Summary
“9-1-1, what’s your emergency?” he knows that voice instantly, and while it loosens some of the dread in his gut, it still spikes his anxiety. He’d rather it wasn’t Maddie on the line with him, just as much as he’s thankful to hear her voice.
“Hey, Mads.” His voice is strained, a little shaky from the pain, but he’s sure she hears him from the intake of breath. “I’m kinda—I’m stuck. My radio is—I can’t reach it.” He hears Maddie take a breath, steadying herself on the other end of the line.
“Okay, Firefighter Buckley,” ah, they’re going for professional detachment, “I’ll patch through 118, try and stay on the line.” It’s not like he’s going to go anywhere.

Summary
“Okay, Operation Candy Haul 2027, let’s do it.” Jee squeals in delight as she leaps to high-five Chris, twirling around to let her dress flair out.
It’s early enough that Buck doesn’t have to leave the porch lights on, but he does put the bucket of candy on the stoop, the note that they’re out Trick or Treating and to take a piece of candy written in Eddie’s careful penmanship since, according to Chris, no one would be able to read Buck’s writing.

Summary
“I called mom and dad,” Maddie blurts out suddenly, mid-pace. Usually, it’s not even a thought, calling their parents. But they were in Los Angeles for Jee-Yun’s birthday three days ago, and they weren’t flying out for another four days. Not that they’ve made the effort to see them or anything, they’re merely in the same city. “I called them while the doctor saw Jee and you were getting the scan on your ribs.” Which was over an hour ago.
“Okay, so—So you called them to let them know we’re probably not up for dinner tomorrow, right?” That’s the only reason Buck can think of. Knowing their parents, they’ll change the reservation to a meal for two and leave them be.
“I told them the three of us were in an accident, that we were going to the hospital.” Buck is aware he’s staring, but he’s pretty sure his sister hit her head harder than they’d first thought.

Summary
“You remember the last time we were here?” Evan asks lightly, although it was hardly the happiest occasion for them all, “You had to fix my tie then too.”
“Sure,” Maddie laughs at the memory, remembering how Evan tugged at his collar constantly, leaving his tie off-centre constantly, “I didn’t have to reach up back then, though.” He rolls his eyes at her teasing, but they both know his final growth spurt didn’t hit until right before he was seventeen and left him outgrowing all his pants. “You still look as handsome as ever.”
---
Maddie and Evan repeat an experience with entirely different feelings for the whole thing, and a family reunion they never expected.Part 6 of Buckley Siblings Week
