    Summary

    Buck dies, and he’s cold right away. They all are, this isn’t the kind of summer storm where the rain is almost warm. It’s freezing out here, even under all the layers of their gear. Bobby’s sure his own skin is corpse-cool, but he holds Buck and the harness pulls him stiff in his arms, and his body is cold, and he thinks Wait. It’s happening too fast. Wait. He’s dead, and Bobby lays him carefully on the gurney, and he rides up front with Eddie as they tear through the streets towards the hospital, frantic noise and movement reaching them from the back. He’s dead when they pull up to the doors. The human body begins to decay after four minutes, starts to consume itself, the final hunger. Bobby hears the crack of his sternum when Eddie’s palms press so far into his chest his heart starts to beat again. 43 seconds to spare.

    Summary

    When he’s sick, he still wants Maddie.

    Buck knows it isn’t weird. It isn’t that weird, at least, for the two of them; most people instinctively want their mom when they’re sick. He’s rescued and transported enough sick and injured people to know that it isn’t exactly uncommon. Buck just always kind of thought he might grow out of it some day.

    He thought he’d get over it in high school, when Maddie was beyond his reach and he was basically an adult already and shouldn’t need his big sister’s comfort anyway. He thought he’d be over it when he made it to L.A., when he graduated from the academy, when he finished his probationary year. He really thought that he’d be over it when he got into his first serious relationship.

    But every time he has a cold and can’t fall asleep because it’s too hard to breathe, whenever he eats at the wrong food truck and ends up puking his guts out on the bathroom floor, whenever he has a hard shift or makes an obvious mistake or Abby doesn’t pick up the phone, some small, stupid part of his dumbass baby brain cries: I want Maddie.
