His broken dates and disappearances cause her to become suspicious of what he might be doing and with whom.
She is determined to find out if his ex-girlfriend is back in his life. Refusing, to question Orlando since the two are like brothers, she instead turns to another friend for help.

He is also loyal to the firefighter code of conduct. That is until he agrees to help a lady in distress. The more time he and Lincoln spend together, the more he realizes he has developed feelings for her. Will the loyalty among firefighters stand or will love prevail?
