Summary
No, he doesn't mind all of that. He doesn't mind anything right now. Not when he has his hands wrist deep in the dirt in the slightly-shaded side yard, feeling around for leftover roots from the tree of heaven that he'd pulled out an hour ago: cut it down with a handsaw, forgoing the poison that reddit suggested because he didn't want Jee touching it accidentally, then splitting the trunk down with a hatchet so he could remove it piece by piece. Not when he's carefully avoiding the bulbs, the irises and the daffodils, because it's the wrong time of year to disturb them. Not when nobody's looking at him so nobody can see that his eyes are leaking a little bit, because—well, it's LA; they probably need the moisture, even if it is a little salty. No, he doesn't mind at all.
Buck digs around a little. Tommy invites him to leave.

Summary
"Evan," Tommy says, and the brittle look on his face makes Buck stop laughing right then and there. "What's going on?"
"Oh, you know," Buck says. "I'm being evicted."
Buck doesn't find a new home. He makes it.

Summary
Buck thought going back to the 118 would be hard, but he knew that his team, his family, would move on from the lawsuit. Only Bobby placed him on B-Shift where his team and new Captain have made it their mission to make Buck's life a living hell. When it becomes too much and Buck starts thinking about ending it all, he receives a life-changing phone call from Captain Owen Strand who would like Buck to come join them down in Austin at the 126. Buck immediately jumped at the opportunity to get away from everything. Only his mental health problems didn't go away with the move and Buck struggles with what happened and how to start a whole new life. The 126 are not about to let him go through this alone and together they show Buck that he has a family with them and they would never turn their backs on him.
