Who: Maddie and Buck
Where: At the 118
When: Friday afternoon
What: Maddie stops by the fire station to drop off some cookies
Status: Closed and ongoing

Maddie had decided she was going to make a stop with Jee-Yun to the 118. She had cookies she had made for everyone. And it would be a great chance for her daughter to see her Uncle. She had told Jee what they were going to do and the toddler clapped her hands.

With the cookies and the baby in hand she walked up to the station with Jee in a stroller. Immediately she saw Buck and smiled. “Hey there! Thought I’d drop these by for everyone. Plus Jee wanted to see her favorite uncle. How have you been?”

As much as he loved his sister, and he did, she basically raised him instead of their parents which was just... unfair to them both really, he sometimes wished she understood that he was an adult and it wasn't her responsibility to take care of him anymore. He was responsible for that. But she'd gotten a lot better about it over the years that they'd been reunited and he liked to think he had gotten better about taking care of himself, too. Lightning strike not withstanding. That was a freak accident and he had done everything correctly when they were at the scene. That wasn't his fault!

"Nah, nothing too crazy, just an RTA over on Whilshire, minor injuries and all that," it wasn't minor to the people in the accident, but for them it wasn't too bad. Just triage injuries and cleanup more than anything. He would never complain though, he was grateful to be back doing what he loved, "Give it a few hours, I'm sure rush hour will bring something new and interesting." Taking a cookie, he broke it in half and handed one to Jee as he shoved the other in his mouth.

Their childhood was complicated and she’d always done her best to make sure she could do as much for Buck as she could. And right now was no different, getting struck by lightning and dying wasn’t something she took lightly. Even when Buck said he could take care of himself she still worried about him. Since then she had done her best to ease up on him.

“I’m sure you all got it taken care of and everything is just fine for everyone.” Maddie took the calls and they cleaned them up. It happened day to day and accidents could happen to anyone. She shrugged. “You never know what’s going to come at you next now do you?” She looked at the time, she would soon need to take her daughter home for a nap.
