One of the crappiest shifts of firefighter John “Coop”
Cooper’s life took another nosedive when his lieutenant
caught him before he’d even had a chance to drop his
turnout gear after their latest run. With sooty sweat stinging
his eyes and his suspenders half-up/half-down, he sighed as
the LT curled his fingers, beckoning him over.
Coop knew exactly what this was about, and despite his
fatigue, his mind zipped through all the possible excuses he
could muster to escape.
“You’re the last one,
” Lieutenant Knox Triplett said, his
face hard and his hazel gaze narrowing on Coop.
It used to be that Coop cared about pleasing Knox. He’d
strove to be first to his gear and into the truck, first in the
door of a burning building, and was careful never to fuck up
a room-to-room search. He’d cared about being the best
firefighter he could be. But lately, he’d just been showing up,
going through the motions. Doing what he had to do to get
through the shift.
Knox had been patient, his gazes merciful and
sympathetic. But it looked as though he’d reached the end of
his rope so far as Coop was concerned.
Coop wished he could feel anger or shame. But all he
could muster was irritation. He wanted out of the station.
The shift was nearly over, and he had to dodge this bullet
one more time. “The last one? You sure about that?” Coop
asked, not bothering to look Knox in the eye.
Knox tapped his clipboard. “I asked for a hundred percent
cooperation with the internal investigation, with the NIOSH
assholes. Don’t know what it is with you guys. This should be
the easy part. The counselor’s here to help you.”
Coop raked a hand through his hair. “That’s the point, LT.
I don’t need his help. I’m tired of talking about it.”
A muscle tensed in the side of the LT’s jaw. “Let me make
this simple. If you don’t make time to see Russell, I’m
putting you on suspension.”
Coop cussed under his breath. By Knox’s stern tone, Coop
knew the LT wasn’t bluffing. “Where is he?” he grumbled.
“The conference room. Don’t bother showering. No more
stalling.” Finally, his stern expression eased. “Just get it over
with, Coop.
You’re not the only one who lost a friend. We’re
here for you.” He reached out and awkwardly patted Coop’s
shoulder and then tilted his head toward the corridor.
Compassion and firmness. The LT never slacked. He took his
job seriously.
