    Summary

    Buck’s had a lot of time to think about his decisions. The seconds it had taken to say “Parlay.” The minutes it had taken for the pirates to strong-arm him and march him down to the same dock the other group of pirates had dropped him off at, the time it had taken for them to row out to the ship with familiar black sails, cannon fire above their heads all the while.

    Neither pirate speaks, and Buck doesn’t find the need to fill the silence like he normally would.

    For the second time in twelve hours, Buck is taken captive by pirates.

    He’s sure he’s setting a record somewhere.

    Summary

    “I told him you could help.” Christopher says with such confidence that Eddie’s heart jumps into his throat. Because to Eddie, this isn’t a fight he can win. “Please help him.”

    “Christopher.” Eddie whispers and looks back down at the likely dying wild animal his son brought home.

    “Please?” Christopher’s eyes are wide and wet and looking at him with such hope.

    What can Eddie do? Say no? Of course not. “I’ll try, but Mijo, it looks pretty hurt.”

    “You can save him.” Christopher insists. “I know you can.”

    Or: Christopher saves a fox on a field trip that ends up not being a fox after all.

    Summary

    "She had 9-1-1 talk her through a field tracheotomy.”
    Immediately, Buck’s free hand flies towards his throat. He’s only just grazed a patch of gauze before Hen catches his hand and pulls it away.
    “Abby… Is a great dispatcher, but she doesn’t have any field experience. Getting instructions over the phone and using a steak knife isn’t really a recipe for a good outcome.” Buck finally looks back over at Hen, and even in the dim light, he can see the tears forming at the corners of her eyes. “The good news is that she was able to open an airway and keep the oxygen flowing to your brain…”
    Hen trails off, and Buck gives her hand a little squeeze.
    “…The bad news is knife slipped, or she applied too much pressure, and the incision went much further than it should have.”
    ---
    Abby's hand slips when giving Buck a field tracheotomy, and he ends up losing his voice. Despite him thinking so, it's not the end of the world, especially when he meets his replacement.

    Summary

    "E– Evan, what are you doing here?"

     

    Oh.

     

    He realizes, then, that no one is coming. Not for him, at least. No one even noticed he disappeared.

     

    Or

    Buck is kidnapped by a serial killer. Only when Maddie is taken too, do his friends notice his absence. A race against time begins, and the killer has a headstart. But even if they are found in time, some wounds may take longer to heal than others.
