Captain Maya Bishop groaned as she heard the klaxon horn sound go off again just as they came back from an intense call. Today has been a very busy day, everyone was exhausted call after call, all they wanted was their shift to be over so they can rest.

Lieutenant Andy Herrera saw how stressed and exhausted Maya was when she climbed onto the engine so they can go on their way towards their designated location.

 "Hey, how is the bride to be feeling about her wedding next week?" Andy asked attempting to lighten up the mood a little. Maya reciprocated with a little smile and responded "Kinda nervous and excited, Jack has been so excited as well, can't wait".

"I never thought 'Maya monogamy is for the weak bishop' would get married next week, I still remember when you said it while we were day drinking shots on my porch" Andy said with a chuckle.

"Come on let's go." Maya said as she jumped off and ran to the scene.

The fire turned out to be a four-alarm fire as there was an explosion in a hospital a few blocks down, Grey-Sloan Memorial Hospital was one of the top hospitals in Seattle and seeing it in this condition has worried Maya because she knew Ben's wife was the Chief of Surgery of the hospital.

Fortunately Chief Miranda Bailey was standing outside of the hospital with a lot of the patients set up in triage in order to check for injuries as a leaked gas canister exploded which caused the rest of the canisters to follow in suit in the OB/GYN wing of the hospital.

Ben rushed to his wife's side and made sure she was okay, everyone was relieved as they were able to rescue all of the patients and staff and no one was severely harmed except for smoke inhalation, so everyone as well as the firefighters were resting in the triage area with their oxygen masks happy that there were no casualties and that their shift is over after they go back to the station after spending hours controlling the fire.

Captain Maya Bishop noticed a doctor with red hair pacing around nervously with a clipboard in her hand, trying to search for someone in the busy triage where most of the staff stood, Maya approached her and put her hand on her arm in order to calm her down and asked her "Hey, are you okay? Does something hurt? Did you rest and take some of the oxygen in the aid car?" the red head turned around with the look of fear in her eyes and replied quickly "I am Dr.Kepner, I was in charge of tracking and checking if all of the patients and staff members have left the building safely, but there is still an OB missing and I cant find her!"

Maya's heart dropped at the thought of someone still hurt inside and not rescued, so she thought quickly and said "Okay, calm down, the fire is out so no need to worry much, I will head back inside and search the OB area again, you calmly check again between the staff and if you find her go to one of the station 19 firefighters and tell me over the walkie-talkie ok?" Dr.Kepner nodded as she took everything in.

 Maya went towards where Andy and Jack were still taking in oxygen from the aid car and said "A doctor just informed me that there might still be an OB staff member still inside as she cannot find her, I will go back in-" Jack quickly interjected "No! there is no way you are going inside, I'm not letting you!" he said as he took off the oxygen mask and put his gear on, Maya quickly cut him off and yelled in her captain voice "Gibson! You just got out of the scene and you need to be treated for smoke inhalation, I am the captain I have been watching the scene from outside, the fire is out and visibility should be better by now, I am going in and taking it slow do not worry, if I need anything I will call you guys" Maya yelled as she rushed inside the hospital as she saw Gibson and Andy nod.
