I want to be like my mother, and my father, and my stepfather. I want to help people. I want to love unconditionally. I want to save lives. But, having been taught the importance of patience, I know that it is not my time. I am not ready. Yet. I just need a minute.

Any annoyance Buck might have felt at having to get up from his now almost permanent residence on his living room couch to open the door at ten in the evening left his body as soon as he saw Eddie and Christopher in the hallway.

They stay like that for a moment longer, and it feels like it's a safe house in the madness of the world around them.

Of course, just when everything was looking up is where it all went wrong. He knew it was all too good to be true...

Eddie Diaz saved alot of people when he was an Army Medic, one in particular he would never forget. Kristie Saunders spent the last eight years in the Army as infantry it was her life until she was kidnapped by terrorists and saved by one soilder who wouldn't give up on her. Now two years later a 911 call comes in and it's his turn to save her again.

That's what was scaring him more, the fact that he didn't have the urge to freak out. He's woken up in a home he doesn't recognize, in bed with his best friend, that he just realized he's married to, looking at photos he's never taken, and he's not freaking out. He didn't know what to do with that.
