Saturday

Before Eddie knew it, it was Saturday morning. He left Christopher with Buck, and he had already hit the supermarket to get everything they needed and was in the middle of a run to the beer distributor when his text notification went off.

Fire Fam

Eddie: Guys, 3 pm at my place. Bobby and Buck are manning the grill. Athena made pulled pork and cornbread. Karen made macaroni and potato salad. Maddie is on dip patrol. Ravi and Albert are on ice duty. Chris and I made dessert.

Buck: Chim, did Maddie make her Cheddar Bacon Ranch Dip?

Hen: Eddie bakes?

Buck: Yeah, he's good at it too. Make sure to thank Linda.

Chim: Diaz, I am going to make my cheese log for today's festivities. Yes, Maddie made four kinds of dips, Buck.

Hen: Yeah, Chim. Why don't you save it for next week and serve it to your in-laws?

Eddie: You really don't.

Buck: Nice to know where your priorities are, Chim.

Buck: Wait, since when are my parents coming to town?

Chim: Um, I thought Maddie told you. They wanted to see Jee and our progress on the murder house. They are coming to ours for Thanksgiving.

Ravi: Murder house? I've missed so much...

Buck: Catch up, Probie.

Bobby: Buck...

Buck: Sorry, catch up, Ravi.

May: Holy shit. I knew I should have trademarked that name.

Athena: Language.

Eddie: I'm calling Karen.

Buck: I'm lost too, Probie.

Chim: What's wrong, Buck, can't find your way without your eye in the sky...

Hen: Let's change the subject. She's like Beetlejuice. You think TK three times, and boom.

Eddie: Really, Chim...
