Eddie's hands are shaking as he sits in the truck. He clasps them together in hopes of getting them to remain still. It just barely works, so he tries to focus on his breathing.

"Eddie, are you listening?"

"What? Sorry, Cap," he says softly.

"I said, do you want to call Maddie? Chim is kind of busy driving the ambulance," Bobby says.

"Y-yeah, okay," Eddie says as he takes his phone out. He dials the number and listens to it ring.

"Eddie?" Maddie's voice comes through the phone.

"H-hey, Maddie," Eddie tries his best to keep his voice from shaking, "something's happened."

"Oh, God," Maddie says, "what?"

"B-buck's been injured. I don't know any details, but it's bad, Maddie. It's really bad," Eddie says, tears forming in his eyes.

"What hospital?"

"Mercer," is all Eddie says before Maddie hangs up.

As he pulls the phone away from his ear, he can see Lucy and Ravi looking at him with sad expressions. Bobby was turned around to look at him too, his expression even sadder. They arrive at the station and Eddie jumps out of the rig before the truck pulls to a complete stop. He ignores Bobby trying to lecture him as he rushes to the locker room. He sees the B-shift crew already there as he rips his turnouts off and gets into his street clothes. As he shuts his locker, he leans his head against it. the cold metal seems to ground him, even if only slightly. Bobby watches from outside the locker room. Before he can even think about going in, Eddie storms out as he jogs to his truck.

"Evan Buckley?"

Maddie, Eddie, Bobby, Athena, Chimney, Hen, and Karen all walk over to the doctor. Eddie's eyes are red, his hair messy.

"I'm his sister, Maddie Buckley," Maddie says softly.

"Your brother came into the ER with multiple injuries. For the most part, we were able to stabilize the injuries. He unfortunately went into cardiac arrest from the traumas his body endured. We were able to resuscitate him, but he remains in a coma due to cerebral hypoxia."

"A c-coma?" Eddie questions incredulously.

"Yes. For now, he appears to be breathing on his own. If you'd like, we can bring you to his room. Two visitors are allowed in the room at once."

"I'll go," Maddie says, "Eddie, do you want to join?"

"Y-yeah, sure. If it's alright with you," Eddie says.

The two of them follow the doctor through the hallways and up some stairs before they reach a room. As the two of them walk in, Eddie feels himself take in a deep breath as Maddie covers her mouth. Buck is laying in the bed with wires connected to him, oxygen tubes in his nose, and bruises and bandages covering his arms and face. Maddie walks and sits in the chair closest to her brother. Eddie sits next to her with a sigh. His eyes are fixated on Buck, as if willing him to open his eyes.
