"SEATTLE FIRE,“ jack announces as he enters one of the dressing rooms. it’s one of the smaller venues in the city, but a notable one for many bands that had gone on to not only pursue their dreams, but achieve them. booking the place is an impressive feat for a band from chicago, or at least that’s what he thinks. but what does he know? he doesn’t work in music, just a fan of the band slated to play there tonight. or rather, their singer. “— sorry guys, we got a call about a gas leak. i’m going to need you all to vacate the building...”
they small group of people collected into the room, perhaps all of them musicians, have no reason to believe him: he isn’t exactly wearing his fire gear, just a t-shirt with the station 19 logo prominently displayed. he’d attempted to talk dean into coming with him, but his friend had better things to do on his day off. it seemed he’d have to face the girl from his past on his own. he wonders if she’ll even recognize him after all these years. he can’t help but smirk as he catches a glimpse of her, although attempts to remain composed, keeping himself broad-shouldered, as if this were an actual emergency. “must be a strong one, too. I think I might already be hallucinating...” the words are in jest and he tosses his hand to the side as if to signal to all in attention that it’s a joke. "jacqueline, is that you?”
