    Summary

    “Bobby came up with this,” Athena says, tapping a finger against the letter, “to try and help you. He really believed in you, Buck.”

    “He was going to tell me to leave the 118?” Buck says.

    “You know that's not the point,” She then mumbles more so to herself than to him, “Lord, he said this would be a fight, he just didn't say I would be the one fighting it.”

    Or; weeks after Bobby's death Buck is facing a team that still treats him like he's fragile, a best friend that's taking his home back, and feeling more lost than he ever has. One of Bobby's last gifts to him is a way out and forward, so Buck takes it. He just doesn't necessarily tell everyone where he's going.

    Evan Buckley as he never knew he could be: a story in five acts.
