Fire Born (Firehouse 343)
“The men from A Platoon and the volunteers filling in for Calvin and Chris had all moved out into the garage to give them some privacy.
Whether by accident or design, Rick, Terry, Logan and Football appeared to have glued themselves together—they were like a big block of muscle, having moved their chairs to face her instead of sitting evenly around the table. Perhaps they were just making a statement of solidarity, perhaps they thought to intimidate her. If that were the case, then they were... in for a surprise, as growing up in her family (which was full of cops, firemen, lawyers, doctors, and the occasional Mafia hitman—or so the rumor went) had given Martie quite the backbone. No man had ever intimidated her, and she wasn’t about to let these four break that record.
As with Chris, she pulled out a digital voice recorder and asked them if they minded being recorded. They all agreed. This recorder was, of course, one of her spares, as she’d left the one she normally used with Chris the night before.MoreLess
