Summary
"Buck made these for you!"
Buck squints at the boy, and then looks to Eddie who is dutifully pretending not to see the cookies Christopher is hiding. "All of these?" The older firefighter questions, a single brow raised. He then glances into the kitchen. "And what about the ones on the oven? And—in?"
Because there's a dozen still baking and more to go in the oven and—
Buck made too many cookies. "Also for you," he says sheepishly.

Eddie stubs his toe.
Normally, this would not be a notable event; everyone stubs their toes. But—he stubs his toe on the coffee table which holds the one thousand piece puzzle Christopher and Buck put together the previous day, and in an effort to catch himself before he falls, he throws his hands out and sends pieces flying.
Literally flying. He hears one hit the wall.

Summary
"No!" Eddie screams, sounding like the word was ripped from his throat, like he's the one who just got shot. There's a beat or two before Buck understands why.
On his side, a patch of dark red is slowly spreading across the blue of his uniform. He's looking down at it for a few seconds, like he doesn't understand what it is. And then the pain hits Buck, white hot and icy cold all at once, and his eyes roll into the back of his head as he crumples to the ground.
