RYLIN GRACE

"Soooo" Rylin started. "How are you liking the 118 so far?" she asked.

Eddie chuckled. "Shouldn't Bobby or someone who's been here longer than the both of us be asking me that question?"

"I'm nosy."

Eddie made an oh, I know face, making Rylin role her eyes. "So what do you think about that Evan guy?" she continued.

"Odd dude. But he seems cool, I guess." Eddie shrugged, tying his shoes before looking up at Rylin who seemed extremely focused on something on the other side of the station. He looked over to see Rylin looking at Buck. He laughed, bringing Rylin's attention back to Eddie.

Rylin gave him a confused look. "What do you think about him?" Eddie asked with a huge smile on his face.

"If you think I like him, you're wrong. I just met him, that'd be weird." she started. "I'm looking at him because I agree. He's an odd dude. I mean, he's been looking in that mirror for like 5 minutes." Eddie understood her point as they laughed together over Buck's obsession with himself.

Soon enough, the bell in the station rang and Eddie and Rylin were heading out to their first call of the day.

——-

"So, Silver Star, huh?" Chimney asked, making small talk as the team sat in the firetruck on the way to the scene.

"Yeah." Eddie smiled proudly.

"You save a platoon or something?" Chimney continued.

"No, no, nothing like that. Uh, just a convoy."

"Eddie, uh, you heard about the hot firefighter calender?" Hen asked as Buck looked at Hen, basically scolding her.

"Sorry, the what?" Eddie laughed.

"It's for charity." Rylin mocked Bobby's exact words from earlier, making Bobby laugh from the Captain's seat.

"So is your full name 'Eduardo'?" Buck asked out of the blue.

"No." Eddie confirmed.

"People ever call you 'Diaz'?"

"Not if they want me to respond." Eddie added.

"Something's got to give." Buck said. "We got.. we got Cap, Hen, Chimney, Buck. We can't just call you Eddie."

"Can't tell if he's being serious or not." Eddie said.

"I like to always operate under the assumption that nothing he says is serious." Chimney says.

"What do people call you?" Buck says, ignoring Chimney's comment, looking at Rylin.

"Did you not catch my name when I came in?" Rylin questioned.
