When I saw Isabel on the scene, part of me wanted to grab her, but after the day we’d had and the continued burning of the building in front of us, I barely had a moment to acknowledge her. Brian had asked me to take over the scene so he could go talk to the detectives. I was guessing the guy with her was her partner, and I couldn’t help but wonder what their relationship was. He probably wanted to fuck her. Who wouldn’t? Not that it was any of my business, really.

I took over the scene for the remainder of the incident, which kept me busy, and I ended up losing track of Brian as well as the detectives. We finally got the fire under control, and as it started to die out, I could feel my body doing the same. Even in good shape, it was exhausting to fight fire, let alone three fires in one day, and I could feel my muscles begin to ache. Jo and Jax had been assigned to operations earlier, and when the fire was under control, a new team took over, and they made their way to me.

“Hey, where’s the chief?” Jo asked. She never called him Brian on a scene, which was funny to me. It was completely professional, just always amused me.

“He is talking to the cops over there somewhere,” I waved in the direction I had last seen them.

Jax rose an eyebrow of suspicion. “Is there something particularly suspicious about this fire? Or is the fact we’ve been running our asses off today at what looks to be three arsons in a day?” He did always have a way of simply putting it all out there, calling attention to the elephant in the room.

“I’d say it’s the latter, but I didn’t ask.” I figured Brian would tell me what he wanted me to know. Even though we were brothers and we were close, it wasn’t my place to question things at work, unless I had what I thought may be an alternative way to operate on a scene or something. I respected authority. While every chief had their own style, and Brian was much different than Jack, he was extremely competent, was one of the best firefighters I’d ever met, my brother or not, and a fire department frankly runs more smoothly when the Chain of Command is kept intact.

Jax and I were both Lieutenants and had both been asked to apply for the Deputy Chief position, although neither of us had yet. I really didn’t know if I wanted that additional responsibility. Well, I mostly didn’t want the additional paperwork ruining my fun as a firefighter. I enjoyed the thrill of riding the truck, fighting fire, and going inside, that kind of thing. As a Lieutenant, I still got to ride the fire trucks, I got to actually fight fire, and I still got the perks of teaching new guys and contributing to budget requests and expenses based on what we as firefighters needed.
