    Summary

    At least Buck’s okay. He’s outside, safe, doing his job. Buck’s okay, which means no matter what happens inside this van, If the crushing weight of the fridge takes him before Buck can get to him, if the van pancakes or flips or any number of likely disasters occur, if Eddie dies in here, alone, and in pain, then…

    He thinks of Mallory, of Jo. How they’d called out for each other.

    His eyes shut briefly as Mallory’s words echo in his head. “She’s not my daughter. Jo’s mother was my best friend… she saved me so many times.”

    Or: what 6x18 could've been

    Summary

    “I don’t like this, man,” Eddie sobbed, catching Chimney’s attention again. The sudden flood of tears streaming down Eddie’s cheeks was unexpected, but it was as if all the fight had gone out of him the second he had been restrained. He looked terrified, his forehead resting against the wall as his shoulders continued to shake, and it tugged at Chimney’s heart in a completely unexpected way.

    He had already started to like Eddie, but this was something more. It was an instinctual urge to protect that he had experienced with Bobby, and Hen, and even Buck.

    But never Eddie before this moment.

    Yet here Chimney was, about to smack a cop for putting someone he cared about in handcuffs while high.

    Summary

    “His shirt’s on inside out,” Josh commented to Linda. Eddie opened the door to the breakroom and tried to let it close behind him, but that did not deter either of his colleagues. “Is this a walk of shame?”

    “Well, I am walking,” Eddie confirmed, rounding the counter and beelining to the empty coffee pot. “And full of shame.”

    “What happened?”

    “I stood him up,” he answered, shortly.

    After what was probably a very involved silent conversation between Linda and Josh, Josh said, “Eddie, if you aren’t ready, I’m sure he’d understand.”

    “I am ready,” he said, detaching the water reservoir with more force than necessary. “I didn’t do it on purpose.”

    Eddie: I think your brother is flirting with me.

    Maddie: He has been doing that for years.

    Eddie: Oh.

    Eddie: Good. Great, even. Fantastic. Exhilarating.

    Maddie: Do you want to elaborate further than just descriptive words?

    Eddie: No thanks.
