Summary
Maddie exhales deeply, sinking back into the chair as the screens all flip to black, Karen having turned off the feed. She slowly moves to the table, very aware of the eyes on her. Sitting down, she looks at Bobby and Athena, who are both looking at her with a shared expression of mischief.
“What?” She asks innocently, “I like making sure they’re safe, is all.”
“Maddie, that was the easiest job they’ve both done in months. They could have done it blindfolded, with their hands tied behind their backs in broad daylight and have been fine,” Athena’s quick response is sharp, but teasing.

Or: The 118 are a team who operate on the wrong side of the law. Heists and chaos are all part of the fun until the stakes are raised when one of their own becomes leverage.

Summary
You need to get out here, Buck. It’s not safe.
Maddie’s voice echoes in his mind, her panicked words swirling over and over again.
It’s not safe.
It’s been him and Maddie against the world for as long as he can remember, his whole life really. She raised him, she protected him from their parents for as long as she could, and when she couldn’t anymore, she took him and ran. Even after they ran, she continued to protect him, keeping him sheltered from what she was doing until he had built his own skills and confidence to work alongside her. Even on those jobs…he knew she was always keeping an eye on him, and was the first to step in if she didn’t like something.
Maddie has always been the one person in his corner, the one person who’s looked out for him and kept him safe. So, for her to send her away…he’s confused.
He’s confused, and he’s angry.
Or: Buck makes his way to safety following Maddie's instructions and finds himself at Element.

Summary
“You know,” Doug starts, walking over to meet her in the kitchen. Maddie reaches for his bottle of whiskey before he gets the chance, knowing that’s what he’s expecting of her. He watches as she pours him a glass, fighting her hands not to shake as she does, before he takes the glass from her and presses a kiss to her cheek before taking a sip. “I was having a think on the drive home from the office.”
“Oh?” Genuine concern, laced with a fear that she keeps buried inside, ripples through Maddie as she forces herself to smile at him.
“I think it’s time your brother starts earning his keep. Properly, this time.”
At his words, Maddie is sure she hears a ringing in her ears. There’s no way that’s what he said. There’s no way he mentioned Buck.
Or: Maddie sends Buck away in an attempt to keep him safe. This follows her life from there, leading up to her arrival at the 118.
