3 days later

'Are you sure you're ready to go back to work?' TK asked his husband
'I'm desperate, tiger'
'Please, try not to over-exert yourself'
'No promises, babe. Who knows what weirdos are out there today. Come on we're gonna be late'

It had been 3 days since Carlos was discharged from hospital. TK had kept him on bed rest but finally, Carlos convinced him to let him go back to work. TK was also returning to work that day, as Tommy had give him a few days off to look after Carlos. The drive to the firehouse was quiet, Carlos occasionally looked over at TK but he was silent, looking out the window.
'What are you thinking babe' Carlos asked him with some concern
'Nothing much'
'TK, I know when something's going on'
'I'm fine I promise'
Carlos pulled up to the firehouse and as TK went to get out the car, Carlos put his hand on his neck
'You can talk to me, TK'
'I said I'm fine'
'I know but-'
'I'll see you after my shift'
'TK wait-'
TK got out the car and walked into the firehouse. Carlos sighed and made his was to the police station.

'Hey son, good to see you back' Owen said upon noticing his son walking in
'Morning' he said walking past him
Owen looked back at his son. It was unlike TK to completely brush him off. Sometimes it was just TK having a bad day. Sometimes it was something worse but he didn't want to raise any suspicions yet.
