Bobby and Hen walked out of the nursing home, and Bobby grabbed his ringing phone...
Bobby: "Chief, what's going on?"
The next morning, Bobby visited Ashleigh in the hospital, and they walked out of the room...
"You sure it's okay to be walking around like this?" Asked Bobby.
"Yeah, they want me up and moving. You know it's better for the blood flow in my legs. Seriously, if I'm not being poked or they're not testing me, they're making me walk." Ashleigh said.
"So all that testing, do they have any theories yet as to what caused the clots?" Asked Bobby.
"Uh, not yet, but the meds are working. You know they're finally sending me home tonight. Oh, hey, um, do I need the hospital to sign some kind of form or anything, you know, for the Department? My clearance?" Ashleigh asked.
"Um... but you're not... you're not cleared, Ash. Not yet." Bobby says.
"What... yeah... no... I... I passed my physical and my recertification test. I've got everything I... I need." Ashleigh says, frowning at Bobby.
"It's the blood thinners. Department is concerned about liability issues, and since the doctors haven't figured out what's causing the clots..." Bobby muttered.
"Uh... I can't come back to work?" Ashleigh asked.
"Well, Ash, if we were out on a call and something happens to you..." Bobby murmured.
"Then I would have two paramedics, including myself, standing next to me. I would be fine! Bobby, you... you know how hard I have worked for this. They can't... they can't do this to me. You... you can't let them take away my job." Ashleigh tells Bobby
"Hey, we're not. You were injured in the line of duty, and no one is forgetting that. Chief Alonzo thinks that in a few weeks, if you're doing okay on the meds, he can clear you for light duty." Bobby said.
"Light duty? Uh... you mean like a desk job?" Ashleigh asked.
"Now, listen, Ash, I..." Bobby says.
"Out there in the world, helping people. That's where I belong. That is where I have spent five months fighting to get back to. And now you're gonna tell me I... I can't?"
"Listen, Ash, I know this is hard, but at least light..." Bobby mumbled.
"No, I don't want light duty, okay? And in all honesty, neither would you. I guess they were always right after all." Ashleigh said, shaking her head and looking down. "No, you and nobody are not putting me behind a desk."
Bobby stared at Ashleigh.
"I quit. Thank you." Ashleigh said, turning around and walking away from Bobby.
Bobby signed heavily, standing there alone.
A week had gone by, and Buck was in the gym punching a punch bag...
