~Strange Salesman Visits~

Eddie opens the door, finding a man in front of his house holding a suitcase, "Can I help you?"

Usually he wouldn't endure people showing up unannounced but he was curious as to what this man had.

The man smiles brightly, "Surely I am able to help you, young man!" He opens up his suitcase for Eddie to look at, in it are a number of various things. From jewelry, to household tools to literal crystals and something like scrolls.

It was an odd sight, however the man never stopped smiling.

"I have a variety of things to sell for you-"

Eddie has slammed the door in the man's face, not wanting to deal with such bullshit.

"You didn't have to be so rude, you know?" Buck calls out from the living room, having heard the interaction and gotten up from the couch.

He wraps his arms around Eddie and pecks his cheek, "Christopher is in Texas and you don't like it, but strangers don't deserve your wrath."

Eddie sighs and leans into Buck's touch, he's whimpering a bit, unsure of what to tell Buck-

Surely making him aware that he feels like his parenting and life is a mistake in it's whole, however he knows it's not it. Christopher is growing and he's got feelings he doesn't know how to share, so technically him running away to his grandparents would be the calmer situation out of maybe not knowing where he is.

However not knowing how he is, is much worse.

"You're right, however that guy is creepy-" he points back to the door, hearing another gentle but questioning knock on it.

Apparently the man is still there.

Buck goes to open the door, seeing the man still there with his suitcase, "Oh! Maybe I can help you young man, look-" He opens up his suitcase for Buck to see.

It entails a few shirts neatly folded, cooking recipes, kitchen tools as well as a few great books on how to best be in a relationship and to figure yourself out.

Buck is bewildered- Eddie is freaked out.

"That is not what was in that suitcase earlier!"

The man chuckles, "Oh I have a lot of things for customers and everything as they need it."

Eddie looks at the man sternly, "We're not buying."

And slams the door again.

Surely that must have been the strangest thing LA could produce so far.

Plus, he pulls his phone and calls the police just to be safe.
