"Heard that you and firehose kissed wanna tell me what that's about?" Hen asks with a smirk whilst Olivia sighs. "It was unintentional! I went to kiss his cheek he turned his head and we ended up kissing." Olivia sighed looking down trying to focus on her movements. "Was it at least a good kiss?"

Olivia walks into the firehouse looking at Hen and Buck who are arguing over a video game. She laughs to herself before walking over to Bobby. "sup cap." she greeted him whilst stuffing her face with grapes. "Hello to you too Liv." Bobby laughs before Chimney walks over like somethings upset him. "What's wrong Chim?" Everyone asked him before he sighed. "I'm a good looking guy right?" He asks them. "I'd say so." Olivia replies getting a small head turn of Buck. "I mean like you can do a lot worse than me yeah?" He asks looking at them. "Chimney I've done a whole lot worse than you." Hen reassures him before Buck and Liv get called on by Bobby to set the table. "You think I'd be a good father?" Chimney asks. "Duh!" Olivia shouts out with Hen agreeing. "I asked Tatiana to marry me." Chimney says before Olivia gasps. "Wooo! that's great right?" Olivia questions whilst everyone else share the same level of confusion. "Well what happened?" Hen asked. "First she said she cheated on a fiancé that I didn't even know about. And now we need to break up then she said she didn't know." Chimney explains the situation whilst Olivia shakes her head. "What a bitch." Olivia says straight up earning a snort of Buck. "Did you offer her the option of an open marriage ? It's super modern." Buck suggest making Olivia roll her eyes. "Buck please." She sighs hoping he gets the message. "Chim i'm sorry that may not have been the response that you hoped for but it's not no." Hen says trying to cheer him up. "It might as well be." Chimney and Olivia say at the same time. Hen Glares at Olivia letting her know she isn't helping the situation. "Probably for the best." Bobby says straight up making Chimney look at him. "What was that?" Chimney asks agitated. "Nothing i'm sorry. I didn't mean anything by that, you doing okay?" Bobby tries his best to sound sincere but Chimney sees right through it. "Of course you meant something by it, "Probably for the best"? there's a lot of meaning behind that. What you don't like her?" Chimney questions whilst buck and Olivia look back and forth at the two. "I never said I don't like her, I don't like her for you." Bobby tells him gaining a scoff of Chimney. "Preach." Olivia says under her breath. "And what does that even mean? No come on. come on with it wise man. Uh- just say what you want to say. Cause i'm getting real tired of you standing there just silently judging me with that- yeah right there with that smirk on your face. You know you're always so quick-" Chimney was getting more and more frustrated by the second so Bobby tried to stop him but he carried on. "To comment on everybody's life but you completely shut down whenever we ask you about yours why is that ? huh?" Chimney adds before Olivia and Hen try to stop their bickering. "I mean how long have we worked together Bobby? I know nothing about you, i've never even met your wife and your kids, you know why? Cause all you do is you sit there brooding staring in that little book of yours." Chimney shouts making Olivia look at Hen to see what to do. "You know what? you're upset let's drop it." Bobby says trying to give him the benefitted of the doubt. "Oh my god Bobby. Come on just it! What is it? say it!" Chimney shouts out making Bobby cave in. "All right you're living a lie man! You let her manipulate you! You pretend to be somebody you're not when you're around her. Making up stories to satisfy some hero fetish of hers? what is that?" Bobby explains not biting his tongue anymore. "You know what? Maybe I wouldn't have to make up stories if every once and while you let me take some point on something. I have to operate the winch right? And the manoeuvre I can do do the manoeuvre." Chimney exclaims as Bobby nods. "I know you can but that's not the point here. Chimney this relationship that you're in is fuelled by lies." Bobby sighs not waning to hurt him anymore. "Come on Y- you asked me to make you two dinner so you could pass it off as your own. she's not inlove with you! she's Inlove with this fantasy version of you!" Bobby shouts making Olivia whistle. "You know what? I feel real bad for your wife. I really do. Must be tough living with someone who thinks he's right all the time!" Chimney shouts before storming out. "..Adults am I right?" Olivia chuckles softly hoping to ease some tension off which she fails.

When everyone gets called to the scene their heart breaks a bit. I mean it's Chimney and he's been in a bad car accident what are they suppose to feel like??
"Hang back guys." Bobby tells Olivia, Buck and Hen as they all step in their tracks. Olivia plays with her hands nervously taking a deep breath in and out. A few minutes after worrying Bobby walks them through his situation. "He's alert and talking doesn't appear to be in any pain." Bobby tells them whilst they all look confused. "Got a piece of rebar through his skull,how is that even possible?" Buck questions matching his pace. "Oh it's possible." Hen says before Olivia chimes in. "Brain tissue has no nociceptors it can't feel pain." Olivia tells buck who's even more confused. "Okay what about the rest of his head?" Buck questions looking at Bobby. "Well he's in shock now listen guys, this hasn't registered yet he knows he's pinned but that's it so we gotta be cool." Bobby says looking at Olivia when at the last part. "So of this things right between his eyes can he see it?" Buck asks another question. "I don't know what he can see." Bobby says before they arrive at to where Chimney is. "Airways sound good." Hen says looking at them. "What's your pain level Chim?" Olivia asks looking at him. "Not much pain, uh i don't think there's any spinal damage..I can feel my legs but when I try to move my head-" Chimney didn't get a chance to explain because when he mentioned about his head Olivia, Buck and Hen all shouted at him. "Just be still." Bobby says deescalating the situation. "What's going on? wh- wh- why aren't you guys like cutting me out of here." Chimney asks his panicking rising. "It's complicated." Olivia tells him sighing. "why?" He asks confused. "You've been injured Chim." Bobby explains. ""Well how bad is it?" Chimney asks side eying them. "It's not good." Buck tells him before Olivia's elbow meets his arm. "Well I wanna see it." Chimney commands. "You don't Chim." Olivia reassures him. "Yeah I do! Bobby, Liv, show me." Chimney shouts out before Bobby records him and his injures showing him. "Holy crap. How come i'm not dead?" Chimney asks confused. "Because you are the luckiest and the unluckiest son of a bitch on the face of the earth all at the same time." Bobby says with a slight chuckle. "Hey uh, you guys I can't even feel this." Chimney says with his breathing getting faster. "I know." Bobby says looking at him. "Please get me out of here before I start to.." Chimney gets interrupted by Bobby. "All right we're working on it. Normally i'd be consulting with my smartest EMT but right now he's got a rebar stuck in his head." Bobby says before everyone starts Helping Chimney with transport to the hospital.

Olivia and the rest of the 118 are all waiting around the firehouse to hear some news of Chimney. Olivia sighed with her hands on her head imaging the worse case scenario. "It's been fourteen hours. How longs it take to pull a rod out of a guys skull anyway?" Buck asked pacing up and and down. "You ever heard that saying "It ain't brain surgery?" Well this is what's three across for when doubled in?" Hen says getting interrupted by Bobby. "Just got off the phone with the surgeon." Bobby tells them before Olivia shoots up. "He alive?" Buck asks exhaling. "He's alive." Bobby replies with a nod making everyone let out a sigh of relief. "He still have both his eyes?" Hen asks concerned. "Yeah." Bobby tells them before Olivia takes a deep breath. "Any..any brain damage?" Olivia asks looking at him worried. "There were some complications when they took the rebar out, he started haemorrhaging they got the bleeding under control but had to put him in a medically induced coma. They'll let us know if his condition changes." Bobby tells them as her drops looking at him. "You mean if he wakes up." Buck says before Hen and Olivia add more on. "Or if he doesn't.." They say at the same time with the same tone whilst Bobby nods.

Buck asks her as she follows him. "We all were and yeah it's wrong." Olivia tells him before Hen chimes in. "We're not here to blow off steam we're here to help." Hen tells them before Buck and Olivia let out a small chuckle following Hens lead.
Buck, Olivia, and Bobby try to get the door open with their tools as Hen walks off. Olivia groans wiping the sweat of her forehead whilst Buck smirks at her as she rolls her eyes. They get the door open and a couple come rushing out carrying a kid in their arms. The man starts speaking Spanish which Olivia translates in her head grabbing the boy placing him down gently. "It's atleast four and a half hours to the Mexican border if that's even where they started." Hen states before Olivia starts compressions on the young boy. "Come on breath for me please." Olivia says panicking still doing compressions whilst Buck looks at her concerned. Hen then uses the bag trying to help him to which her comes around making Olivia fall back of relief. "Javi! Javi! gran trabajo." Olivia smiles at the boy whilst Buck taps her back. Everyone is out and is now they are all getting hydrated and the help they need. Olivia and Buck turn around and see Hen tackling a man down. "Holy shit..come on." Olivia motions her head before running over. "Woah! That was badass but I thought we weren't here to blow of steam." Buck says whilst Olivia tries calming her down. "You know what you can blow." Hen says before storming off. "Nice one Buck." Olivia rolled her eyes. "Yeah yeah." Buck said before his phone rang. "Get your girlfriend to ring when you're maybe not working." Olivia suggests walking off.
