squad

I have feelings too!

By THE SQUAD

It is so hot today. I wish someone would come over and close that door. Yeah, it's nice to look out at the traffic going by, people peering in the door to get a glimpse of me and my big brother, but it's hot out today!

It's been awful quiet around here. A-shift is here. I like those guys, they really know how to treat a friend. That Mike guy is always buffing the chrome on big brother and the sandy haired nice fellow Roy is always after his partner Johnny to give me a wax. They treat me real good and never bump into curbs or shopping carts. People don't know it but THAT HURTS! They walk over and rub their hand along my scratch, which hurts even more. Would someone please tell these people to get a clue? I'd never go up to them and rub on their boo boos.

I have an important job. I take two fireman all over the city and county to save lives. They depend on me to get them there quickly and safely. I haven't failed them yet. Ohhhh someone is shutting the door, wish I could see on the sides but I can't -- wonder who is being so nice to me?

Okay.... Just a few more minutes and it will cool down in here. I sure could use a sprinkle of water, wonder if I'm going to get washed today. Maybe if we get a call into the Canyon, then they'll have to wash me off. Maybe that will cool me down. Did I mention it sure is hot today?

I like my job, makes me feel important when we are racing down the streets and I start wailing to get people out of the way. Most folks stop and turn to see where I'm headed, small kids stare in facination, I just wish I could stop and let them look at me. I am a great truck. Red in color with compartments all on my back to hold things the fireman will need. I think I'm great looking, Big Red (my brother) thinks I'm scrawny. He laughs at me but I always get the last laugh when we go on a call together, yep... I always get to lead the way.

Wish I could talk back to Roy and Johnny, but they don't speak my language unlike the person I'm telling this story to. She's a little loopy though, she's always hugging or kissing on me and insisting people take her picture with me. Big Red thinks she's obsessive, I think he's just jealous.

Uh oh.... Here we go. Wonder what's going on? I was too busy thinking and not listening. JEEZE that sun is bright, wish I had sunglasses. I wish Johnny would stop squirming around in his seat, it's like a small child sitting on your knee and hitting you right on the bone.

Must be a Medical call, I don't hear Big Red behind me. Oh... what's that? It's a woman waving her arms and yelling, I bet that's where I'm going. Yep here we go, Roy is easing me to the side of the road, unlike that stupid Brice guy who insists on slamming on the brakes.

YEOWCH!!!! Someone tell those guys to stop slamming the darn doors! There they go, running into the house. I wish they'd talk louder so I can hear what's going on. Oh oh.... Here comes Johnny.

"Squad 51 to LA"

"Squad 51 go ahead"

"Cancel Ambulance, We'll be approximately 10 minutes"

"10/4 51"

"What is with people?" I can hear Johnny mumbling about something "Calling the fire department for a cat stuck in the wall, they should be calling the Humane Society"

Oh jeeze I hate cats. Yeah they are cuddly and stuff and cute, but they jump on my hood and put those tiny little prints all over it.

One time a cat crawled into my engine and I had to yell at it to get it out. I'm sure if one of the guys started the engine it would take all 9 lives of that cat.

What the heck was that? Eeewww....what's that smell?

"Hey you little brat, stop throwing eggs, come back here!" I can hear Johnny yelling but it's getting further away, he must be chasing the kid. He runs really fast.

"Squad 51 to LA, we're Available"

Uh oh, Roy just called us in available and Johnny went chasing the little jerk who threw an egg at me. HEY!!!!! That means I get a bath when we get back to the station -- yippeee!

Where's he going? He's starting me up. Is he leaving with out him? Well...here we go, tough luck Johnny.

"What are you doing Johnny? Jump in, we're available" ah, Roy must have found him.

"Some brat threw an egg at the squad, guess I'll have to wash it when I get back, couldn't catch him" Johnny was telling Roy, sounds like he's out of breath too.

I can see it, there's my house, it's getting closer...yippee... just a few minutes and I'll have cool water running all over me!

"Squad 51 in Quarters"

"Squad 51" Wonder what that guy on the radio looks like. Wonder if he ever goes home... seems he's ALWAYS on the radio. Hmm.... Maybe he IS home. La la la... we're pulling around back, I get a bath, I get a bath... la la la.

HEY! Who's that? Looks just like me and all the guys are standing around it.

"What's with the new Squad, Roy?" Johnny said as he jumped out and

OHHHHHHHHH STOP SLAMMING THE DOOR!

What are they saying? Who is that? I don't like the looks of this at all. Johnny! Get away from those compartments, what are you doing? Roy! Why are you looking under the hood. HEY! Why does it say 51 on the side. I AM 51!! What the hell is.... Oh here they come.

"... yeah I'll get this side you get that side, finally a new squad, I knew this old girl was ready to retire," Roy was saying to Johnny.

First off WHAT IS GOING ON! I am NOT a girl. What do you mean retire? Hey!!!! Where are you taking my stuff?

Hey hey, who are you? Some guy is coming straight at me, who the heck is he?

"Got everything boys?" he's asking my fireman

"Yep, it's all yours Paul -- have fun!"

Johnny... Roy... what are you doing? That's my stuff you are putting in that new squad. What's going on? Hey! Where are we going? I can't see them anymore. We're headed back down the road. I think that Paul guy is driving me. I don't feel anyone in the other seat.

Hey... is that headquarters? It IS! Hey it's a garage. I wonder what's going on.

"Put this one out of service Chuck, 51's just got a new squad and she is a beut!" Paul was telling someone I couldn't see. Cool he didn't slam the door.

What is his problem, that new squad was a guy, it was not a girl. I'd have known if it was a girl. I like girls.

Where did everyone go? Why did they just turn the lights off? Jeeze that egg is REALLY starting to smell, and sting too!

Well it's been 3 days. No one has come to see me. I've been sitting here in the dark and I don't have a clue as to what's going on.

Oh the lights! Someone is coming.

Who's getting in, where we going?

These roads look familiar. Hey... there's my house again. Yuck, there's that creepy new squad again.

"It's about time you brought her back Paul, this new squad is a lemon!" HEY JOHNNY! HEY ROY!!!!

Hey, they are putting stuff inside my compartments again. This is good, this is very very good.

What's that tow truck here for? Ohhhh ha ha ha, the new squad is going up on the tow truck.

And there he goes. Neener neener neener.

"Squad 51, respond to Georges Grocery on 15th street for man down, timeout 9:53"

"Well Jr, here we go," shouted Roy as he climbed inside

WAIT JOHNNY!!! Don't slam the do..... Oh jeeze.
