Chapter 4: He's what?
It was a quite day for the 118 and Bobby was using the time to catch up on paperwork.
The Chief has asked him something about Buck he didn't understand. He got in trouble when he said he didn't know what the Chief was talking about.
That is why you can find Bobby and Cora working in Bobby's office.
Bobby making quick work of the paperwork and Cora sorting out the papers on the desk.
Bobby was filling out a form for one of the injured people when Cora found the file.
It was a file form the Navy. Bobby opened it and tried to read it. It was mostly redacted.
All he got was that one Evan Buckley was basically Navy royalty and that he is still in the reserves. They walked out to the rest of the first responders he started to talk.
"Guys we have Military Royalty in this firehouse." Buck turned pale and everyone turned to look at Eddie and Cora.
Just as they were about to respond the alarm went off calling them out to a crime scene.
Crash
As they arrived at the scene the 118 was glad to see it wasn't a terrible crash.
It was a single car wrapped around a poll and the driver sitting calmly on the side walk talking to Athena and a blond hippy looking dude.
Hen walked closer to check up on the guy. Bobby looked at the car and saw the clear signs that the car was pushed of the road. As he talked to Athena and the other detective he found out it was foul play.
"Hi, I'm Captain Nash from the 118." He great the guy knowing he is an agent.
"Agent Callen, NCIS. Don't worry about this the LAPD already processed everything. Can I catch a ride with you? My partner will pick me up there."
"Are you not going with the blond hippy?"
"Deeks, can I get a ride with you?"
"Yeah let's go before Fern gets upset."
The two laughed and drove off.
Clearing out they drove back to the firehouse.
"Hey, Bobby did we leave my sister alone in your office?"
The whole of the 118 turned pale and stat taking bets.
Bobby: "Clean office and the last weeks paperwork done. I know wishful thinking." They all laughed.
Hen: "Kitchen a mess trying to cook us something." Buck shook his head saying that Cora knows how to cook.
Chimney: "The station sparkling with her sleeping on the sofa." Bobby replied that would not be a surprise considering it would be the third time this week. Callen started to think of his team that is his family as well.
Buck: "Sleeping on Bobby's desk."
Eddie: "At the dinner table with the first aid kit."
"Why would you say that?"
"I know Cora pretty good."
"Hen would you be so kind to play our referee? I think we can all give the man twenty dollars each. If none of us is right Cora can donate it to a charity of his choice." Hen laughed taking the twenties like she usually do.
At the firehouse
When they hopped out of the truck they found Cora at the Kitchen table with the first aid kit. Eddie smiled and walked up to help Cora.
"Cap, what did you do?"
"One of the idiots that work here thought that they could start something with no bosses around. I shut it down, but he got hurt. I called it in so the Chief will be hear soon."
"So you are just cleaning your knuckles?"
"Yeah. I saw the smug look on you and the "I lost a bet look" what did you bet on?" Hen walked up to them.
"They bet on how they will find you. Eddie, I believe this is yours." Hen said handing over the money.
They all cleaned what they had to and restock. Cora was sitting at the table talking to one of the bosses and making a training day date so that she have a better idea about how Firefighters think. As the others slowly joined making the table vibrate with life the man left.
Eddie and Buck was bickering about the bet when Chimney asked Eddie about be Military Royalty.
"It's not me Chim." Eddie said shaking his head.
"Cora?"
"Not me Chim. It's Buck, his the Royal."
"He's what?"
"Remember when I said we are in the presence of Military royalty? I was taking about Buck. From his great great grandfather to his father was Navy and his adopted father too."
Buck: "Lt. Commander Evan "Daredevil" Buckley, but most called me Buck or Devil." He said looking proud.
Cora' POV just after the call.
I am sitting in Bobby's office when I hears the loud noise.
Getting up from the floor I grab my phone and follow the noise to the loft.
I see Lt. Tanner and Rhodes fighting with each other.
"Boys break it up now!"
"Why should we listen to you, girly?"
"I will cuff you if you don't stop."
"You and what army?" Tanner say as he try to land a hit on me.
I grab his hand twisting it behind his back, but he got out of my hold.
He lands a punch in my stomach. I double over and use some speed to knock the idiot out.
"Are you guys going to make more trouble?" They shake their heads.
"Good, move him to bunk room."
I walked back into Bobby's offices and look up his boss' number to report the indecent. The Chief said that he will be there as soon as he can.
I sit down at the table with the first aid kit to clean my knuckles when the 118 crew came back. Eddie join me at the table.
"Cap, what did you do?"
"One of the idiots that work here thought that they could start something with no bosses around. I shut it down, but he got hurt. I called it in so the Chief will be hear soon."
"So you are just cleaning your knuckles?"
"Yeah. I saw the smug look on you and the "I lost a bet look" what did you bet on?" Hen walked up to them.
"They bet on how they will find you. Eddie, I believe this is yours." Hen said handing over the money.
'They are so much like my unit' I think.
The Chief walked in. We talked about what happened today and possible training. I want to understand the firehouse a bit better. I can feel it in my gut I'm going to be coming here a lot.
The Chief leave as the rest join me at the table.
Eddie and Buck are bickering about the bet.
Chimney: "Eddie are you the Military Royalty?"
"It's not me Chim." Eddie say and shake his head.
"Cora?"
"Not me Chim. It's Buck, his the Royal."
"He's what?"
"Remember when I said we are in the presence of Military royalty? I was taking about Buck. From his great great grandfather to his father was Navy and his adopted father too."
Buck: "Lt. Commander Evan "Daredevil" Buckley, but most called me Buck or Devil." He said looking proud.
The three of us are laugh and see two men walk to us.
