With the power still out, it now being day 5, all firefighters were asked to remain in the firehouse until everything was back under control. Against everyone's will, Buck and El were handed clipboards, being in charge of how the generator was used and distributed fairly amongst everyone.
With the room dark, merely lit up by soft blue toned lamps, Chimney came waltzing over demanding a charger, Buck taking the lead of course. "After a requisition form has been submitted, you will be issued a personal charging device." Buck stated and slid over the form.
"Once it is dead, you return it to the probie charging pool and it will be recharged for you" El added with a sarcastic smile.
"You can just say Ravi. Ravi will recharge it for you." Ravi interjected to which El and Buck shot him a look to remain quiet.
"One charge per 24 hours is the limit," El confirmed to Chimney.
"Do not attempt to bribe me or you will be docked two charges" Buck spoke sternly, taking his job too seriously.
"Give me a charger or Uncle Buck will never see his niece again" Chimney smirked, his hands on his hips, proud of himself.
"It's fine Buck, you have 2 nieces anyway" El smirked at Chimney, "And one happens to be my godchild"
"El, I can't be looking like I have favourites" Buck turned to her with a genuine saddened look, "Probie...Give him the charger"
"Weak" El laughed with an eye roll.
"Well played" Ravi spoke as he handed the charger to Chimney.
"Let this be a lesson. Never give Buck a clipboard" He said to Ravi before looking at El, "She...She's less evil...sometimes" He smirked before shuddering sarcastically and walking off.
"Excuse me for being efficient" Buck tossed his eyes with sas.
"I think you're doing great sweetie" El laughed softly, shaking her head.
"That's one word for it" Chimney called from afar.
"Dad!" The voice of Christopher echoed out.
"Hey! What are you guys doing here?" Eddie gleamed, his voice filling the hall.
A few moments later, Eddie, Ana and Christopher were all in view. "Hey Buck! Hey Aunt El" Chris beamed.
"Oh, looks like the new chief is here" Buck smiled as he hoisted Christopher up, giving him a big hug. "How are you?"
"Good. I'm good" He smiled and gave El a wave from behind Buck.
"Oh, Ravi, this is, uh, my son Christopher," Eddie spoke before leaning down to Chris where he had his arms wrapped around El "Chris, this is Ravi Panikkar."
As he let go of El he looked up at Ravi, "You're a firefighter?"
"I'm what they call a probationary firefighter," Ravi responded.
"Did you do something wrong?" He questioned.
"Constantly" Buck spoke before Ravi could, a mischievous look on his face. Ana gave out a soft laugh, awkward silence filling the air, Eddie appearing to be off.
"I'm Ana" She spoke, holding her hand out to Ravi.
"Hi" Ravi shook her hand. "You must be Eddie's wife?"
"Not yet" Chris exaggerated in a sweet tone.
El couldn't help but smile at Christopher's comment however it soon dropped when she saw the look of discombobulation on Eddie's face.
