    Summary

    Eddie calls the painter, Tommy Kinard, without even checking his Google reviews. He laughs at Buck’s stammered questioning about who exactly this guy is and what exactly the faceless denizens of the internet are saying about him and why exactly would anyone be okay with any amount of random strangers having access to their work number via a piece of paper in their letterboxes anyway? He can’t stop himself from pointing out that every single person currently in the United States has access to their work number, which is true enough but hardly a fair comparison. And quite frankly, a little unnecessarily bitchy when Buck was just being careful.

    “Maybe it’s fate.” He counters Buck’s perfectly reasonable hesitations with a shockingly nonchalant shrug. Ridiculous. Eddie doesn’t even believe in fate.

    Summary

    Tommy needs a replacement firefighter, and Buck goes to work at the 217. Time passes.

    Tommy stares at the list for outside options until his eyes blur but. Nope, Evan’s name is still there on the transfer list, open for filling the gaping hole in…Tommy’s schedule.

    Finally fills Evan's name into the empty shift slots, stares at it for a while longer and then bites the bullet. Prints the transfer request and takes it and the schedule over to Melton and slides them in front of him.

    Melton reads them and then looks up at Tommy, eyebrow raised. "You want to work with your ex?"

    Summary

    "Evan," Tommy says, and the brittle look on his face makes Buck stop laughing right then and there. "What's going on?"

    "Oh, you know," Buck says. "I'm being evicted."

    Buck doesn't find a new home. He makes it.

    Summary

    This isn't his knife, it's Ghost's. Molded grip, modified tanto blade, S.R. carved deep into the butt.

     

    If he makes it out of this alive, he's going to have to beg forgiveness for somehow mixing Ghost's knives in with his own gear. Possibly he's gonna have to go to confession because this feels like one of the bad sins.

     

    Or, a mission goes awry, and now Soap's got to deal with hostile terrain, a hit squad of cartel sicarios on his tail and Ghost's voice on his busted radio. Honestly, it's the last thing that probably fucks him up the most.
