~Two Weeks Later~
Both TK and Carlos made it back to Austin after spending their holiday down in LA, staying with Eddie and Buck - and obviously with Eddie's kid, Christopher.
Carlos was back into work while TK still had a few days off which meant he had nothing to do. Since he had become a paramedic there was less shifts, less then he used to do as a firefighter which made himself question what to do next in life - sometimes he wished he could just run from all of this and start new somewhere else.
But he couldn't keep running forever, he would have to live and that's what he planned on doing here in Austin with his fire house family, his true family, his boyfriend and his friends.
"Hey babe, when are you off shift? Oh alright... I guess, I can wait that long - was going to cook dinner, but it's fine... no no don't worry, it's your first day of work after all - enjoy it" TK could feel himself getting more worked up by the minute, it was like all his friends where avoiding him - he knew they probably weren't but something in him was saying different. "Bye Carlos, I will see you later" TK grumbled, ending the call before Carlos could even say goodbye.
After shoving his phone back into his pocket he couldn't decide what to do next... was it to binge another season of Greys anatomy and eat junk for the rest of the day or was it take a relaxing bath and forget about his suspicious boyfriends and friends behaviours recently.
"Looks like it's Grey's anatomy then" He mumbled as he looked through the tv series on his Disney +, he quickly pressed play as he went to the kitchen wondering whether Carlos was going to tell him what the hell was going on...
"What if we're breaking up" TK panicked, thinking to himself - he always thought of the worst scenarios possible when he felt like someone was being suspicious around him....

Carlos, on the other hand - knew there was something up with TK, he had been different ever since there last day in LA, he just about remembers walking the streets of the Hollywood hills, when TK stopped - almost turning into a ghost before insisting that they should go back before they get lost...
... but Carlos knew there was more too it - he just didn't know what, he replayed that whole day over and over in his head trying to fix the peace's together, but nothing was working...
"Reyes! Common, we have a call to go to - get out of your daydream and get in the damn car!" The officer shouted at Carlos getting his attention, only making him jump a little as he is abruptly stopped mid daydream.
"Alright, suit up and tell me what's going on Rose"
"Officers responding - two minutes out, over" Charlie called out as they suited up, dashing over to their car before pulling away and attending to the scene.
Carlos hadn't seen much like this before - there was blood everywhere, the shell casings of bullets everywhere, scattered like stones across someone's flower garden. He couldn't help but take a second to himself, composing himself for what he was about to be met with but also who he was going to be met with...

"TK? TK! Thank god you answered, I was worried about you then" TK couldn't help but notice the worry in his fathers voice - it was a sense of urgency but also a sense of fear, directing straight to himself.
The fear in his fathers voice made him tense up, not wanting to ask what was wrong but he had to know... what was wrong...
