Eddie's POV:

We all take a seat into the lounge after we all greet each other. Bobby stays standing as we all take seats around him.

Bobby: He clears his throat. Okay. Now as to why our friends are here. As most of you know we are going to be down a few firefighters including Buck and Chimney. So we need to find some temporary help. I decided to have my good friend Owen Strand in and bring in someone to help us.

Ravi: So, why are there three here?

Bobby: Ah yes. Owen, can you explain and like... introduce yourselves... I want coffee. He turns around and walks towards the kitchen not even waiting for a response. Owen: Sure Captain. Hey y'all, I'm Owen Strand. Fire Captain of the 126 in Austin Texas. This is my son who is a paramedic at the same station. After your Captain called me I figured I myself would come down and bring along one of the best paramedics I know. As for Carlos Reyes, he is a police officer, one of the best. So we figured to let him come on down and work along with one of your bests, Athena Grant.

Hen: Woah woah woah wait- Athena is going to have a partner? She burst out into laughter. She- She said she would never work with anyone, guess our Athena is going soft.

Athena: She walks around the corner with a small smile on her face. I was the one who offered. I was surprised by his work on a case I helped out with a while ago. I figured I'd let him work alongside me. She points at Hen. I am not going soft.

We all begin talking about our life here in LA and their life in Austin. Turns out Owen and T.K. moved to Austin from New York, damn what a move. We stayed and talked for a while just enjoying the company of one another. Eventually the conversations started to split into their own little things. Carlos and T.K and ended up talking with Buck and I.

T.K: So Eddie, are you and Buck like a... thing? He gestures at both of us.

Buck: He let out a laugh which made me smile. You mean dating T.K?

Carlos: Yeah he means dating.

Buck: A huge smile lights up his face. Yeah one month today actually. He grabs my hand and kisses it.

Eddie: What about you two? I figured I should contributor to the conversation instead of looking like a shy blushing highschool girl as Buck kissed my cheek.

Carlos: T.K nods his head as Carlos begins speaking. Yeah, we have been together for a while now. I'd say about two years now? Carlos looks over at T.K who nods his head once again.

We begin talking about how we all met. Eventually Buck fell asleep on my shoulder. His face didn't look calm but also not distressed. Every now and then his face would stir.

Buck's POV:

Bobby: Diaz, Buckley, Go take care of that motorcyclist over there.

Eddie: On it Cap!

Me and Eddie both rushed over to a man who was thrown about 20-25 ish feet away from the accident. He was laying on the ground not moving. He wasn't breathing. Eddie began doing compressions on the man as I watched the man look up at me. Wasn't he just unconscious? I decided I should take over on doing compressions. I was doing compression when I felt a hand on my shoulder and was pulled away from the man.

I looked around and there was nothing around me and the man I was doing compressions on beside a blinding white color. He took me by my shirt collar and started screaming at me. "WHY DIDN'T YOU SAVE ME BUCKLEY. I HAD A FAMILY! THIS IS YOUR FAULT" I tried to speak up but nothing came out. I'm sorry, I'm sorry I couldn't save him. I could hear Eddie yelling at me, but I couldn't wake up.

A/N: Hey guys... I know I said would get this chapter out soon, but I didn't. I lost motivation for a few days. This is also why this chapter also sucks. I promise the next chapter will be better!
