Buck you okay?

by Xtb2X

After the Earthquake (2x01) When The team got out, everyone was okay as the could be. But not everyone. Buck actually got hurt whenever they had to jump into the elevator opening, but Neither Eddie nor Buck knew how bad it was because they forgot. Little did they know they were in for a long haul.

1. The ambulance ride

After Buck and Diaz, get out of a collapsed building, they take the patient they rescued to the ambulance and get them situated. Diaz knows something isn't right, but he just can't put his finger on it. It than dawned on him, Buck.

Flashback*

While Buck and Eddie were making their way down the collapsed building with the injured man on the ironing board, it started moving. Thinking fast they had to think quick and throw/ slide the young man on the "spinal board" out the clearing before they were caved in. Eddie made his way out first, followed by Buck. They both dove out of the exit onto a floor that was still in the collapsed building but out of danger. It was littered with crumbles of rocks and bricks and glass. So much that when they dove out there was for sure going to be some stitches required. When they both landed, while Eddie was regaining his compuser, he thought heard a loud grunt and then a groan followed by a string of curses under their breath. He looked to see if the patient was the one in discomfort, to only see that he was sighing in relief to be laying down flat again. Once he saw that the patient was fine he turned his attention to his partner. Eddies mouth turned dry as he saw Buck struggling to sit up with a pinched expression, holding his head with a firm but gentle grasp for a slpit second until coughing and shaking it off. He was trying so hard to contain the facial expression of pain.

"Hey, you okay!" He yelled.

Buck got equally as loud but still shaky

"yeah!".

It felt like minutes but in reality it was only seconds had they almost been crushed to death. Then another aftershock hit and rattled the building and its surroundings. This was all Buck and Diaz needed to spring into action and protect. protect. protect. they all needed to protect something, anything. So they protected the man. The aftershock somehow helped them, considering how the floors they already searched and cleared, crashed further and got them closer to ground and eventually out.

*present*

With everything going on Buck and Eddies main concern was getting their pateint to the hospital in a stable condition. Buck was riding such a powerful adreniline high, that when he was to come down he was gonna be in pain like a son of a. He didnt really notice that anything else was hurting other than his head and his midsection, but he was only going to tell them about his stomach. He's had enough injuries to know if it worse than it looks, which it wasn't. It was most likely severly bruised. They got the man in the ambulance and began working on him as soon as the doors slamed shut.

"You alright?"

Eddie asked while establishing an I.V line in the mans left arm.

"Hmm? Yeah. Fine. You."

He replied hurriedly.

Eddie responded with a nod. Buck was busy examining the man for further injuries. While he was working Eddie continued working as well, but was stealing glances at him every few minutes. About 10 minutes later, they hop out and handed the gurney off. Buck was standing right behind his freind and tapped him on the arm as a signal to head out. Both were silently sending out a prayer toward him. He turned around, making his way back to the truck when he saw Buck falter in step. Panic shot through Eddie as saw this.
