"Hey, what did you find out?" Stella asked when Kelly and Matt got back to the station. "The fire was started by an explosion in the chemistry laboratory. Somebody mixed some chemicals together that caused a chemical reaction," Matt explained. "And Dean was just in the wrong place at the wrong time." Kelly said. "Any news from Dean yet?" Shay asked. "No." Kelly said, shaking his head. Kelly and Matt then went to the chief's office and told him what they had learned. "And what do you think?" Boden asked when they had finished talking. "Honestly, I don't know." Kelly said. "I think someone thought it was funny and Dean was just in the wrong place at the wrong time." Matt said. "All right, then write everything you noticed in the reports, I also tell Stella and Otis that they should write down everything they noticed." Boden said. Kelly and Matt nodded and left the office. Matt wrote the report in Kelly's office. "There's one thing I can't get out of my head what Dean said this morning." Kelly said. "What is it?" Matt asked. "Dean really wanted to stay with me today, but I talked him out of it. Maybe I should have let him stay home today." Kelly said. "Hey, you mustn't blame yourself now. Dean is fine and that's the main thing." Matt tried to cheer him up. "Yes, you're right." Kelly said, and they both finished their reports. At the same time, Otis and Stella came to Kelly's office to deliver their version of the call. Otis brought the reports to Chief Boden, and Matt, Kelly, and Stella stayed in the office. Outside, Shay and Brett cleaned the ambulance and checked the supplies. «Hello? » they suddenly heard a voice say and when they turned around, 2 boys were standing in front of them. "Hey, can we help you?" Shay asked. The two boys looked at each other. "Is Dean's brother here?" one of the boys asked. Brett and Sylvie looked at each other and then led the two to Kelly's office. "Kelly, these two guys wanted to talk to you." Sylvie said. "Have a seat then." Kelly said. The two boys sat down on the bed next to Matt. "How can I help you?" Kelly asked. "We're friends of Dean, I'm James and this is Julian." James said, a little shyly. "How is Dean?" Julian asked. "He's fine so far, it will take a while to recover, but he'll be fine." Kelly smiled. The two boys nodded. "Look, can you tell us what exactly happened?" Matt asked. «No, we were upstairs and took our school books from our lockers. Dean had to go to the toilet and because the toilets in the entrance area are currently being refurbished, we have to go to the basement. All of a sudden there was an explosion." James explained. "There's something else." Julian said, nudging James. "What is it?" Kelly asked. "Did Dean tell you what happened at school?" James asked. The others laughed. "Okay, 1. My name is Kelly, that's Matt, Stella, Sylvie and Leslie and 2. Yes, Dean told us what's going on." Kelly said. "Our parents will send us to a new school after the summer break, and now I thought Dean might change schools too." James explained, handing Kelly a flyer from the new school.
