    Summary

    “Diaz, you are hoarding Buckley?”
    His brain short circuits.
    “Gonna need you to give me context, Roz, we’ve talked about this.”
    “Is not hard to understand. You are making Buckley late for Rozhdestvo shift.”
    “No, the fuck I’m not! I didn’t even – shit, I didn’t even know he was working tonight. He’s – he hasn’t turned up?”
    Eddie feels an age-old panic curl in his gut.
    “Is okay, you are old man now, hearing problems are common. I will say louder for you. You are making Buckley late for-”
    “Jesus Christ, Rozanov,” Eddie growls down the phone.

    Or - Buck signs on to work the first Christmas since Bobby died because no one asks him to spend it with them. This, of course, means he stops to help a damsel in vehicular distress and ends up tied to a pipe in a basement. Of course, how else would it have gone?

    Summary

    "No!" Eddie screams, sounding like the word was ripped from his throat, like he's the one who just got shot. There's a beat or two before Buck understands why.

    On his side, a patch of dark red is slowly spreading across the blue of his uniform. He's looking down at it for a few seconds, like he doesn't understand what it is. And then the pain hits Buck, white hot and icy cold all at once, and his eyes roll into the back of his head as he crumples to the ground.

    Summary

    There's an insistent tapping on Buck's face, and Buck's eyes drift open back up towards-

    "Eddie," he says, maybe slurring through his name. It doesn't feel right, as if the words are buffering somewhere between his brain and mouth. 

    "Eyes on me," Eddie says, except it splits somewhere down the middle. 

    He has a determined look on his face, the one he wears when he's trying to make sense of a bad call, mouth set and ticked down at the corner. Buck knows that look as surely as he knows how to breathe, the same way his heart knows how to beat. Eddie is gravity, the pull at the center of Buck's world, and even now, when Buck can't find his footing, he can't help but be drawn toward him. 

    Behind Eddie's eyes, Buck sees fear. 

    -

    On the way to a routine call, the 118 engine is involved in a major lateral impact collision. It's confronting for Buck and Eddie, in more ways than one.

    Summary

    When Eddie’s young seatmate on a flight to El Paso tells the story of how a stranger saved his life from a car crash, Eddie promises to help find the guy and give closure to the kid’s near-death experience. Meanwhile, Eddie deals with his Abuela’s estate while trying to reach Buck, who’s gone off the grid during a spur-of-the-moment trip out of town.

    These things may be related.

    AKA How do you hold onto the things you want when all you’ve ever known is the feeling of them slipping out of your hands?
