Summary
“Hey, Eddie.” Buck grabbed him by the arm and pulled them to a halt just before catching up with the others, leaning in close to his ear. “Take care out there, okay?”
“Hey, you might not know this,” Eddie whispered conspiratorially, looking around like he was about to give away a very important secret, “but I’m actually a firefighter, done the training and everything.” Buck could recognize the humor in his voice, but he didn’t feel like returning the sentiment. Not this time.
Of course Buck trusted Eddie’s abilities as a firefighter and he must’ve known as much, but this wasn’t about that.
“It’s… I don’t know Eddie, something’s wrong.” He pressed, but Eddie just scoffed and pulled out of Buck’s hand so he could turn to face him fully and put his own hands onto Buck’s shoulders.
“Look around, Buck. Everything is wrong. Having a sense of doom in a situation like this is normal and you know that.” He leveled him with a questioning gaze and Buck nodded a little. “We’re just gonna have to do our best, alright?”Or
During a search and rescue, Eddie disappears without a trace, leaving Buck to grapple with the sudden possibility of a life without him.
