.
The guy had his arm stuck between the keg and the pallet. bad is that the that the kegs were piled up at least a couple units up. If that thing comes crushing down we could all get crushed underneath the kegs.
The guy froze "i can't feel my arm!"
I sighed and looked at he people surrounding the guy "Everybody, back up! Give us some room!"
Truck 81 walked in with the ladder.
Casey "Otis, Kidd, attack the webbing to the ladder"
One of the guys "hey, hold on, Pants"
Casey "hey, you need to stay back until we get the pallets stabilized."
Then he looked at the victim "what's your name, buddy?"
The guy whimpered.
The other guy "that's Pants"
Casey raised an eyebrow "Pants?"
The guy "that's what everybody calls him - Pants"
Casey "Pants, take a deep breath, relax. We're gonna get you out of there in just a minute. Mouch, use that column as the anchor"
Hermann "hey, so what exactly happened here?"
The guy "well, we couldn't reach the kegs on top, to Pants tried to grab some form the bottom. It was kinda like ...."beer Jenga."
Hermann "Wow, most people would've just given up"
Casey "come on, guys. Let's get this latched up. Raise the ladder"
They secured the ladder.
Kelly "we need more people to pull"
We grabbed the string and pulled on it.
The guy walked closer to us "come on, Pants, pull out your arm"
One of the kegs fell over the edge. Kelly shoved the guy out of the way and they both hit the ground.
