    Summary

    Christopher starts shaking more violently then. “Buck jumped back in the water for me.”

    There’s a protocol for a lot of scenarios, both in the Army and as an EMT. Eddie is used to knowing what to do, and how to do it; who to help, and where. Yet now, hopelessness splits through him like a bullet. Eddie doesn’t know what else to do other than hold his kid tighter and press his lips to his temple.

    “Is that– Christopher?” Hen asks over his shoulder. The tiny pocket of universe that he’s created with just him, his son, and Buck’s name battering in his chest unravels.

    Still keeping Christopher in his arms, Eddie rises to his feet. “I made Buck watch him for the day to get him out of the house. He– he brought him to the pier.”

    “Where is he, Eddie?” Bobby asks carefully.

    There’s a protocol for a lot of scenarios, both in the Army and as an EMT, but not for this.

    Summary

    Buck tensed up. “What do you know about it?”

    “Nothing, nothing man, okay? I don’t know anything except what I’ve seen.”

    “And what’s that?”

    “I shouldn’t -”

    “No, come on, what have you seen?”

    “You don’t use your left hand unless you have to, you consistently favor your left leg, and you lean in closer a lot to hear people when they’re talking.”

    “And what did that tell you?”

    “That something happened to you, probably on the job, and probably not something you’ll recover from.”

     

    OR Eddie joins the 118 after Buck is permanently disabled by an explosion at a call. Despite initial tensions, they learn just how important they can be to one another.
