"UP HERE!"
Boden and Severide lookup. Shaylynn is standing on the roof holding her coat.
Severide yells up to her, "YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE TO REPEL DOWN!"
"I CAN'T!" Shaylynn yells back.
"OTIS! GET THE LADDER OVER TO SHAYLYNN!" Boden tells him.
Otis starts maneuvering the ladder over to where Shaylynn is.
Severide starts climbing up the ladder while Otis is moving it so he'll be almost to the top when the ladder gets there.
The ladder finally reaches Shaylynn and Severide is at the top.
"Here! Hurry up and take my coat! The roof is getting ready to go!" Shaylynn tells Severide.
Severide hurries and grabs her coat. He feels something moving inside.
He moves down so Shaylynn can get on the ladder. Just as she gets on, the roof collapses.
Severide starts backing down with Shaylynn following him.
"What's in your coat?" Severide asks her.
"Twins" Shaylynn tells him.
They reach the bottom. Severide opens Shaylynn's coat, sure enough staring back at him are twin boys. He takes them over to the ambulance. The lady and man who were brought out of the house start crying. Relieved to see that their babies are safe.
"Thank you so much for saving our sons!" the man tells Severide.
Severide looks at them, "It wasn't me, it was my wife."
The man and woman stare at him.
Severide points over to Shaylynn who's sitting on Trucks bumper drinking a bottled water.
"We need to get them to the hospital" Brett tells Severide.
Severide nods and gets ready to shut the doors.
"Please thank your wife for us" the man tells Severide with a smile.
Severide smiles back, "I sure will!"
Over by Truck, Boden is talking to Shaylynn.
"Where's your mask, tank, and helmet?" he asks her.
"I would say all of it is in the basement now. My helmet fell off when I was going up the staircase to the roof. The closer I got to the roof, it seemed the ceiling became lower and lower. I wasn't going back for it. My mask and tank I took off when I needed my coat for the babies. I couldn't find anything big to wrap them both in."
Boden looks at her and smiles, "Good job, Shaylynn!"
The crew returns to the Firehouse.
"Three babies in one day. Is something trying to tell you something, Shaylynn?" Herrmann asks her.
Shaylynn looks at him, "I sure hope not! I think it's more like putting me in the right place at the right time."
Another call comes in for another house fire. Everyone turns back around and heads back to the trucks.
When they get to the call it's actually not a house fire, but a big pile of wood has been set on fire.
Since Shaylynn doesn't have any of her equipment she stays back. She's looking around (old habits are hard to break) while everyone else is doing what they need to do.
There's a crowd that's formed to watch the Firefighters, but someone in the crowd seems out of place.
Shaylynn keeps her eyes on him while watching the others work. She looks back over to the crowd, the guy's gone.
She gets this unsettling feeling that something's wrong, bends over, reaches into her boot and takes her gun from her ankle holster. She stands up and walks around looking for the guy who's given her this feeling. Shaylynn starts walking over to where the fire crew is.
"ALDERMAN CASEY!" someone shouts.
Casey turns around as Shaylynn looks to see who yelled, it's the guy! She notices he has a gun in his hand and is walking toward Casey.
Shaylynn starts running toward Casey as the guy raises his arm and points the gun at him.
She reaches Casey just in time. As she stops in front of him, the other guy fires a shot and hits her in the shoulder. Shaylynn takes aim and hits the guy in a leg, he falls to the ground.
She hurries over to the guy and tells him to let go of his gun. He does and she kicks it away from him.
Everyone is in shock with what just happened!
Boden radios that they need two ambulances and notifies the police of the gunman who is being detained by Shaylynn.
Severide runs up to Shaylynn to check on her.
She looks at him, "I'm fine! Just don't get to close! Who knows what he might try to do."
The ambulances show up. The paramedics get out and head over.
"Don't touch him! Wait until the police have a chance to search him to make sure he has nothing else!"
They do as Shaylynn says. Two police cars show up along with Hank. They rush over and get the guy to his feet. After frisking him, they found he had a knife. He's put in handcuffs then the paramedics look at his leg. Since the gunman is finally in cuffs, the other set of paramedics get Shaylynn over to their ambulance. They stop the bleeding and look at her shoulder.
The fire crews head over to the ambulance Shaylynn's at. They all look at her in shock.
"Don't worry, I'm going to be okay!" she tells them.
"Shaylynn, I really don't know what to say. Saying thank you seems so little compared to what you did for me." Casey tells her.
"Casey, there is no need for that! Old habits die hard. No matter what, I'll protect everyone in this Firehouse."
The paramedics tell them they have to get Shaylynn to the hospital. Severide starts to get up in the ambulance.
"What do you think you're doing?" Shaylynn asks him.
"I'm going to the hospital with you!" he tells her.
"No you're not! You're staying here with your crew! You can't be leaving everytime something happens to me. I'll be fine! This is nothing. I've been shot in the shoulder before, so I know what's going to happen. Come to the hospital when you can, okay."
"Can I at least give you a kiss?" he asks.
Shaylynn smiles, "Yes! That you can do!"
Severide gives her a kiss and then backs out of the ambulance. He shuts the doors, the ambulance drives off while Severide watches.
Casey pats Severide on the back.
"A piece of me dies everytime I see her go into an ambulance and watch it pull away without me" Severide tells Casey.
"Let's hurry up and get everything taken care of so you can head to the hospital."
Everything is cleaned up, equipment is put back and everyone heads back to the Firehouse, except Squad.
Cruz pulls the Squad truck into the hospital parking lot. Severide jumps down and heads for the doors. When he reaches them, Jay Halstead is also walking into the hospital.
"Hey Kelly!"
"Jay. You here working a case?"
"Hank called me. He wants me to talk to Shaylynn about the gunman. The guy just didn't try to shoot a Fireman, but a public official. Plus it wasn't smart of him to shoot Shaylynn." Halstead tells Severide.
"Where is Hank?" Severide asks.
"He's with the guy. As soon as the doctor tells Hank he can leave the hospital, Hank is taking him to the District."
Dr. Rhodes sees Severide and Halstead. He walks over to them.
"Kelly, Shaylynn's over there."
He points to Cell 3.
Severide looks at him surprised.
"I figured she would be up in surgery getting the bullet out."
"She wouldn't go! She told me if I'm so good, I can get the bullet out in the ED. So I gave her a local, took the bullet out, patched her up and she's been waiting on you to come and get her."
Halstead looks at Severide, "She's a lot like Hank! Really stubborn!"
Severide shakes his head in agreement.
"How long will it be before she can work again?" Severide asks Dr. Rhodes.
"Six weeks."
Shaylynn looks out the cell and sees Severide talking to Dr. Rhodes. She walks out and over to them.
"I'm ready to go!" she tells Severide.
"Did Dr. Rhodes say you could leave?" he asks her.
Shaylynn looks over at Dr. Rhodes, "I'm not going to stop you" he tells her.
She looks at Halstead, "Hank send you to talk to me?"
"Yes, but we can do it later."
"If you don't mind coming to the Firehouse, I'll talk to you there" Shaylnn tells him.
Halstead agrees.
Shaylynn signs her release forms, then heads out of the hospital with Severide and Halstead.
Halstead heads to his car, while Severide and Shaylynn head to the Squad truck.
"Did you guys miss me?" she asks Capp, Cruz, and Tony with a smile as she climbs up into the truck.
"Yes! Severide's a grouch when you're not around and beats us!" Capp tells her smiling.
Cruz and Tony start laughing.
Severide gives them a look.
"How long you off?" Tony asks her.
"Six weeks" Shaylynn says with a frown.
"I'm sure Chief will find something for you to do" Cruz says.
"I don't know. Guess I will have to wait and see. First day officially working for the Fire Department and I get hurt. They might see me as a liability."
"You saved Casey!" Tony tells her.
"Only time will tell."
They arrive back at the Firehouse.
Squad crew walks into the common area, Shaylynn following them.
Dawson stands up and quickly walks over to Shaylynn, throwing her arms around her giving her a huge hug. Shaylynn puts her arms up and hugs Dawson back while making a face from the pain.
"Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!" Dawson tells Shaylynn.
Casey sees Shaylynn's face and goes to say something, but Shaylynn gives him a look so he keeps his mouth shut.
It dawns on Dawson that she might be hurting Shaylynn and backs up.
"Oh, Shaylynn I'm sorry!"
Shaylynn looks at Dawson, "I'm fine!"
Boden looks at Shaylynn, "How long does the doctor have you off?"
"Six weeks."
Everyone is looking behind Shaylynn. She turns around and sees Hank and Halstead standing in the doorway.
"If it would be alright Chief, I would like to talk to you, Casey, and Shaylynn in your office."
Boden nods and starts walking toward Hank. Casey stands up as Boden passes and follows him, with Shaylynn following Casey. Hank joins in behind Shaylynn.
"How you doing?" he asks Shaylynn.
"I'm doing good, thanks. Getting shot always reminds me why I was a sniper. It hurts like a mutha......" they reach the offices, so Shaylynn watches what she says on a count of Connie not liking that kind of language.
They walk into Boden's office, Hank shuts the door behind him.
"Casey wasn't the only Alderman who was targeted. Another was shot by a different gunman and is in critical condition. Since Casey insists on being a Fireman along with being an Alderman, with this incident he's going to need protection."
"So he's going to have a police officer following him around?" Boden asks Hank.
"No, he's going to have Shaylynn."
Casey and Shaylynn look at each other.
"She'll be here during the day and then be with him at any benefits he has to attend" Hank tells Boden.
"Wait! Benefits? Looks like I'll have to go shopping" Shaylynn says.
Hank just looks at her.
"Do you think I have clothes for attending benefits? That would be a NO!"
"I have to go. I need to get something set up for the other Alderman. The doctors say he has a good chance, so I want to be prepared for when he gets out of the hospital. You're in good hands Casey!"
Casey smiles while looking at Shaylynn, "I know that! She's already saved me. I hope she doesn't have to do it again."
Hank turns to Shaylynn, "Stay safe out there, okay!"
"I will! You do the same!"
Hank gently gives her a hug and walks out of Boden's office.
"You two better get out there and let Dawson and Severide in on what's going on" Boden tells Casey and Shaylynn.
Both of them walk out of Boden's office and head to the common area.
Boden was right. As soon as Dawson and Severide see Casey and Shaylynn they start grilling them.
"Shaylynn is going to be my security" Casey tells everyone.
"So she's going to be your bodyguard" Herrmann says.
"There's only one body she guards and that's Severide's!" Casey says smiling.
Everyone starts laughing.
"She'll also be protecting Gabby and Louie. Not just me."
Shaylynn goes to the freezer to get some ice to make a ice pack for her shoulder.
Susan Weller, Casey's Political Consultant, walks in. Dawson stands up and walks back to where Shaylynn is.
"Oh Casey! Thank goodness you're alright! I was informed that you're now having someone as security, but wasn't told who."
"It's Shaylynn" Casey tells Susan while pointing back to Shaylynn who Dawson is standing by.
Susan sees Dawson standing by Shaylynn and isn't thrilled about Shaylynn being close friends with Dawson.
"Oh no! That just won't do! I'll get you REAL security!" Susan says while pulling out her cell phone.
Shaylynn gives Susan a dirty look, goes to walk around the counter when Dawson stops her. Shaylynn looks back at Susan and sticks her tongue out at her. Some of the crew let out little snickers.
"Susan, NO! My security is Shaylynn! Hell, she's already taken a bullet for me! Plus who is working for who here?"
