Eddie sleeps through till the morning, he turns over and looks at the clock its 8am and his body is sore all over. The events of yesterday and the extra workload without any proper rest is really starting to catch up on him, as he lays there he starts to think back to the last night in the shower. Before he gets in too deep with his thoughts, he hears a crashing sound coming from the kitchen. Eddie jumps up and his groin sends a streak of pain through his body, making Eddie scream silently in pain making him regret jumping up. But he had no time worry about that, he needs investigate the sound that came from the kitchen. As he walks down the hall, he pops his head in Chris's room no sign of him, he continues going down the hall the smell of coffee hits him. As he gets to the kitchen he is welcomed to Buck on all fours his back to Eddie. Eddie smirks at the sight in front of him.
"So, what happened? And where is Chris?" Eddie asks.
"Well Chris is on the sofa still, and I didn't put him back to bed as every time I tried to move him back to bed he was sick, so we spent the night on the sofa. As for the smash I was making breakfast for you and the bowl slipped out my hand. I'm sorry if I woke you," Buck says as he stands with the dustpan full of smashed glass and food.
Eddie looked into the front room and Chris was asleep on the sofa he smiles at the sight and takes a seat down at the table. He places his head in his hands as the adrenaline of worry of what was going on subsides. He moves his hands when he hears something been placed in front of him, when he looks up he is greeted by food, a bunch of pancakes with smiley face, along with a bacon mouth and scrambled eggs nose Eddie couldn't help himself and smiles.
"Really, Buck?" He says smiling at Buck.
"Well I wanted put a smile on that grumpy face of yours, I was going make Chris some, but he is asleep so ill sort him some out later. Here a strong coffee, you are going need it." Buck says as he passes him the cup filled with coffee.
"Thanks, Buck," Eddie says as he takes a sip from the cup and smiles again.
"It is no trouble Eddie, but I am worried about you," Buck says and sits down next to Eddie, "You are taking on so much you are going burn out sooner or later. You need to rest so I spoke to Bobby and after this shift you are off for the next three days. I'm also off as Bobby wants me rest my leg also." Buck explains and Eddie starts to get agitated, "I know you're going to be mad, but you need the rest, so you get a long weekend. I'll stay in the guest room so you have support, plus then I would know that you really are resting." Buck explains further and looks at Eddies eyes.
"Buck, you shouldn't have done that without talking to me, I need the extra shifts," Eddie says trying to hold the anger back.
"No, what you need is tons of sleep and that boy in there actually needs to see his dad." Buck points towards Chris who was still asleep on the sofa.
Eddie did not know what say, he knew Buck was right, he had not spent much time with Chris recently. He was too focused on work and kept ahead of things, but he knew he had to be strong he was a Diaz.
'Diaz men are strong and support their family no matter the cost to the man of the house their needs become before you' His father's words come to him from memory.
"I know Buck, but you don't understand," Eddie says as he stabs his fork into the pancake.
"Then talk to me and explain." Buck says staring at Eddie.
Eddie looks at Buck and just stares at the blue eyes staring at him. Those same blue eyes that kept him grounded for some reason. Those same blue eyes that he cannot help but admire. Those same blue eyes that belonged to someone he longed to be with.
"Nothing, forget it." Eddie says as he starts to eat ignoring Buck's stare.
Buck huffs and starts to eat is food, once Eddie finishes his food and coffee he heads in to his bedroom. He needed get changed and get to work. By the time he had got a quick shower and changed he stood there, he forgot check if the lump was still there but decided he would check later he needed go with all the messing round and having food he was behind schedule. He headed down the hall Eddie felt his groin have a dull ache.
"Stupid cat," He says to himself.
"You say something?" Buck asks.
"Was just saying that stupid cat yesterday, making me pull my groin…" Eddie says as he walks into the front room.
Buck laughs and Eddie smiles, he walks over and gives Chris a kiss on the forehead.
"You are sure you're ok to stay with him, I can get Abuela to come round." Eddie asks.
"I already spoke to her and told her not to come round just in case. Because maybe later she too would catch it." Buck laughs.
"When did you speak to her? She was meant have him today anyway…" Eddie quizzes.
"Last night when you were out cold on the sofa, did I forget to tell you? Sorry." Buck says.
"It is fine I'm sure he would prefer to have you here. I know I do" Eddie says and regrets saying those last three words, he blames his tired mind.
"I like being here, now go to work and when you get back, we will have tacos." Buck says with a grin.
"You don't need do that, when I get back you can head home." Eddie says.
"Well get to work and I'll see you later." Buck says.
Eddie nods and heads off, his drive to work felt like it took ages, every road he took there was traffic he manages to get to work with ten minutes to get changed into his uniform. As he heads up the stairs he sees Bobby cooking as usual.
"Morning Eddie, how is Chris?" Bobby asks.
"He is still sick, but Buck is staying with him, well I didn't get much choice kind of told me it was happening no matter what." Eddie chuckles.
"Yeah, I spoke to him earlier, I'm guessing he told you?" Bobby quizzes.
"Yeah, you didn't need give me the time off. I'm fine to work if you need me to." Eddie says.
"Eddie, no offence but I agree with Buck on this one. You are exhausted, and you haven't had any proper time off in weeks." Bobby says giving him a concerned look.
"Ok, I get it I won't argue." Eddie smiles.
Just as Eddie is about go get a cup of coffee the alarm goes off; he groans as he walks down the stairs. The rest of the team run, he tries to run but his groin plays up again, once in the truck he looks round he is working with the other team and there is only Bobby who he normally works with. He didn't mind working with the other team just his normal team knew where each other stood and what they could do and not have worry about each other, he sits there as they ride he looks in the medical bag and grabs some painkillers and takes them hoping they will help ease the pain.
"We have a multicar pile up, we will be working with another two teams, when we get there, we will work a plan of action." Bobby says over the headset.
"Any information on how many people are involved?" Eddie asks.
"Not at the moment I have requested information so just have to see if they get back to us before we get there." Bobby says.
Eddie should have guessed it was not going be an easy day, he knew if it started with a bad call it normally set the day, at least he didn't have to worry about Buck. As they arrive at the pile up they climb out the truck and Eddie can see the other two trucks and watches as Bobby walks over and speaks to the other captains as they point obviously making a plan, Eddie walks round to the side of the truck and starts opening the compartments knowing they will need tools to help get people out. He turns to see Bobby coming and walks over with the rest of the team.
"So, we have six cars and two trucks, luckily there's no cars wedged between the trucks, Diaz I want you to take Marks and Jones and go and get people out of the two cars on the far side, the other teams will be dealing with the rest." Bobby explains.
"Ok cap, I'll get the saw, Marks grab the jaws and Jones grab the medical supplies and the emergency supplies bag with shield guard." Eddie says to the others and they nod getting the equipment's.
He picks up the saw and starts walking over looking at the cars they were heading over to. The walk was a good walk but carrying the saw was not helping his groin he was thankful the pills were kicking in. As they got close to the cars Eddie could see in one car there was just the driver which will be easy to get out but the other was wedged between the other car, and the side and two people inside so they will have cut them out. As they got close the ambulance team was arriving and already started assessing the people.
"Hey, so which do you want us get out first?" Eddie asks.
"If you can get the gentleman out in the first car, he's not injured too much so we can get him out that way and you can focus on the other two, they will need cutting out." The medic explains.
"Ok will do, Marks let's get the jaws on the door and get this man out." Eddie says.
"Ok Diaz." Marks replies they work and get the door off and help the medics to get the gentleman out.
They then proceeded to move to the next car, Eddie looks over the car and assess how they will get the people out. Judging from the way how the cars were wedged, he knows he must cut the roof off as either side is wedged in too much.
"Marks I'll need you to use the jaws on the back, I'll use the saw on the main frame and the we will use the jaws on the front and lift the roof off. Jones I'll need the shield guard to protect the victims." Eddie says.
He watches as Jones looks and then he looks at Eddie.
"Sorry I forgot it; I'll go get it now" Jones explains
"What you mean you forgot it, I told you bring it!" Eddie snaps as he moves away from the car.
"I know… I must have forgot I'll get it now." Jones says as he tries to walk off he was stopped by Eddie.
"No, I'll go get it, make sure the medics are ready." Eddie says as he walks off back towards the truck.
He starts to run, his groin hating him for it, but he has no choice. Any time wasted is not good for the victims, as he gets to the truck he sees Bobby walking over.
"What are you doing here? Are the victims out" Bobby asks
"No, Jones forgot the fucking shield protector, so I have had to come get it, we will have them out soon." Eddie replies trying to stay cool.
"Why wasn't it taken with you Diaz?" Bobby asks in a stern tone.
"I told him bring it along with the other supplies, it's not my fault he forgot it. I'm not going waste time arguing I'm going head back." Eddie snaps and starts to run back.
He makes it back and can see everyone waiting.
"We need hurry the passenger is losing a lot of blood." The medic explains.
"Ok, were going get the roof off as quick as we can" Eddie explains
"What can I do?" Jones asks.
"Well are you going do as your told or only part of what I say." Eddie snaps.
"Just tell me what do." Jones says back.
"Fine you set the guard and help Marks and I'll start on the back" Eddie says.
Eddie picks the saw and moves to the back and watches as Jones sets the guard one in place and he see's Marks using the jaws. He starts the saw and cuts through the back quickly, he gets off and moves round to the front and Jones moves the guard to the front. Once in place Eddie cuts through the front and they quickly work round the car. Sooner all the sides are cut they place the tools down and take position around the car.
"Can we get a hand here please." Eddie asks looking at the medics.
"Yeah what do you need us do?" They ask.
"Just take a corner of the roof and on the count of three we lift and move the roof to left and then you can get in ok?" Eddie explains.
Everyone nods to Eddie.
"One, two, three and lift!" Eddie shouts.
They all work together and lift the roof off and once its placed to the side the medics move in and Eddie watches and waits in case they need any more help. Once the victims are on boards heading to the ambulances Eddie turns to Marks and Jones.
"Grab the stuff lets head back to the truck and see what else needs doing." Eddie says.
He grabs the saw and Watches as Marks and Jones grab the rest and they start walking back.
"Hey, Eddie I'm sorry about earlier." Jones says.
"Save it, were in the job to save people, and when you don't listen it puts people in danger!" Eddie snarls back and picks up speed to get away from them.
Once back at the truck they load up the tools and Eddie looks for Bobby, he is most likely going to get shouted at for walking off, but he had to get back Bobby so he could apologize. He knew Bobby would understand. he sees Bobby talking to the other captains.
"Diaz, all done?" Bobby asks.
"Yeah, all out and on their enroute way to hospital." Eddie explains.
"Ok, well we will head back, and the other teams will finish up." Bobby says.
As they start walking back towards the truck Bobby places a hand on Eddies shoulder.
"So, what was that back there?" Bobby asks.
"I'm sorry Bobby, but I had to get back and I'm glad I did as when I got back with the guard the medic explained the passenger was bleeding out. I'm sorry I snapped at you, but I explained to Jones what I needed, and he forgot and…" Eddie explains but Bobby cut him off.
"I get that, and I will have words with him, but you need to control yourself. I know in the heat of the moment things can be said so just think ok?" Bobby says.
"Ok cap." Eddie says.
They get back to the truck and hop in and start heading back, Eddie sits back and rests his head against the side of the truck, listening to the others talk but not really taking note. Once they get back he heads upstairs he really wants a cup of coffee.
"I'll start on dinner" Bobby shouts as he arrives up the stairs.
"Eddie want to help?" Bobby asks.
"Yeah, give me five minutes just want relax." Eddie says.
"That's fine." Bobby says.
Eddie sits on the sofa and pulls his phone out, he sees a message of Buck, he opens it and it is a video of Buck stood behind Chris.
"Eddie, I'm sorry to say but your son is like the child of the exorcist." Buck says and right on queue Chris starts throwing up again, "At least his head isn't spinning round yet, hope your day is going ok? See you later." Buck says as the video finishes and Eddie lets out a laugh.
"What's funny?" Bobby asks.
"Just a video Buck sent." Eddie says as he gets up and heads towards Bobby, trying not to show his groin his hurting, he knows if Bobby sees he will be sent home.
"Here you watch it as I cut these for you." Eddie says as he passes the phone over.
Eddie starts cutting the veg, he can hear Bucks sweet voice again in the video and Bobby lets out a laugh as it finishes.
"Looks like you got the easy job I'd say." Bobby says handing the phone back.
"I think I did, but I'll have it later." Eddie says.
He passes the vegetables he has cut to Bobby and watches as Bobby cooks, he then see's Jones and Marks walking up the stairs and Jones just stares at him, Eddie didn't like the way he was staring at him but he couldn't be arsed saying anything and watches they head to the sofa and Eddie turns to help Bobby with the food. Eventually, the food is ready and they all sit at the table eating and Eddie looks up and Jones is just staring at him, Eddie holds back and continues to eat once he's finished he heads to the sink to place his plate in the sink and he turns and Jones is still staring.
"What's your fucking problem?" Eddie snaps.
"You are, there no need for the attitude you gave me earlier!" Jones snaps back.
"No need? I told you what equipment to bring and you didn't bring it, I then had to go get it, we then find out one of the victims is bleeding out and we had waste time because you didn't do as I said!" Eddie snaps.
"I said I was sorry! And I would go get it, but no you shot me down in front of everyone and got it yourself." Jones now standing and walking over towards Eddie.
Eddie could feel his anger building and starts to clench his fists, he knew if Jones got to close he might end up doing something, so he moves round the island keeping a distance.
"Well would you have been sorry if the person had died because that is what could have happened. You know the job is time sensitive, so you always double check everything!" Eddie snaps and slams his fist on the island.
"That's enough! Diaz my office now, Jones you stay up here." Bobby shouts.
"What! why do I have to go to the office he started it." Eddie snarls.
"NOW!" Bobby shouts.
Eddie starts walking down the stairs and as he walks past the truck he slams his fist into the side of the truck, luckily he hadn't hurt his hand and you couldn't see the mark his fist left on the truck.
"So, who pissed you off?" Chim asked.
"What are you doing here?" Eddie questioned.
"I'm doing the afternoon shift; hope you aren't in that kind of mood till you finish." Chim joked.
Eddie did not reply he just pushed pass Chim and went and sat in Bobby's office waiting for what is most likely a right bollocking, he wasn't in the mood for this. As he sat there he looked at his watch and took note that it had been five minutes and his temper was calming maybe that's why Bobby sent him to his office that or Chim was explaining what he saw.
"Oh great." Eddie said out loud.
Luckily, the alarm went, and he ran out the office and headed to the truck as he got close, he saw Bobby and the rest walking down the stairs and he instantly saw Jones smirking at him.
"Right Jones you're in the ambulance with Chim, Diaz in the truck with me" Bobby explained.
The ride to the call was quiet no one really spoke, just Bobby giving Marks directions to where they were going, McKay was in the back with Eddie and kept looking over but didn't talk, she most likely was scared of how he might snap at her to, he shook his head. Maybe these few days off might be what he really needs. I mean if Buck was there he wouldn't have to be stressed about as Buck helped him so much with the house and Chris would be happy with Buck was staying. Plus, he could make sure if Buck had any nightmares he was there for him.
He felt the truck come to a halt he was so deep in thought he hadn't seen they had arrived; he got his coat on and got out the truck, it was an apartment fire.
"This is Bucks apartment block." Eddie says.
"Well I'm guessing you weren't listening I said this to you in the truck, so I'm guessing you didn't call Buck either, can you call him you know he will worry." Bobby explains.
"Yeah, sure." Eddie says.
'How stupid not paying attention' he thinks to himself as he hits his forehead with his hand.
He dials Buck.
"Hey Eddie, I already know." Buck says.
"What, how do you?" Eddie asks.
"I do actually talk to my neighbours there out and safe, they already explained it's the levels above us, just be safe I don't care what happens to the apartment block just you be careful." Buck says.
"I will do, I'll see you later." Eddie says and hangs up.
"How he take it?" McKay asks.
"He already knew, he said to be safe and he doesn't care about the apartment just wants us be safe." Eddie chuckled.
"That sounds like Buck." Bobby laughed.
"Right, from what I've been told everyone on the lower levels have been evacuated we need access to the level with the fire, Eddie and Marks I want you to go in, access the fire hose on the level and check door to door, McKay and Jones you will be working the level lower again access the hose and door to door check ok?" Bobby shouts out.
"Yes cap." They all shout.
They head in as it goes quick as they check the rooms no one is in, but the fire keeps spreading quicker than they can tackle so end up walking down the levels double checking rooms as they see jets of water hit from outside. Eddie and Marks are now on Bucks apartment level the fire hadn't spread down to this level yet and Eddie breathed a sigh of relief he didn't want explain to Buck he had lost his home, as they walked down the corridor McKay can be heard on the radio.
"Jones, where are you?" She says.
"What you mean where is he, he's meant to be with you." Eddie responds.
"We were walking down to go to the level below you but when I looked behind he had disappeared." She replies back.
"JONES! Do you copy?" Bobby calls
Still no answer, Eddie signals to Marks to keep going they needed to clear the level as they got close to Bucks apartment he sees the door open. It looks to have been forced open, which is weird he pushes it open and see's Jones.
"What are you doing in here?" Eddie quizzes feeling rage build.
"Nothing I saw the door open so came to look." Jones replies.
"You are meant be on the level below," Eddie says, "Cap found Jones, he's in Bucks apartment and the door has been forced open." Eddie calls down the radio.
"What the hell is he doing in there? Jones, I want you outside now McKay leave too." Bobby calls over the radio.
"Yes cap," McKay calls, Jones does not. He just walks off laughing like a nut job.
As Eddie and Marks walk down the corridor checking the rest of the rooms, there's and explosion from behind them which comes from Bucks knocking both Eddie and Marks over.
"Diaz, Marks come in what was that." Bobby calls out.
"There was an explosion from Bucks apartment cap." Marks calls out.
"What you mean an explosion?" Bobby asks.
"Don't know Cap/" Eddie says getting up and he clenches his fists he knows Jones had done it, but why?
"Eddie, you need to calm down, we need check the rest of the rooms, we can have it out later." Marks says.
Eddie nods and they quickly check the rooms and the levels below luckily no one is there, they head out and as soon as they hit daylight Eddie chucks his helmet and coat on the floor and starts hunting for Jones but can't see him, he sees McKay sat down.
"You ok?" He asks.
"Yeah, no thanks to Jones, can't believe he left me." McKay says.
"Where is he?" Eddie snarls.
"Eddie, this way cap is dealing with him" Chim says grabbing Eddie by the shoulder.
"No, I want answers!" Eddie says and brushes off Chim's hold.
He starts marching towards the truck where he can see Bobby and Bobby cbocks him and shakes his head, but Eddie ignores him he does not care if he gets a warning or sacked Jones needs to pay as he gets closer he gets stopped by Athena.
"Where do you think you are going?" She says.
"You know where, that bastard needs to give me answers." Eddie says.
"Its fine we are dealing with it, best thing you can do is go get that looked at." Athena says pointing to Eddies forehead.
"What?" Eddie says but wipes his hand and the pain hits him as he grazes the cut "Ok, but I need answers so I can explain to Buck he is now homeless." Eddie says.
"Oh that boy won't be homeless, we all have spare rooms to put him up till he finds somewhere" Athena says and starts marching him over to Chim.
"You know, I am always amazed by you. Taming a lion on a blood frenzy to a purring cat that's only waiting for its next treat." Chim chuckles.
"That I did, now Eddie I know you will be mad, but I need you to stay here. If you move I will cuff you to the bed." Athena laughs and Chim burst out laughing.
"There, you heard her." Chim says as he starts cleaning up the wound.
Eddie just huffs and sits and watches from the ambulance as Jones is taken away in the back of Athena car, he sees Bobby walking over to him shaking his head.
"Eddie before you start, they have taken him for questioning, but we have no evidence, did you see anything? Marks says you walked in and just saw him, but nothing suspect expect for the fact he was in the apartment when he should have been with McKay." Bobby says.
"No, I just saw him in the apartment can't recall if I saw anything." Eddie says and thinks shit he is going get away with it how could Eddie not make sure all was ok.
"Well, it's a good thing you kept checking if you were still there you and Marks would have been caught in the explosion..." Bobby says, and Eddie had not thought about that.
"Anyway, we need get back, I have asked for a relief team come cover the rest of everyone's shifts, I'll come with you Eddie to explain to Buck what has happened." Bobby explains.
"Ok cap." Eddie nods.
Eddie jumps in the ambulance with Chim, he did not feel like sitting in the fire truck, as he sat there watching the streets go by.
"Don't worry, Maddie will take him in, he will be fine, at least he wasn't in there." Chim says.
"Yeah, I'm glad Chris was sick, God that makes me sound like a crap person doesn't it?" Eddie says.
"No, I completely understand, if it wasn't for that Buck would have been there playing the hero like he always does." Chim chuckles.
"Yeah, he can stay at mine anyway, I mean he's currently staying in the spare room this weekend to make sure I 'rest' as he puts it." Eddie laughs making air quotes on the word rest.
"No offence, but he's right you need it. You look like shit Eddie, we have all noticed you have been working none stop, Buck even asked if we could cover your shifts to give you the time off." Chim admits.
"He did what? Why?" Eddie asks looking at Chim confused.
"Eddie, we're family we look out for each other, plus I think he just wants to get in your goodbooks more" Chim gives him a sly look.
"What-"Eddie is cut off as his phone rings.
"It's like he knows we are talking about him." Chim laughs as Eddie answers.
"Hey Buck," Eddie says trying not look at Chim, and puts the phone on loudspeaker.
"Hey Buckaroo." Chim shouts.
"Hey Chim, so I see my place went up with a bang, care to explain why?" Buck asks and Eddie looks at Chim.
"We need discuss that later, but yeah sorry." Eddie says.
"I don't care about that! The report on TV, said there were firefighters on the level, who was it are they ok?" Buck says sounding panicky.
"Okay first how did the media get the report this quickly, and secondly it was Eddie and Marks. Don't worry they got knocked over as they weren't near the room, Marks is fine by the way, but Eddie has a booboo on his head you can kiss it better later." Chim jokes and Eddie just glares at him.
Chim holds his fingers up and counts down from three and mouths concussion to Eddie.
"Omg, Eddie are you ok? Chim did you check for concussion." Buck asks but is met with laughter from both Eddie and Chim.
"I'm fine Buck, Chim knew you would ask that, look we're getting to the station I'll be home soon we finished early." Eddie explains.
"Ok, see you soon." Buck says as he hangs up.
"Aww no I love you." Chim jokes and Eddie pushes his shoulder.
"We aren't together we're just friends." Eddie says.
"And you know what the river in Egypt is called don't you." Chim asks.
"The Nile." Eddie says.
"Exactly." Chim laughs as he gets out the ambulance.
Eddie sits there and finally realises what he just said.
"Chim you bastard!" Eddie says.
Eddie claims out and as he does he can feel his groin hurt but he has no time to think about it as Bobby walks over to him.
"Come on get changed and I'll follow you to yours." Bobby says.
"He knows by the way, he called he saw a report of TV." Eddie says.
"Did you say anything about Jones?" Bobby asked.
Eddie shook his head.
"Ok, let's get changed and go." Bobby says.
Eddie heads to the lockers and gets in the shower quickly showers and changed as he does Bobby is also changed and waiting. They then head to their own vehicles and Eddie drives off and see's Bobby follow him. During the drive back he didn't know what he was going say to Buck, it was getting to 4pm already and the day had gone from bad to worse to hell. He finally arrived back at his but waited for Bobby to pull up before he got out. As they headed towards the door Buck stood there, the first thing he did was grab hold of Eddie and hug him tight and then he hugged Bobby.
"I'm glad your both ok." Buck says as they head in.
"Yeah, sorry about your place kid." Bobby says.
"It's ok, its only stuff, it can be replaced though I may need to crash at peoples till I get a place." Buck laughs
"Well, you're more than welcome to sat at ours Buck." Bobby says.
"It's ok Bobby he can stay with me and Chris, I mean I have the spare room which, Buck you are already staying in this weekend just make it longer." Eddie says and see's Bucks face light up.
"Yay!" Chris shouts form the sofa.
"Oh, I see your awake." Eddie says as he walks over and gives him a hug "Me and Bobby got to talk about adult things so we will be in the backyard shout if you need us." Eddie says.
"Ok." Chris say.
They head out and Eddie notices the look of confusion on Bucks face.
"So, what's the deal?" Buck says.
"Well," Eddie starts but Bobby holds his hand up.
"We are not sure Buck; your level wasn't even on fire, but Eddie and Marks found Jones in your apartment the door showing signs of forced entry. Jones came down and Eddie and Marks continued checking the room and then the explosion as soon as it happened I had Jones pinned as he laughed. He hasn't admitted to doing it, but it looks like he is responsible for your apartment exploding. But as of now we do not know why, he just used the fire there as an excuse." Bobby explains.
"What, what have I even done to him?" Buck asks Eddie see's tears forming.
"Hey, we will get to the bottom of it, main thing is you're ok, we may need go get you some more clothes and stuff, but the main thing is were all ok." Eddie says while holding Buck upright.
"Yeah… I guess you're right." Buck says shaking his head.
"Right I'll be off but when I have any information I'll be in touch, ok?" Bobby says.
"Thanks Bobby." Buck says.
Eddie follows Buck and Bobby as they say their goodbyes and watch him drive off once he's gone and the door is closed Buck grabs hold of Eddie and holds him in a hug. He can feel the sob starting.
"It's ok Buck." Eddie says while he rubs his back.
"It's not! You could have been killed and why? I don't know why he would hate me so much." Buck replies in between sobs.
"I don't know, but I had a run in with him on the first call." Eddie says.
"What, why?" Bucks asks.
The sound of sick hitting the bowl fills the air and they both shake their heads with a smile.
"Dad!" Chris shouts.
Eddie heads in and starts clearing up, and as he turns Buck is stood there with a new bowl and takes the filled one back to the kitchen.
"Hey, I'm going head to Maddie's, see what stuff she has of mine. Will be ok for a few hours?" Bucks asks wiping his eyes.
"Yeah, to be honest I'll take this one to my bed and I'll get a few hours with him." Eddie says.
Buck nods and heads out, as Eddie hears Bucks jeep leaving he turns to Chris and picks him up and starts walking down the hall. He stops when his groin hurts more and more worryingly a sharp pain coming from one of his balls.
"Dad you ok?" Chis says, and it shakes Eddie out his thoughts.
"Yeah, mijo, just hurt my leg at work." Eddie says as they get to his room.
He sets Chris down and quickly walks in the bathroom and strips down he needs check and just as he starts running a finger he heard Chris throw up again.
"Dad, it happened again!" Chris shouts.
Eddie quickly chucks his shirt and PJ bottoms on and heads back into the bedroom he wipes Chris face and goes to the bathroom and quickly rinses the bowl and walks back in to give it Chris who is now asleep. Eddie places the bowl next to him and lays down next to him and nods off himself as the tiredness hits him hard.
