Season One : Episode Ten, A Whole New You.
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
May 2018
A few hours into her shift this time Becca was tagging along with Bobby and Chim. As Hen's shift didn't start for another two hours, and Buck has take a few personal days to be there for Abby after her mother Patricia had passed away a week ago.
But dispatch called in about a husband and wife both calling the police on each other, the trio made their way into the nicely decorated mansion and saw the husband handcuffed on the stairs.
"Okay, can you tell me what happened?" Bobby Asked
"Domestic call. Guy got into it with his wife, claims she threw a picture frame at his head." A female cop reported
"I'm not claiming anything that's what happened.
Look, forget about me there's something going on with my wife." He Said
"Sir, just relax, we have to take a look at your head.
Doesn't look too bad, does it, Chim?" Becca Said
"No. Couple stitches. Easy-peasy let me clean it up first." Chimney Said
Up above at the top of the stairwell Athena walks up with the wife.
"David, the bobbies are asking if I want to press charges." She spoke in an english accent
"The "bobbies"? Baby, there is something wrong with you." David Said
"Ma'am, you don't have to decide right now. We can take him-" Athena Said
"No, Officer, you don't understand." David Said
"I understand just fine." Athena Said
"No, you don't. She's not British." David mentioned
"She's not?" Chimney Said, wiping the blood off David's forehead.
"Yeah, that's not her voice. She was born in Brooklyn. The bobbies? The closest she's ever been to England is binge-watching episodes of Downton Abbey." David Said
"I don't know what he's talking about. David, you're frightening me." She Said, then began hiccuping.
"Look, we woke up this morning, and she just starts speaking like that. It's bloody this, bloody that. A spot of tea. All this weird British slang that I've never heard before. At first, I thought she was joking, but then it didn't stop, and I don't know what the hell's going on. So, I try to take her to the hospital. She freaked out, so I called 911." David Said
"Did she hit her head? Was she in an accident recently?" Becca Asked
"No, not that I know of." David Said
"Hey. She told me she woke up this morning with a migraine. That and violent hiccups. That coupled with obvious chest pains, I-I think she's having a stroke." Athena Said
"A stroke? Wouldn't she have slurred speech or paralysis or something?" David Said
Bobby and Becca made their way up to her, she pulled out her flashlight to check the wife's pupils.
"A man would, but a woman learns that symptoms can be different. Big-ass hiccups is one of them." Athena Said
"She's right. Stick your tongue out for me." Bobby Said, as she did as such.
"When's your birthday?" Becca Asked
"Right, it's, um... April...something I think." She Said
"Okay. Take my hand, come with me." He takes her hand, leading her down the stairs, "Chim, get the TPA injection ready."
"Take it easy, okay? We've got you." Becca Said, holding her other hand.
"Just sit down right here." Becca gently sets her down, "There's a clot that's preventing oxygen
to get to her brain, so her synapses are misfiring."
"That could cause her to speak with a British accent?" Athena Questioned
"The brain is still the great unknown. Some people wake up from a coma and can suddenly speak Mandarin." Becca Said, looking to Athena.
Chimney hands Bobby over the TPA injection, he carefully injected it into her arm.
"All right, let's get her to the hospital." Chimney Said
"Mhm, Come on." Bobby Said, helping her back to her feet.
"Are we taking the tube?" She Asked
"Yes, ma'am." Becca Said, sending her a smile.
"Hey, hey, hey, is she gonna be all right?" David Asked
"The shot should keep her safe until we get to the hospital." Chimney Reassured
"Okay. Thank you." David Said, with a sigh of relief.
"Don't thank us. Thank her." Bobby Said, nodding to Athena.
David turned to the Sergeant then nodded to her.
"Thank you." He Said
"Mhm." Athena Said
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
Throughout the day a couple more calls came in, soon Hen's shift started. But on the drive towards a call at a Psychic reading place, she and Chimney couldn't help but notice Hen's sad mood.
"I'm guessing things with Karen aren't going so well." Becca Said
"Oh you have no idea." Hen Sighed
"Hey. Hen, Karen'll come around I mean, she has to know that it wasn't you that night."
"Yeah it's like you were possessed, you were someone else. It was a full moon." Becca Said, as Chimney nodded.
"Was it? I don't know, guys we are what we do, right? How can I claim to be a family woman,
a faithful woman, when I did that? What if I've just been pretending with Karen?" Hen Wondered
"You don't pretend with someone you love Hen, it's not possible." Becca Said, picking up some gear out the truck.
"I don't know.." Hen Said
"What, so you don't want to get back together with her?" Chimney Questioned
"Of course I do. I love her. I'm just dealing with
an existential crisis." She picks up her medical bag, "Like, what if that's not who I am? Can we be together now that I've exposed this truth about myself? What if I, what if I'm a completely different person?" Hen Said
"You're still a lesbian, right?" Chimney Wondered, as Hen looked to him.
"Well, looks like we came to the right place to get you some answers." Becca Said, pointing to the Psychic Reading sign.
The three of them entered the place only to see a coroner putting a deceased body into a bag.
"The time of death: 3:30 p.m." He Said
"Guess we're a little late." Chimney Said, looking down at the guy.
"Yours is in there. The stiff is ours." He Said
The coroner then zipped up the bag and proceeded to roll the guy out, as the three of them made their way towards the back to help the Psychic woman giving her statement to an officer.
"Hello ma'am, we're with the LAFD how are you feeling?" Hen Asked
"A little hazy, it's like I can't catch my breath." She Replied
"Here try breathing into this," She hands her a brown paper bag, "Remember to breathe slowly." Becca Said
The Psychic woman nodded then proceeded to do as such.
"So what happened after?" The officer asked
"I don't know what happened. He just keeled over and fell like a stone. I had just finished reading his palm. This man's lifeline was really long.
"Well, it's not an exact science, now, is it? Left hand, please." He pulls out his stethoscope, and begins listening to her heartbeat.
"Look, Hen, I'm just saying, making one crazy mistake, you know, doesn't make you a completely different human being. It just makes you human." Chimney Said
"And what do us human's tend to do..we make mistakes at times." Becca Added
"Except it wasn't a mistake. It was a choice, and I got to ask myself, why? Why would I make that
choice? Risk everything?" Hen Questioned
"Would you like a quick reading from me?" She Asked
"I'd like for you to keep breathing into this bag and mind your own business." Hen Retorted
"I knew she was gonna say that." She Said, with a small smile then continued breathing into her bag.
After their call was over everyone was now back at the station, downstairs Becca was seen going over some maintenance as Buck approached her.
"Becca." Buck Said
"Hey, you...so how's Abby doing?" Becca Asked
"She's um, she's okay..I think I mean she seems okay. But is anyone ever okay when a relative die." Buck Replied
"Not just any relative it was her mom, maybe shes just trying to be strong. And plus she has you there right beside her through all of this." Becca Said
"Mhm, I kinda haven't left her side..but I decided to come back to work, you to know to give her some space." Buck Said
"Ah so my suspicions are true and that you have moved into Abby's place." Becca Said, with a knowing look.
"No I haven't-" She raised a brow at him, "Oh I guess I did then." Buck Said
"Is she okay with that, you guys have only been together for what like four in a half months?" Becca Questioned
"Yeah she's cool with it she hasn't said anything about it, so I'm taking that as a yes." Buck Said
"Hm, you guys must really be in love." Becca Said
"Speaking of in love how's your boyfriend these days?" Buck Asked
"Vince is good I mean we're good, and it's-" Becca Said
"Let me guess good." Buck continued, as Becca blushed.
"Yeah sorry it's just I get a little happy talking about him, it's like being in high school all over again when you can't stop smiling about your partner." Becca Said
"Know what you mean I've felt that way maybe about...five times." Buck Said
"You five girlfriends in high school?" Becca Said, in disbelief.
"Yep sure did, remember this is pre-new found love Buck. That was the old me." He Said
"Well if it's one thing for sure I know I definitely wouldn't have dated you in high school." Becca Said, slightly laughing patting his shoulder walking off.
Buck looked over his shoulder, watching her walk and a smirk came appeared on his face.
"Pfft she so would have." Buck Said
Meanwhile upstairs Bobby is sitting at the table, typing on his computer he hears footsteps approaching as Chimney, Becca and Hen walk up then closes his laptop.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. What was that
all about?" Chimney Said
"What?" Bobby Said
"You closed your laptop as soon as we walked in here, like you were hiding something." Chimney Said
"No, I didn't." Bobby Denied
"Yeah, you did." Hen Said
"I know that look it's definitely the "I wasn't looking at anything look but definitely was" look, my kids do it all the time..what are you hiding Robert?" Becca Said, crossing her arms.
"I just took a sip of tea." Bobby brushed off
"What's going on?" Buck Asked
"Bobby's hiding something." Becca Said
"Am not." Bobby shook his head
Chimney quickly swiped Bobby's laptop from him, then opened it up.
"Chim!" Bobby Said
"Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah..whoa." Chimney Said
Becca and Hen looked at the screen, as Buck puts his arm over theirs to get a good look and they see it was a dating website and they all looked to Bobby.
"RomancingTheUniform.com? That's my dating site.
That's where I met Tatiana." Hen Said
"Holy crap, are you actually putting yourself back out on the scene?" Becca Said, slightly gasping.
"My sponsor said maybe it's time." Bobby Admitted,
"I spend too much time in my work, in my head,
and that dating, having a girlfriend would help get me out in the world."
"I think it's great, you taking the leap. It's brave. While at the moment, I think that dating or sleeping with someone is not worth the trouble, but I'm happy for you." Hen Said
"Let's take a look at this shall we." Buck Said
He sat down at the table as Becca looked over his shoulder going through his profile.
"Look, this just isn't me. I-I feel like a probie stretching his first job." Bobby exasperated
"You're not a rookie, you're just rusty." Becca Said
"Last time I had a date, I was in my 20s." Bobby sighed
"Yeah, this is terrible and this picture looks like
you're trying to sell real estate from a bus stop bench. And you know what? I will not be buying.
All right?" Buck Said, as they all laughed a bit.
"Aw give him a break, I think Bobby looks adorable in that picture." Becca Said, smiling.
"Thank you Becca." Bobby Said
"You cannot describe yourself as, "I am a lifesaver,
not a heartbreaker." Buck Said
"Why not? That's solid, sweet." Bobby Said
"No, it is cheese. Sweet, sweet cheese." Buck Said, then bursted into laughter.
"Wait you like flan?" Chimney Said
"Good flan is the bomb." Bobby Said, in defense.
"Cap." Chimney Said
"You don't?" Bobby Said
""Oh, he...you have an AOL e-mail account still?
It is literally like you were frozen in ember in 1995." Buck Said
"It's "amber," not "ember," you idiot." Bobby Corrected
"Who cares? You can never show this to a girl." Buck Said
"And why not?" Bobby Asked
"Okay, this profile is a joke profile for a guy no
one ever wants to go out with." Buck Said, then Becca playfully shoved him.
"Hey, alright cut it out." Becca Said
"What I'm just saying." Buck laughed
"Okay you know what, maybe you are not the right person he should be taking dating advice from, Buckaroo." Chimney Said, taking the laptop away.
"And why is that? Because last time I checked,
I'm in a stable, monogamous relationship with an amazing woman. Besides Becca I'm the healthiest
dater at this whole table." Buck Said
Hen, Bobby and Chim all shared a look in realization that Buck is indeed right.
"Oh, my God, he's right." Chimney Said
"The world is turned upside down." Hen Said
"Hell has indeed froze over." Becca Chimed in, as they all laughed again.
"Yeah, okay, laugh, huh? I am proof that real change is possible." Buck Said, standing to his feet.
"What the hell, Evan Buckley?" A woman spoke
They all turned to see a woman approaching them, all of them shared confused looks to who she is but clearly she knows Buck.
"Can we help you?" Bobby Asked
"You lead me on for six weeks? The sexiest, deepest, most romantic, most intimate relationship I've ever had with a man...I told you everything. You told me everything, and I am not an easy nut to crack. Is this your sick game?" She Said
"You know her?" Hen Asked, leaning towards Becca as she shook her head no.
"Make a girl reveal every fear and secret and turn-on, and then you just disappear? Is ghosting girls your thing?" She Said
"I'm sorry, are you sure you have the right Evan Buckley?" Becca Questioned
"You mean the Evan Buckley who's a firefighter?
Who works here and was on the news, and climbed a roller coaster and looks exactly like you?" She Said
"Listen, yeah, sure, that-that is definitely me.
But the-the me that I am, and the him that you're describing, that is not the same person." Buck explained
The girl stared at him with a disappointed look, then proceeded to smack him hard across the face.
"Whoa! Hey, whoa." They all said
"Hey! Okay, ma'am hey," She catches her arm, getting in her face, "If you take another swing at him then you'll have to deal with me okay, back off." Becca Said, sternly.
The lady tugged her arm away then stormed out of there, as Becca shook her head and looked to Buck with concern.
"You okay?" Becca Asked, gently rubbing his cheek.
"Yeah I'm fine, but you see that?" They stare at him,
"No, no, I swear, I have never seen her before." Buck Said
"If you say so." Bobby Said
"No, I do say so. Okay, I swear, I-I don't know who that was." Buck Said
"Okay, Buck." Chimney Said
"I have..I have found real intimacy. Right? You know this. Come on. I haven't even flirted with anyone else. Like for instance I haven't flirted with Becca in months." Buck Pointed out
"Wait you were flirting with me?" Becca Questioned, looking at him.
"Yeah, I sometimes would but you never seemed to notice..or care. But come on guys I've changed." Buck Said
"Sure, you haven't. Yep, you're proof that real change is possible." Hen Said
"Guys.." Buck Said
Soon the station alarm rang signaling another call, Bobby, Hen and Chim all got up from the table walking past Buck.
"Becks come on you believe me right?"
"I believe Buck." She sends him a gentle smile, "I do." Becca Said
She patted his shoulder then walked down the stairs to meet up with everyone, Buck sighed then followed behind her.
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
Soon her last shift came to an end after running into the dead guy who they thought was dead, but really wasn't instead he's narcoleptic.
Becca then offered to pick Vince up from work, which he couldn't say no to. A couple minutes later the couple arrived at her house, parking the car and getting out.
"Home sweet home." Becca Said
"Mhm," He kissed her cheek, "So what's on the menu tonight?" Vince Asked, putting his arm over her shoulder.
"Hmm don't know but I'm thinking some chicken fajitas." Becca Suggested
"Ooh that sounds delicious." Vince Said
"It will because I'm cooking it." Becca Said
"I'll be the judge of it." Vince Said
"Oh trust me when you take a bite out of that fajita," She mimicked an explosion, "Your taste buds will be in heaven." Becca Said, smiling.
"God your so cute." Vince Said
He cupped her cheeks then leaned in as he kissed her, Vince felt Becca smile through it as she kisses him back then pulls away.
"Come on, the kids are waiting." Becca Said
She takes out her keys and unlocks the door entering the house, Becca sat her purse down on the console table as Vince hung his jacket up on the coat rack.
"Kids I'm home." Becca Said
"Mom we're in here!" Bryan Said
"Um is someone staying over?" Vince Asked, pointing over to the living room.
Becca looked to him then she followed his point, as she noticed two suitcases in her living room. She furrowed her brows as she couldn't think, to who's suitcases are those.
"Nope.." Becca Said
She and Vince then walked towards the dining room area, at the table sat Stacy and the kids and someone else who had their back to them.
"Hey, Becca." Stacy Said
"Hey, mommy." Dylan Said
"Hey, Um who's-" Becca Said
"Come on Rebecca you would think after 20 years of friendship, you would recognize me from behind." A female spoke
Becca's eyes widen at that familiar voice, the person turned around and it was Violet. The brunette smiled widen as they locked eyes.
"There's my favorite Latina." Violet Said
"Violet!" Becca Exclaimed
Violet got up from her seat and the two friends embraced tightly, she even picked Becca up off the ground a bit.
"Oh my god, when did you get here?" Becca Asked
"My flight landed at around 4:30 so I remember that your shift didn't end till 7. So I've been here all afternoon hanging around with my favorite god children." Violet Said
"She even bought us some Garrett Popcorn." Aryana Said
"And it's delicious." He picks up a handful of popcorn, "I can't get enough of it." Bryan Said
"Wait so are you spending a few days with us?" Becca Asked
"Kinda more like..I'm staying here, guess who's living in L.A now!" Violet Piped up
"What?" Becca Said, in shock.
"Yup." She glanced over at Vince, "And you must definitely be Vince." Violet Said
"Yeah, nice to meet you in person Violet." Vince Said, lending out his hand.
"Nice to finally meet you too, you definitely look even more handsome in person than on FaceTime." Violet Said, sending a small smile shaking his hand.
"Thanks, you look nice as well." Vince Said, nodding to her.
"So now that I've we've all greeted each other again, now can we please eat." Violet Said
Violet walked back towards the kids and began talking to them, as Becca looked at her best friend with lost words as there's so many things she wants to ask her.
A couple of hours later after dinner was over, Stacy left once helping Becca putting the kids down for bed. Becca walks Vince to the door, as he grabs his jacket off the coat rack.
"That was an interesting and fun dinner." Vince Said
"Yeah, so now you've met Violet..what do you think? Becca Asked
"She's..great I understand why you two are best friends. You guys just complement each other." Vince Said
"Thanks, oh and here's your second plate of my dinner." Becca Said, handing him a plastic container filled with food.
"Mm, this was very good." Vince Said
"Ah ha what did I say, I told you the taste would explode in your mouth." Becca Smirked
"Indeed it did, well I'm gonna head out I'll see you tomorrow." Vince Said, then kissed her.
"See you." Becca Said
She opened the door for him as he made his way out, as she closed the door behind him Becca made her way upstairs to her guest bedroom where Violet is seen unpacking.
"Unpacking already I see." Becca Said
"Yeah I packed a lot but I left most of my stuff back in Chicago. Oh well I can just buy some new stuff, when I eventually get my own apartment." Violet Said
"Right about Chicago..now that everyone is home and asleep. You want to tell me the real reason as to why you left Chicago?" Becca Asked
"Becks." Violet Said
"No don't Becks me and look it's not like I'm upset you're here, I'm really happy but..I'm gonna need the truth. We haven't spoken in what three weeks? And the last time we spoke you seemed very sad and confused what's going on Vi?" Becca Said
Violet stopped packing then let out a sigh, and turned to face her.
"Bryce and I...broke up." Violet Replied
"Oh no.." Becca Said
"Yeah, it finally happened...it's like the breakup was inevitable, we just tried and tried to avoid it but we couldn't...not anymore." Violet Said, sitting down on the bed.
"What did he say? More importantly what did you say?" Becca Asked, sitting down next to her.
"Remember what you said right, about us having a conversation on our relationship. Turns out we aired out everything we've been wanting to say to each other for a long time." Violet Said
"Which was?" Becca Said
"The truth...I asked Bryce if he still was in love with me, and he said the one thing I was dreading." Violet Said
"He said no didn't he," Violet nodded as she tried not to cry, "Aw Violet, come here." Becca Said, pulling her into a hug.
"Damn it I don't want to cry again, I've been cry for two weeks..I'm all cried out." Violet Said, wiping her tears away.
"I'm sorry." Becca Said, wiping a tear away.
"No it's fine..at least he was man enough to tell me the truth." Violet Said
"Your still love with him?" Becca Asked
"A little bit, Becca we've been together for three years I can't just turn that off quick. I'm gonna need some time, so that's why I decided that it was time to leave Chicago because it reminded me of him. Now L.A is going to be a fresh start for me, and I really need my best friend right now." Violet Said, as Becca took her hand and held it.
"And you have me I'm not going anywhere, but this isn't going to hold you back because you will get through this Violet." Becca Said, sending her a reassuring smile.
"I know I'm just gonna need some time, but in the mean time I could use the distraction. Which is why I can't wait to hit the nearest bar." Violet Said
"Oh I know a couple of good bars don't worry we're going to have some fun. And on second thought what about work?"
"Yeah my former captain recommended me to some fire departments out here such as Station 122
Station 132, Station 133 and Station 118.." Violet Said
"Oh my god please choose the 118, trust me you won't regret it. Everyone is so cool, you can finally meet my friends and Bobby!" Becca Said
"Hold on, hold on, I haven't decided yet because I haven't met with any of the captains yet. But I'll keep 118 in consideration." Violet Said
"Trust me it's the right choice." Becca Said, nodding to her.
"I'll have to see for myself." Violet Replied, smirking.
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
A couple days later Becca had to come in for a 24 hour shift with Chimney, Bobby and Hen. While Buck had the morning off, more and more women kept showing up at the station looking for him.
An hour earlier a woman named Brandy showed up, throwing rocks at the station. Becca and Chimney had to stop her and tell her what's going on.
Thankfully she believed them and quickly
apologized. Soon their shift was coming to an end, Becca sat down next to Chimney who's looking on his laptop.
"Man I'm exhausted, I could use a nap and foot rub." Becca Said, sighing taking her ponytail out rubbing her scalp.
"Well Lucky for you, you have someone to do that for you..must be nice." Chimney Said
"Aw don't worry Howard, there's someone out there for you." Becca Said
"Oh that someone had already came, and I've got a date with them this weekend. Stick that in your pipe and smoke it." Chimney Said, sending her a wink and blew a bubble with his gum.
"Ah look at you stud." Becca smiled
"Hey yo, Rebar!" Buck called out
Becca and Chimney looked as Buck stormed over, he didn't look to happy.
"Buck are you okay?" Becca Asked
"No. Chim come clean. This is you, right? Putting girls up to this, you think you're funny?" Buck Said
"You seriously think Chimney is the one catfishing all these girls?" Becca Questioned
"I don't know, he can answer that for himself." Buck Said
"You know what, Buck, I really wish it was me..." Chimney trailed on
"Okay, you wish, you wish." He moved around the couch, and sat down on the coffee table.
"But it's not." He Assured, "I bet if you updated
your relationship status on your Myspace page, it might clear up all of this confusion." Chimney Said
"Hey, who even uses Myspace?" Buck Said
"Yeah, I thought they shut that website down?" Becca Said
"Apparently not and oh, evidently, you do have one." Chimney Said
He turned the laptop around facing them, as Becca and Buck looked at the dating profile.
"The hell. That's my Facebook picture." Buck Said
"Yet another disappointed young lady came into the firehouse today. After Becca and I convinced her to stop shouting and throwing rocks, she showed me this." Chimney Said
"What's going on?" Buck Said
"Don't you get it? Some weirdo saw your B-movie star looks in the news, and thought pretending to be you would be a good lure to catfish the women of L.A." Chimney Said
"So I'm a-I'm a Yankees fan who loves Star Wars." Buck Said
"Uh, Star Wars prequels apparently." Becca Said, reading the bio on the page as Chim laughed.
"Hey, it's not funny. This is really messed up." Buck Said
"Yeah, it is, but come on, some dude doing the boring legwork, having hotties come to your door,
I mean, what, is that really that awful?" Chimney Questioned
"Look Abby is freaking out, this cannot keep happening. Who is he?" Buck Said
"Okay, your imposter's not that bright. He's already started exchanging e-mails with Brandy." Chimney Said
"Who's Brandy?" Buck Asked
"She was the angry girl throwing the rocks early, girls got a good arm I'll give her that." Becca Said
"And she's actually very smart and very cool, and who may or may not come to my place next week
to watch the game with us, so please, don't come.
The point is, if you know what you're looking for,
you can find the I.P. address in the header of the messages." Chimney Said, pointing to the screen.
"It Just looks like a bunch of random numbers." Buck Said
"Yeah, Buck, random numbers that we can trace to his actual address." Becca Said, looking to the boy.
Once their shift was done Becca and Chimney joined Buck on his hunt to find his imposter. The address led them to a trailer park area, once they got out of Buck's truck they moved towards the trailer.
"Hey! Hey, catfish! The jig is up." Buck Said, banging on the door.
"Easy, guy, now keep a cool head." Chimney Said
"This guy's a criminal. Come on, freak, we got your number. Open up." Buck Said, as he continued knocking on the door.
Becca then looked around and noticed the windows are dark and could barely see through them.
"Maybe he's not home." Becca Said
"LAFD! Come to the door!" Buck Shouted
"Must be a recluse, or a meth addict he's blacked out all the windows..Oh, geez." Chimney Said
"What is it?" Becca Wondered
She leaned close towards the window and grimaced as she saw several bugs covering the window.
"Oh, this is not gonna be pretty." Becca Said
"I'll call 9-1-1 we're gonna need a coroner." Chimney Said, taking out his phone.
Later the coroner showed up and opened up the Trailer, and they were all hit the overwhelming smell of death. The trio stood a few feet away wearing masks from the man who was pretending to be Buck, as he laid dead on the ground.
"How does this happen?" Becca Questioned
"My guess? Heart attack." Chimney Said
"It's kind of sad, you know? The coroner said he's probably been lying there ten days, but no one notices?
"The guy was a shut-in the park manager says, no one's seen him in, like, two years." Chimney Said
"Well, it's tragic." Becca Said
"Let's not forget, this was an online predator." Chimney pointed out
"Was he, though? It's not like he was tricking
women into hooking up. He never went out." Buck Said
"If he could even get out." Becca Said
"And why are you defending him?" Chimney Questioned
Buck pulled his mask down a bit, "I'm just saying.
It's kind of a bummer, you know? He hated himself so much he had to pretend to be someone else."
One of the guys in the hazmat suits approached them, "Don't get a lot of cases that bloat this much.
Body's probably double the size it was at time of death."
"How did he bloat up like that?" Buck Asked
"Bloat set in after rigor mortis, filled him with methane and CO2, along with decomposition fluids,
probably 'cause it's so hot in here, and he expired with a full stomach. I just don't know how
to get him out of here. We either got to knock
down this wall, or...roll this whole thing down to
the morgue." He explained
The trio looked outside where there's a group of people, with their cellphones out as the police holds them back.
"No. No." He shakes his head, "Okay, look, this guy may not have lived with much dignity, but maybe, he can still die with some. I mean, these people
are already treating him like he's a circus sideshow.
Now, let's not make it any more of a spectacle.
I know a way we can get him out of here in a body bag." Buck Said
"That's a great speech, but that would take hours." He Replied
"Why? You just drain all the gas and gunk and stuff." Buck suggested
"We would have to use large bore needles and start the embalming process here." He Said
"Okay, so let's do that." Buck Said
The guy sighed then stood to his feet letting out a sigh, "He's dead. He doesn't care if people are gawking at him. All right? He doesn't have
any feelings to hurt anymore."
"Listen..." Buck Said, getting in the guys face.
Becca see where this could go so she gets in between the two men, putting her hand against his chest backing him up.
"You are not about to beat up a coroner, now are you, Buck?" Becca Said
"No..of course not." Buck Said
He leaned over past Becca and reached inside the sink, picking up a knife.
"Whoa. Whoa, whoa, whoa." He Said
Buck would then lean down stab the guy in the gut, as the gas from his body would release as well as his bodily fluids.
"Nice work..Buck." Becca Said, moving towards Chimney.
"Yeah, I thought he was gonna pop." Buck Said, then she hands him a napkin to wipe his hands.
"I told you, draining him is going to take time." He Said
"What do you got, dinner reservations? Let's get to work, okay." Buck Said
The guy sighed then exited the trailer as he and his crew gathered their supplies, as the crew was at work Buck, Becca and Chim were all dressed in hazmat suits and wearing breathing masks.
The corner then begins the process of draining the guy, as the needles are being injected inside him soon he began to deflate. Chimney started to groan as the fluids drained into the tubs.
"Oh, God. Oh, my God." Chimney Said, trying to look away.
"Is that it? Is it done?" Becca Asked
"I think so.." He Said
Then the wound where Buck stabbed the guy at, squirts out some liquid as Chimney steps back grossly out.
"Oh, God! Oh, my God. Oh, God. Oh, no. No, no,
no. Oh, no. Oh, no." Chimney Said, shaking his head as he exited the trailer.
Once the process was done the corner's were ready to get her guy out, so Becca and Buck exited the trailer.
"All right, guys, clear a path. Come on." Becca Said
"Move back, please. Have a little respect." Buck Said
The corners wheeled him out on a stretcher then rolled him onto the truck, Chim walks over to the two.
"You okay Chimney, you looked really sick back there?" Becca Asked
"Yeah, I think I just puked out my lunch from earlier. So is he-" Chimney Said
"Yeah, they're taking him to the morgue." Becca Said
"Oh okay, good." Chimney Said
"Guys," He looks between the two, "Thank you."
"No problem." Becca Said, with a small smile.
"Nice job Buck, you did good." Chimney Said
The three of them turned to walk as the corner truck pulled off, Becca playfully nudged him as Buck laughed putting his arm over her shoulder as they approached Buck's Jeep.
