Body Swap
Or Janus was bored one day
Part One: Tony to Buck:
Tony got home to his apartment, finally, after a shitty week where he had been thrown from a plane the first day, never given a chance to recover before being forced to surrender his power over to the woman his boss was looking to bed.
He had already put in his complaints to HR and legal over the matter of Gibbs’ new bed partner not going back through the investigation portion of FLETC and Gibbs’ comments that undermined his position. On top of that, he had put in that he was officially taking the weekend OFF and damn the Gibbs torpedo he was STILL recuperating from being thrown out of a perfectly good airplane. If Gibbs wanted to do weekend calls while they were off send for a bloody TDA. And shut off his work phone as he was still pissed at his boss and his piece of side ass.
He stopped at his door as there was a small package waiting there for him from an unknown sender but with a label stating that it was from a movie agency that he sometimes orders through for new shows to watch.
The signature on the inside note said the person thought he would enjoy this look at other first responders early before the show came out.
Signed J.
The three-disk set of DVDs was about a new series to him called 9-1-1 and was about firefighters in LA.
Shrugging as it looked interesting to watch for the shear mindlessness and he took out the first DVD to put in his machine as he got himself something to eat and drink, then got comfortable and clicked his remote to start.
Unfortunately, like many other first responder shows he started to take notes on what was wrong with what he was watching midway through episode one and went downhill from there. By the time of the Catfisher he was pissed at the team surrounding the victim firefighter and main character, named Buck. Calling out that he could do better than that….
Out of nowhere came a male duo voice that said……
Wish Granted. And next thing he knew he had memories of going through SEAL training and then missions until he was mentally injured after he and his team had been captured by the enemy insurgents. Getting care from friends and battle buddies as he travelled to heal, before joining up to be a firefighter to help those in need. All the added training he had plus what he picked up in training. The brush off about his being in a war zone as a soldier as having rung the bell instead. But no mention that he still would have had to serve his time in the navy even if he had signed up for the SEAL training as a civvie. As he would have had to sign a contract with Uncle Sam to do so. No, he washed out and rang the bell so was hazed about having no follow-through by the clique around the captain. With nary a word from others in the crew that hinted they too had served.
Fucking great another group like Peoria where he had absolutely no back up. In this instance it was the beginning of the Catfisher as he was on duty at a scene of an accident and a woman his memories didn’t know came up and had just slapped him to the hilarity of the leadership of his crew.
Well, that was bullshit as he was already mad and yelled for one of the cops on the scene who was supposed to keep the onlookers out of the way, to come and get this bitch who had just physically battered a first responder who was on duty. Which was against federal law.
The female paramedic who reminded him of Caitlyn so much with her attitude yelled out about his language and he should forgive the poor woman for what he had done to her. The second in command seconded her and rhetorically asked if he had to hide his bad service to a woman by calling in the cops when she was just telling him all about himself. He obviously was a coward. Which, again, not even the captain reigned them in about their comments or the fact that he had been attacked while working. Just the soft command voice of Nash stating they shouldn’t be hasty…. And Tony told the officer to take her in after cuffing her with her hands behind her as she had proven to be more than capable of hitting people who had no idea who the fuck she was.
Pulling out his phone from a pocket, he called dispatch to get a detective to their scene right now as there had been a civilian attacking first responders where they were at. As the victim he was going to press full charges against the bitch for attacking him no matter what anyone else on his crew wanted. He looked right at the officer as he said so and demanded to cop do his duty and get her license and id so everyone finally knew who the merry fuck she was.
He had the recorder on his phone going to get the harassment from the clique that was going and to show that no one stuck up for him being in the right about the madwoman that was screaming and yelling epitaphs at him while in custody of the cop. Scanning the crowd that was forming and noticed everyone there was also recording the scene with his memories telling him how to post it to Buck’s Instagram page as it was going on.
By the time the detective finally showed up, his voice over post that had him telling his side, with derogatory remarks from the captain’s peanut gallery, had been reposted over to YouTube with over a million viewers all with comments about the madwoman needing jail, and the crew needed to be jailed as accomplices.
The detective asked if there was, anyway, she could have accessed his accounts to get his name. Tony stated his public Instagram was all about safety regulations and common sense, so people didn’t get hurt. The rest of his media footprint was strictly private and for personal use only. Then he named his second Instagram account and his dead Facebook page that he only had so his sister could find him if she needed too.
The crazy lady yelled out that he was lying as he had another account and that was where she had met him. Giving that out and telling the detective to look in her purse for her phone as it was open to the page so she could make sure she had the right person.
The detective got her to open her phone then asked Tony if any of the information was right on the static picture from the LAFD on him. He pulled out his own LAFD id card to show proof that the information was wrong on several levels when the detective called it into the department for verification. Shooting the online page over to cyber and ITG to investigate what was obviously a case of stolen id. With this verified, Tony called the area NCIS to get a team over as his information had been stolen and with it in the hands of an unknown, information the navy probably didn’t want out.
Then looked straight at the woman who was suddenly getting the idea that she had been in the wrong, he told her he had been a Warrant Officer in the Navy and a member of Bravo Five out of Corando. Yet none of those facts were listed in the fool’s run of the background given on the webpage she brought up. Something that someone looking to be laid would most definitely put up and talked about.
She slumped in the cops’ arms that had been holding her back as by now she knew she was in deep shit, with further comments from the captain’s xo that Buck had to be lying as there was no way a kid like him would ever follow through in getting in the military. He was only looking to be laid like always.
The detective growled at Han and told him where he could stick his attitude on those who had served their country. Pointing out that he had recently retired from the marine corp reserves and didn’t think his attitude worthy of representing his department. Mark his words his ultimate boss was going to get an earful about how the entire crew of the 118 dissed those who served in the military with honor. And looked straight at Nash about his allowing it.
NCIS took over the full investigation into the id theft and quickly found it was Han’s own computer at his apartment, which they raided and confiscated then arrested him for at the station later that day. Raiding the online server to get all the names of Han’s victims as Han had lawyered up and letting them know what was going on and that their online love affair was a way for another man to get laid by them when the personality they fell in love with failed to appear at a rendezvous he set up. He would show up all sympathetic and get laid by happy females all the while sticking it to the guy, he was jealous of.
The department itself was ashamed of the captain and crew allowing all this to happen to a war hero that had recently joined the department. They were further disappointed at Nash for his comments making it sound as though he didn’t like the military or those who served in it by his attitude with his new probie. Even going so far as to outright lie about a member of his crew serving.
He got reamed good in front of everyone called in that worked at the station no matter what shift. The person reaming him was a man who had watched his own father spat on when he got home from ‘Nam for serving his country with honor. He heard people like Nash and his people call his father “Baby Killer” and their wishing he had died in country rather than come home. These people, who never served wished the enemy had KILLED his father. And now here was Nash and his crew doing the same shit to another service member under his command.
Staring straight at those whose records with the department said that they had also served he laid into them as well for not sticking up for a brother in arms.
He made sure each and every one who he found guilty of this heinous crime was given a huge black mark in the files that would never be expunged and would follow them through not only this department but whatever jobs they tried to get forever after. Then he called out names except Tony’s and Nash’s, and told them that starting the very next day, they were to report to their new captain, shift, and station as he had enough of coddling them because of Gerrard. Then he called out Tony’s name to report to the 133 and to Mehta as his new SAR probie. Nash was suspended until a tribunal could decide what to do with him.
Then he dismissed them.
Fini for now
