Chapter 7

“Hi,” Sheldon said in a sexy baritone. “I’m Sheldon, and you are?”

“Brody. I’m the new EMT tech.”

“Welcome aboard, and I’ll see you around.”

Sheldon stepped under the showerhead and began to soap himself.

Brody quickly finished drying himself, then wrapped the towel around his waist to hide his body’s reaction to Sheldon. Shit,he thought, as he headed for his locker, I’ve got to get a handle on my reactions.His train of thought was interrupted by the alarm bell, so he finished dressing in record time and headed toward the garage. As he stepped into the passenger seat of the ambulance, he spotted Sheldon running through the double doors pulling on clothes as he went.

“What’s happening, Ron?” Brody said.

“There’s a multi-car accident over on I-75, and three departments have been called to it, including us.”

“That’s a good fifteen miles from here.”

“Yeah, and I’m going to hurry just a bit more than usual.”
