the cafeteria at Rampart General, Hank Stanley and his three, remaining healthy firefighters were gathered around a table -- having selected one sectioned off in one corner-- isolating themsevles from the hub-bub of the mid-day meal being served.

Their food remained untouched -- but for being pushed around on plates, toyed with listlessly.

They had exchanged very few words since leaving the waiting room -- mostly relief at knowing that Roy would live -- and their hopes that he would regain full sight again.

A heavy silence had fallen over the foursome since selecting their seating -- each man lost in the privacy of his own thoughts -- his own feelings.

Finally, without looking up from where he forked around a small mound of noodles, Chet asked softly, "So...what about..." hesitation, and then his voice cracked when he at last forced out the name. "...John?"

For a few moments after the question had been asked, he received no indication that it had even been heard by the other three men.

Just as he was about to asked again, Hank Stanley spoke up.

"I'll take of....things."

As Captain of Station 51 -- he knew it was his responsibility to see the matter of claiming Johnny Gage's body - and seeing that the dead fire fighter received the type of funeral he deserved....and he would have it no other way....if only to protect Kelly, Lopez, Stoker...and most of all Roy....from having to suffering through such an ordeal.

"I can't believe he's gone..." Marco shook his head. "I just can't believe Johnny's really gone!"

"YEah...I know..." Chet agreed. "I keep hoping this is all just some kind of-- bad dream...that'll be over the second the wake-up tones sound."

"It's not a dream." Stoker said, then added darkly. "Somebody out there -- still running loose -- MURDERED Johnny!"
