Mike and Chet,sitting at the table with the paper. Roy and Marco standing in front of the sink talking about the firemans ball coming up.Johnny sitting on the counter listening in on their conversation. Captain in the office at his desk doing paperwork.He was so deep in his work he didn't hear the front door open. "Hello." The soft voice spoke from the other side of the room. Captain looked up and saw a beautitful girl standing there in the door way. "Yeah uh...., hi....,Can I help you Ms.?"Stanley said fumbleing over his words as he stood up to greet her. "I hope so, my name is Amanda Cory,and I'm trying to find John Gage,Does he work here?"She said with an unsure look on her face. "Well yes........ yes he does, in fact he's here right now. Follow me and I will take you right to him."Captain replied still trying to speak Captain entered the kitchen while Amanda followed. "Gage, someone's here to see you." Stanley announced. Johnny looked up and there before him was the most beautiful girl he had ever layed eyes on. She had long blonde hair and she wore a pale pink sun dress that showed off her womanly curves, All Johnny could do is sit and stare with is mouth hanging open. Marco also had his mouth open while trying to take a sip of coffee.And in doing so, he poured the whole cup down his front. Chet glanced over his shoulder and noticed a pair of legs standing there behind him ,He too dropped his chin to the floor as did Stoker,Both men slowly moved their eyes up noticing her nice sized breasts which were hid by fabric. "Well say something you Twit."Stanley ordered walking up to Johnny smacking him up side the head. "Ouch." Johnny said rubbing his head then jumping off the counter. Johnny walked up to the girl that was standing there. "Hi...... um...... Hi." Johnny said falling over his every word. "John Gage isn't it?"She asked starring up at the tall dark haired man. "Yeah..... Um um...... yes that's right...... John Gage..... yes that is my name, but you can call me Johnny."Johnny replied looking down at his name tag to make sure he got his name right. "Hi,I'm Amanda." She replied while giggling at the man in front of her. "Well Hi Amanda,What can I do to, I mean what can I do for you?"Johnny asked still stumbleing over his words. "You do remember me,don't you?" "Uh well.......Yeah...... well... I a......." "I'm the girl that was in the accident on the Sanamonia overpass about four months ago, and you helped me." "Oh yeah, I remember you, sure I do,I'm just surprised to see you."Johnny replied as his words came easier. "Anyway I won't keep you from your work, I just wanted to stop by and say thanks for helping me. If it hadn't been for you guys I wouldn't be here." Amanda said looking around the room at her heros. "No problem, just doing are job." Johnny replied placing his right hand over his heart as if to keep it from leaping out of his chest. "Maybe to you guys it's just your job, but not for the person you help.You guys saved my life and I wont forget that." She replied. As she looked up at Johnny and he down at her,Their eyes met, and to Johnny she had the prettiest blue eyes he had ever seen. "Would you like a tour of the station?"Johnny asked trying to prolong her visit. "That depends on if you're the one to give me the tour."Amanda replied looking up at Johnny with a smile. Johnny placed his arm around her back as he guided her to the apparatus room. "There he goes again, laying on that Gage charm of his."Chet announced "Come on we can handle this."Stanley announced scanning room at the flushed faces of his crew. Just then Marco looked down and realized he had poured his hole cup of coffee on himself and the floor. "Well,clean it up you Twit."Stanley ordered tossing Marco a towel. "Then go change you shirt." Stanley added with a grin. ......... "So what do you do?"Johnny asked leaning on the back of the squad. "Well I just tranferred from the San Deigo Fire Department a few months ago. " Oh yeah, you're a fireman?" "Yeah well I'm a firefighter."Amanda giggled. "That's very interesting." "But for now I'm on a leave of absence so I can devote more time to my studies, So for now I'm working at Ryans resturant as a waitress."She explained also leaning against the squad. "What are yeah studying?"Johnny asked. "You're not going to believe this but I'm training at Rampart to be a Paramedic."Amanda answered as she smiled. "Oh yeah, that must be how Dixie knew who you were when we brought you in." "Yep, I know her very well. She's a very nice person." "That she is, boy talk about small world. Hey listen, if you ever need a study buddy,I'm your guy." Johnny replied with his famous smile. "Well I might have to take you up on that, since my accident I had to start class all over. It's hard working forty hours a week just to support myself and pay for my training and books, books I already paid for before the accident. Plus I'm going to class full time. But I guess I can't complain though Ms. McCall and Dr. Brackett are very understanding and supportive of me." Amanda said "I can understand that just remember I'm willing to help you." Johnny replied. "Thanks, I'll remember. Johnny can I ask you a question, How do you handle losing a victim?"Amanda asked looking up at Johnny. "All I can say is that we do our best, we can't save everyone, all we can do is try. Is it hard when we lose a patient? you bet its hard, but we have to pick ourselves up by the boot straps and go on. If we let it bother us we might as well throw the towel in." Johnny explained. "Well you did your best with me, Dr.Brackett said I was lucky."Amanda replied. "Yeah you were very lucky,I mean out of 15 people, 11 of them are dead and you came to close to being number 12." Johnny explained. "I don't even know what caused the wreck,do you?"Amanda asked looking down at the floor then up at Johnny. "Yes I do know, it was caused be a drunk driver."Johnny said seeing a tear form in her eyes "Hey would you like a cup of coffee?"Johnny asked trying to change the subject seeing that it bothered her to think about it. "Sure." Amanda replied as they headed for the kitchen. "Here have a seat, I'll get the coffee."Johnny offered . "Hi I'm Captain Stanley, this is Mike Stoker our Engineer,over there is fireman Chet Kelly and Marco Lopex and this is John's partner Roy DeSoto." "Hi." Amanda said shaking each of their hands before taking her seat They sat there at the table sipping there coffee and talking about the accident. "I don't know,somehow thank you just doesn't seem to be enough when you guys saved my life."Amanda said looking at the guys in the room. "Believe me it enough, its not to often someone goes out of their way to stop by and say thanks."Roy said "I guess your right but maybe I can do something to show my appreciation, maybe I can fix you guys a home cooked dinner,yeah that's it a dinner. I bet it's been along time since you guys had someone to cook for you."Amanda conntinued looking back at Johnny. "Well we appreciate the offer,but its not necessary." Johnny replied looking over at the Captain. "Why not?" Amanda asked as she too looked over at the Captain. Stanley feeling her blue eyes on him decided it was a good time to get up and get another cup of coffee "Well, why not?"Amanda repeated waiting for Stanley's answer. "You see Ms. Cory,we rescued a couple about two years ago, they too wanted to show there appreiation by cooking dinner. To make a long story short,that was the worst tasting stuff I had ever eaten. I think it was Baked Trout, and that stuff was tougher then the sole of my shoe."Captain Stanley explained. "Yeah, It took me about a month to get the taste out of my mouth." Chet added. "Come on that was them not me, you've got to give me a chance.I promise no Baked Trout, come on Please."Amanda pleaded looking up at the Captain. "Okay, if you really want to do this, okay." Stanley said feeling himself cave in. "Great." Amanda replied getting up and walking over to the Captain giving him a peck on the cheek. "So what day would be best for you?"Amanda asked looking up at Stanley with her big blue eyes. "Saturday would be good for us, if it's good for you."Captain replied. "Great, Saturday it is."Amanda replied then looking at her watch she added "I didn't reallize it was so late, I've got to get to work." As she walked to the door she stopped and looked back at Johnny and said softly."You know something Mr.Gage, I'm almost glad I was in that accident.Otherwise, we might never have met, Surpose it's destiny." "Maybe."Johnny replied giving her back a warm smile while getting up from the table."Here I walk you out." ..... "Way to go Capt, sure didn't take you long to cave in."Chet announced looking at his blushing Captain. "Hey,I'm still the Captain ya know." Stanley replied rubbing his cheek where it had been kissed. "Yeah we know Capt,Captain Pussy Cat." Marco added with a grin. .... "So I'll see you Saturday then?"Johnny asked looking down at the girl next to him. "Yeah,.I'll be here around 9:30, if thats okay." "That sounds great."Johnny replied with a smile. .....The next day..... Amanda walked into the class room to find Dr.Brackett and Dixie standing in the front of the room. Amanda sat at her desk waiting for class to begin. As she sat there her mind wondered back on Johnny. Maybe I'll run into him today. Oh what's wrong with you, you just met the guy yesturday, Amanda thought to herself. Before she had a clue is to what time it was the bell rang for lunch "Ms.Cory, can I see you for a minute?"Dixie asked. "Sure, is there something wrong?"Amanda asked walking up to Dixie. "No nothing is wrong, I just couldn't help but notice that you seem to be a million miles away. I just wondered if there was something wrong or something I can help you with."Dixie explained. "No there's nothing wrong, I was just thinking of something that's all."Amanda replied. "Oh okay just checking,come on I'll buy you a cup of coffee."Dixie concluded as they both headed to the cafateria. ....... Hmm, thinking of something more like thinking of someone.Oh well it's not my fault, Johnny's the one with those dark brown eyes. Anyway I might have to take him up on his offer if I keep thinking of him like this, Amanda thought grinning at her thoughts Amanda was so wrapped up in her thoughts of Johnny that she didn't hear Dr.Brackett or Dr. Early say hi as they passed her in the hall, Nor did she know she had passed the doorway to the cafateria. As she turned and realized what she had done, Dixie was standing there. Standing in the doorway Dixe remarked "Oh he must be real fine." with a smile. "That he is." Amanda thought ...........Four days Later.......... Four days had passed and Johnny too was having a hard time as well. All he could do was think about the dinner that was planned for tomorrow. I can't wait to see her,Johnny thought grinning from ear to ear. "What's so funny Junior?"Roy asked while turning off the squad . "What, I didn't hear you,What Roy?"Johnny asked looking at his partner with a dumb founded look on his face "Nothing, I just was wondering what was so funny that's all, you're sitting there as if you were thinking of something funny, I was wondering if you would share the joke with me." "No,Nothing funny, I was just thinking that's all." Johnny replied trying to hold a straight face, but it was no use for he found himself smiling again. .... Johnny sat at the table still grinning and in deep thought. "What's up with him?"Chet asked looking Johnny then at Roy. "Yeah, he looks like the cat that swallowed the Canary."Marco said looking at Johnny. "Don't ask me he's had the goofy grin on his face all morning."Roy said "Hey Junior,Coffee?"Roy asked pouring himself a cup. "What Roy,What did you say?"Johnny asked looking up at his partner. "I asked you if you wanted a cup of coffee."Roy repeated. "Oh no thanks." Johnny replied still in deep thought. Without thinking Johnny got up and got himself a cup of coffee. "What do you think you're doing?"Roy asked with a puzzled look "What does it look like I'm doing, I'm getting a cup of coffee." "But I just asked you if you wanted a cup and you said no." "Oh,You did ?"Johnny asked starring at his partner with a blank look "Yeah I did."Roy replied as his puzzled face turned into a grin. "If you ask me your partner's twitter paitted, at least that's what Thumper would say."Stoker said with a grin watching Johnny make a fool out of himself "Boy he's got it real bad this time."Chet remarked walking over to the couch. "What does he got?"Captain Stanley asked taking eyes off the paper. "Well Cap,you may want to get in touch with Vince Howard and see if he can put out an APB on the naked little baby that shot my partner in the back side."Roy commented . "What Roy,What?"Johnny asked missing everything that was being said around him. "Nothing Junior,Nothing."Roy replied rolling his eyes then walking out to the bay Just then the Klaxon sounded. "Station 51,woman trapped inside stocking,926 Edgewood, 926 Edgewood,between Crammor and East, time out15:50." "Station 51, KMG 365."Stanley responded "Man this sounds like a strange one, how does a lady get shuck in a pair of pantyhose?"Johnny asked "I don't know."Roy replied ............. When they arrived,Captain Stanley stepped out of the Engine and headed to the front door as his men followed. "Hello, this is Captain Stanley of the LA County Fire Department,.Can you hear me?" "Yes I can hear you, please help me."A voice replied from inside the house. "Okay ma'me, just hold on,"Stanley said trying to open the door " Ma'me the door is locked, is there a key that we can use?" Captain asked. "No, just brake the glass and hurry." Chet took off his helmet and hit the glass,then reached his hand through to unlock the door. The men walked in and saw a middle aged woman dressed in a green robe gasping for air. "Are you hurt?"Roy asked walking up to the woman. "No."The lady replied still gasping for breath. "Well, what seems to be the problem?"Johnny asked looking at the lady. The woman then opened her robe just enough to show the firemen her problem.She somehow managed to put on a stocking that was about five sizes to small.The men just stood there looking at each other wondering which one of them would start laughing first. "Stoker,and Kelly help the lady sit over in that chair."Stanley ordered realizing his men was having just as much hard time with the situation as he was. Stoker and Kelly helped the lady in the chair as the Captain ordered. John and Roy then knelt down at her sides.Johnny then pulled a pair of nippers out of his back pocket "Hold on ma'me,we'll have you out of those in a jiffy."Johnny said while searching for a good place to start cutting. "Why don't you start at the stocking between her toes, make a small slit then just work your way up her leg." Roy suggested "Okay it's worth a shot. Anyway you seem to know how to get women out of pantyhose,after all you're married."Johnny remarked grinning at his blushing partner. John then did what his partner suggested,Starting between toes and working his way up her leg. As soon as John got to her theigh,Roy bent over to check the leg for injuries, Just as he bent over the stocking snapped up. "OUCH,DAMN IT",Chet screamed holding his eye. "What happened, are you okay?"Johnny asked getting up then walking over to the injured firefighter. "What happened you asked? the damb thing hit me in the eye, that's what happened.The damb thing just snapped me in the eye like a rubber band."Chet screamed holding his eye. "Okay,okay let me have a look."Johnny suggested as they both sat on the couch. "How does it look?"Chet asked "Oh it don't look to bad, but you wont be winking your eye for a little while." "Oh yeah your a real funny guy ain't you, really how does it look?" "It doesn't look to bad, but we better contact Rampart." Johnny replied. "Cap,Hand me the biophone, would ya?"Johnny asked while taking Chet's vitals "Right." Stanley replied reaching for the Biophone. "Rampart, this is County 51, how do you read?"Johnny announced into the phone. "We read you loud and clear 51." Dr.Early answered as Dixie stood there beside him. "Rampart we have a code I. The injury is the result of being hit in the eye with a womans pantyhose."Johnny explained. "51, could you repeat that?" Dr.Early requested while he and Dixie looked at each other in confussion "Rampart,we have a firefighter who was hit in the eye with a ladies pantyhose."Johnny repeated himself. "10-4 51,Do you have a set of vitals?"Dr.Early asked while he and Dixie struggled to keep from laughing. "Rampart, the vitals are BP,110 over 70,.pulse is 94,and the resparations are 16." Johnny announced hearing the chuckles in the back ground coming from Dixie. As Dr.Early gave into laughter he said"10-4 51, cover injured eye and transport."wiping the tears from his eyes. "Don't get an ambulance for this." Kelly said still holding his battered eye. "Now look,you're going to Rampart to get checked out." John ordered. "Fine but can I ride with you and Roy in the squad please." Kelly pleaded. "Okay." Johnny said helping Chet off the couch "Well your leg seems fine,but if you have any problems you should go see your Dr." Roy suggested getting up and walking to the door. "Thanks I will."The lady replied. Roy then went outside to meet the rest of the guys. "Why don't you two take Kelly to Rampart to get looked at,, we'll remain out of service until you three return."Captain ordered. "Okay."Roy replied as the three men climbed into the squad. "Hey Roy, how do you surpose we write this one in the log book?"Johnny asked looking over at his partner. "I don't know." Roy replied looking over at Chet's covered eye "I never thought I would see the day when a man gets a black eye from a womans pantyhose."Johnny remarked "How do you think I feel? Man I never even saw it coming." Chet said "Oh by the way, they're not pantyhose,They're stockings."Roy replied. "What?"Johnny asked. "They're not pantyhose,they're stockings. See pantyhose is one piece with a crotch and a stocking is two piece and only goes up the leg." Roy explained. "Well I'll damned ,you learn something new everyday." Johnny remarked looking out the window. "Well, I don't care how you guys write it down in the log, just don't mention my name, my eye, or the pair of pantyhose."Chet replied. "I told ya, they're stockings not pantyhose." Roy said correcting Chet. "Whatever,just don't mention them okay."Kelly pleaded. "Well Chet,you can be glad of one thing."Johnny announced. "Oh yeah, what's that?"Chet asked. "Well, at least she only had the one on and not both."Johnny replied looking at Kelly's black eye. "Oh, that makes me feel so much better." Kelly remarked rolling his one good eye Before long the sqaud was filled with laughter of the three men. ........ When they arrived back at the Station, B shift was already there. "So How's the eye?"Stanley asked looking at the black eyed firefighter. "Oh there's no damage, I'll just be wearing this black eye for awhile. Anyway Penny can kiss my ouchie." Chet said sith a grin. "Yeah and if you're lucky, she'll kiss a little more." Johnny replied with a grin all his own. tbc |
