Chapter Text
It had been 2 days since Buck had gone undercover and he had gone to the escort agency that the other men had worked for and they immediately signed him up and asked him a few questions like what is Buck's purpose in doing this and how he would feel about going out with a client who turned out to be a man and how would Buck feel about having sex with a man and Buck said he had no issues and the women who ran the agency did say that they don't take any illegal drugs and if Buck was caught doing that then he was automatically fired and Buck said he never takes drugs and if any one of his clients do then he won't see them again or have an contact with them.
The first night Buck only had a few clients but nothing happened as they were all guys who were just interested in having someone to talk to.
Buck had just left his latest client and as walked through the streets of New York he felt like someone was following him so Buck put his hand out and shouted for a taxi and once in the taxi he told the driver to take him to 8070 Harbor View Terrace and the driver said that's fine.
20 minutes later and the taxi pulled up at the address Buck gave and he paid the driver and got out and once he closed the taxi door he saw from a distance that someone was watching him but Buck acted like he didn’t notice so he went up to the house and knocked on the door and acted like he was seeing another client.
Jamie,Frank,Henry and Danny were having a boys night and having a few drinks so when they heard a knock at the door they were surprised as they had already had their food delivered so they were surprised to hear the door going.
Jamie goes and sees who it is and when he opens it he is shocked to see that Buck is standing in front of him and he is in a suit and it's clear the man has been on a date.
Buck comes face to face with Jamie and he is glad that it was not Danny or Frank that opened the door.
“Hi I'm Buck and I take it you must be Jamie” Buck says introducing himself and Jamie gets the feeling that Buck is being watched.
“Yes I'm sorry just a little bit nervous” Jamie says.
“It's ok, may I come in?” Buck asks.
“Yes please do” Jamie says and he steps aside to let Buck in and once the man is inside the door is closed.
“Sorry I have someone following me” Buck says.
“I figured that” Jamie says.
Buck follows Jamie into the living room and Buck sees Frank,Danny and another man that Buck guess is the grandfather.
“Sorry about this sir but I was being followed and I thought this would make my cover more believable” Buck says.
“That's fine officer Buckley” Frank says.
“How do you know someone is following you?” Henry asks.
“Well since the person was watching me when I came out of the restaurant and then when I got in the taxi and they followed and no matter what way the cab driver went they didn't change direction so I would say I'm being followed” Buck says.
Buck can tell this guy is trying to make out he doesn't know what he is talking about and Buck won't have that.
Frank looks at his father and then at Buck and he knows Buck won't back down.
“Well they are still out there” Jamie says as he looks through the window but making it look like he is closing the blinds.
“OK here is what we do” Frank says and everyone looks at him.
“Buck I want you to stay here for at least 2 hours so it gives the impression that Jamie is a client.
Danny, I want you to get in touch with Detective Curatola and tell her when she is patrolling the street she is pretending she is following a lead.
Jamie, I want you to get in touch with Renzulli and tell him that there is someone who looks suspicious watching the house but you can't act on it as you may blow a fellow officer who is undercover and if he asks who is the undercover tell him I have said that he can't know at the moment.
And pops why don't you go and make Buck a plate of the food we have ordered?” Frank says.
“Francis what is going on and who the hell is this wannabe cop?” Henry asks.
“Wow you really are stuck in the past aren't you” Buck says.
“Excuse me I am someone who respects the badge and clearly you don't as any good cop would know not to bring the person following them to the police commissioners house” Henry goes over to Buck and gets in his face.
“Don't speak to me in that tone of voice old man as you may be the father to the police commissioner but it doesn't give you the right to speak to people in that disrespectful way and since you want to question my ability as a cop let me make myself clear I figured out I was being followed in less than 30 seconds and I knew it was connected to this case I have been asked to help with so my first response is to get rid of the person and see if they slip up but they weren't leaving their target so the next thing I do is lure them into a trap so I can gain the upper hand but again they gave me no angle so the only thing left to do is act like I don't know I'm being followed but make sure I have back up so I go to my superior who just happens to be your son but to make sure the person doesn't know I'm going to another police officer I come up with a story and luckily your grandson knew to play along so what about my ability that you have an issue with?” Buck asks.
Frank is completely impressed with Buck and it's clear he has used some of the skills he had when he used to be a firefighter.
“Well pops are you going to answer officer Buckley?” Frank asks.
“No I'm not I'm going into the kitchen and that's where I'm staying until he has left” Henry says and he leaves the living room.
“Just ignore what my father has said Buck as its clear he has his own issues” Frank says.
“I'm sorry for the way I have spoken sir but I will not allow anyone to walk all over me” Buck says.
“Honestly Buck it's fine” Frank says.
“Come on I'll take you to the kitchen and you can get some food” Jamie says to Buck.
Jamie leads Buck into the kitchen and shows him where the plates are and Henry gives Buck a look and Buck ignores him.
Jamie leaves the kitchen and phones Renzulli and gives him the information of what has happened and Renzulli understands and says that the undercover officer doesn't need to worry as he would never jeopardize their position and he is 15 minutes out and Jamie says he appreciates it and both men hang up.
Danny gets in touch with his partner and informs her of what has gone down and she says she will stick to the plan.
Once off the phone Danny sees Jamie leaning against the wall and he goes over to him.
“So grandad getting a dressing down from a rookie I'm so glad I came here tonight” Danny says and he laughs.
Jamie ends up laughing and he admits it was a fun thing to see their granddad getting a dressing down as sometimes the man forgets that the police force needs to change with the times.
“So what do you think of Buck?” Jamie asks.
“Well the fact he was able to stand his ground with grandad and he figured out he was being followed within less than 30 seconds it shows he it's dumb plus he has other skills that aren't taught at the academy so no wonder dad wanted his help plus he looks like the victims so that helps” Danny says.
“Yeah the way he defended himself and when he gave his explanation there were bits that didn't fit so I wonder if he learned those skills somewhere else” Jamie says.
“I think he must have but I don't know as dad's the one who brought him in” Danny says.
“Can't you look at his file?” Jamie asks.
“Danny can't as he doesn't have the privileges to do so plus it's got nothing to do with him” Frank says.
Both Danny and Jamie look at their dad and they know that they don't have any right to go snooping around other people's files and especially Jamie and what happened with the whole Blue Templar fiasco.
“I am the only one who knows what skills Buck has and if he wants to tell you that's his choice so don't pressure him and let him come to you guys if he so chooses” Frank says.
Buck comes out of the kitchen and asks if he may use the bathroom and Danny shows him where it is and leaves Buck and heads downstairs.
A few minutes later and Buck comes downstairs and he sees Detective Curatola and another person there but Buck figures it's the guy called Renzulli.
“Buck, let me introduce Sergeant Renzulli,” Frank says.
“Nice to meet you Sergeant Renzulli,” Buck says and he holds out his hand for the man to shake.
“You too. I'm sorry I don't know your last name” Renzulli says.
“My last name is Buckley but people call me Buck” Buck says.
“Well like I said nice to meet you and please don't worry I won't blow your undercover identity” Renzulli says.
“That's good. So what do we know?” Buck asks.
“Well first of all well done on spotting the fact you were being followed as it turns out the person following you happened to be the boyfriend of one of the victims and he said he didn't want the same thing that happened to his boyfriend to happen to you and when Renzulli who by the way is a very good actor asked how he got your information and what dates you were going on the secretary of the agency showed her face and it turns out she had given him the information and Renzulli told them both they have two options one was they could book into hotel rikers or option two is they leave immediately and they don't face charges” Detective Curatola says.
“Let me guess they chose the second option” Danny says in his sarcastic tone of voice.
“Give Danny a medal” Buck says and he matches Danny’s sarcastic tone.
“God you two together as friends is going to be a nightmare” Detective Curatola says.
Both Danny and Buck start to laugh and it's true and they both know it.
Danny can tell Buck is a good guy and he doesn't have that many guy friends so he thinks how nice it will be to have a friend who not only understands the job but doesn't expect him to change who he is.
Buck likes the idea of being Danny’s friend and he can tell Danny is a good person so he makes a choice and that's to open up to him and tell him a little bit about his life.
