Katie walks into the firehouse holding hands with Peter. 51 comes out. 
Herman: Hey there they are. 
Katie smiles. 
Katie: Hey guys. 
Mouch: Welcome back. How was your vacation?
Mills: Enjoyable. 
Boden pats her back. 
Boden: Welcome back Kate Peter. 
Katie: Thanks. 
She looks through the crowd. Kelly is no where in sight. Casey walks over. 
Casey: Katie hey have you seen Kelly?
Katie: No not yet why? 
Gabby: He hasn't shown up to work for the past few weeks. 
Casey: He hasn't been answering my phone calls either. 
Gabby looks at him. 
Katie: What's going on? 
Gabby looks at Casey. 
Gabby: I'm so sorry Katie. Shay passed away on a call right after you left. 
Katie: Shays gone!? What do you mean? 
Casey: There was an explosion caused by an arsonist in the warehouse we were in. A beam came down on top of her. She didn't make out. 
Gabby: We didn't want to call and ruin your vacation. We knew you needed it. 
Katie breaks down in tears. 
Katie: Shay was murdered?
Gabby: We are so sorry Katie. 
Katie: Oh my god. 
She puts her head into her hands. She looks back to the sky tears streaming down her face. Gabby hugs her. 
Gabby: I'm sorry this is not the news I'm sure you wanted to hear first day back. 
Katie steps back wiping her eyes. 
Katie: Um how long has Kelly been missing? 
Casey: Since her funeral. 
Katie takes a deep breath. 
Katie: Matt the cabin you and Kelly stayed at during the summer. Where is that at? 
Casey pulls up with her. Kelly is sitting outside with sunglasses on sipping a beer. Katie and him get out and walk over. 
Katie: What are you doing?
Kelly: I'm having a cold beer and listening to the sounds of nature. When did you get back?
Katie: Last night. 
Kelly: You want one?
Katie: No I don't. 
She grabs the one in his hand and dumps it out. 
Kelly: Hey!! What was that for?
She lifts the recycling can lid. The thing is filled with bottles. 
Katie: Kelly what the hell!? 
She goes over and takes his sunglasses off. His eyes are blood shot. 
Katie: What are you doing!? You look like you haven't slept in weeks. 
Kelly: I can't sleep. 
Katie: Why not? 
Tears come to his eyes. 
Kelly: Because everytime I close my eyes I see my best friend dead on the floor! I had to watch her lifeless body get picked up and put on a stretcher knowing she wasn't coming back home that night! 
Katie: So you'd rather hide from the world?
Kelly: Yes. 
Katie: Shay wouldn't want this. And don't tell me she would be ok with this!! 
He stands up and gets in front of her. 
Kelly: What do you know about losing someone? At least I take the time to grieve and not brush off the fact that someone I loved is gone. 
Katie: Actually I have a pretty good idea what losing someone I love feels like. Did you forget or something that we just went to Als funeral oh I don't know less than a month ago!? Oh I'm sorry I've never been distraught over losing someone! Sitting here and drinking is eating you alive Kelly. Shay doesn't want you to grieve over her. Yes she's gone and we can't get her back. Nothing will ever be the same. And I know you're hurt and that's ok. I'm hurt too. Hurt that she is gone forever and I didn't get to say goodbye.
