"This is the spot right here Kyle."
Kyle pulled the ambulance to the curb, the red flashing emergency lights bathing the evening darkness of the quiet neighborhood in neon light. Tapping the brake as the engine began to rev higher, cutting the high pitched roar to a slightly less intrusive rumble, he double checked the address on the computer while glancing toward the house they had been called to.
"Dispatch, 218 on scene." Jess said dropping the mic on the clip, reaching to her side to turn on her portable radio.
"Copy that 218."
Opening the heavy door of her ambulance and hopping down, she took a moment to stretch her arms over her head and twist side to side. Looking around the neighborhood seems pretty quiet at 11pm, typical subdivision with rows of houses on their postage stamp sized lots. Looking down the road she noticed the shapes of people in the windows checking out the activity, fading back to the darkness when they realize they can be seen.
Jess had been a Paramedic for four years, tall and solidly built with shoulder length black hair pulled back in a ponytail for night shifts. Her snug uniform pants accentuated shapely legs and well-rounded butt, with the snug white shirt she was wearing she had already been ogled a few times this shift.
Opening the side door of the ambulance she picked out two of the medical bags as Kyle approached from the front of the vehicle, reaching past to grab their monitor and the third bag.
"Another party call," he said chuckling as he slipped the strap for the bag over his shoulder.
"It is Saturday, you remember Saturday night's, right? Did they have them back then?" Jess replied laughing at her older partner's eye roll.
"Damn you're on a roll tonight," he said laughing as they walk up the lawn to the well-lit front door. The sounds of music was audible on the lawn, loud but apparently not enough to annoy the neighbors.
Kyle was 35 and had been Jess's partner for the last three years. The older man had the beginning of a receding hairline visible despite the short haircut. Slightly taller than Jess, Kyle was a large man and a competitive strongman in the summer season. His size and casual assertiveness helping the team out more than a few times over the years.
"Yeah, I actually slept today," she said stepping up to the door standing just to the side as she knocked loudly, "Paramedics!" she said loudly as she heard the voices change inside.
"Sure, that and the caffeine loaded energy drink you just had, hopefully no one needs an IV, your hands will be vibrating."
"Meh, if they are unconscious, they never notice." Jess smiled broadly at her partner turning to the door as it cracked open.
The young woman at the door was a few years younger that Jess, brushing her short cut brunette hair from her eyes as she swung the door open. Jess felt her eyebrows rise at the short skirt over the olive-colored legs and the low-cut dark colored top. From the swaying under the shirt Jess knew the girl was bra-less.
"Oh Hi," the woman said in a rush, her hands gripping the door tightly as she pulled it wide, "Sorry it's our friend Emily, I think she had too much to drink."
Stepping past the door Jess checked the room noticing three other women sitting on couches. All the girls were dressed for a night out and from the amount of skin showing had plans for quite the after party too. She glanced back to Kyle with a smirk and wink as he stepped around to corner to take in the sights.
"Aww-right," he said quietly.
"Have fun," Jess whispered. Kyle was always a bit of the friendly ladies' man and had a knack for making calls fun despite the situation. Seeing the sudden change in his expression made Jess's smile even wider.
"Ok sure, where is she?" Jess asked as Kyle stepped forward to get an idea of what had been going on. The women fixate on the large man as he walked into the main room while one of them lowered the volume on the music.
"So, what's going on tonight ladies?" Kyle said as Jess followed the other woman down the hall.
"She is right down here ma'am," the woman said as she opened a bedroom door.
"Ma'am," Jess replied laughing, "Please my name is Jess."
"Hi sorry, I'm Carlee." Jess noticed Carlee's eyes roam down her body and felt a little tingle despite the situation. Jess had been single for a few years since taking this job and had been going through a dry spell for far too long. Pretending to ignore the look, she followed Carlee into the room.
