When Eddie meets Bobby to talk about potentially joining the team, Bobby starts telling him a little bit about each team member, showing Eddie photos so he can have a face to the name. Make it a little more personal (he’s trying to convince this man to join them not the other station he was leaning towards.
“and this is Evan Buckley but everyone calls him Buck. Good kid. Great firefighter but I’ve been looking for the perfect partner to keep up with him. Someone he can learn a thing or two from. Someone who can learn a thing or two from him. I think you’d be the perfect fit.”
Eddie looks at the picture with a soft smile. He easily recognizes him. A few months back, Eddie had been watching the news and this man, Buck, had just lost someone at an amusement park. Eddie remembers how his heart had ached for this firefighter he didn’t even know.
Eddie studies the photo. He notices the still playful kind of innocence in this man’a eyes even after such a terrible work tragedy. His blue eyes bright, his smile so wide and genuine.
Eddie agrees with Bobby. He could learn a thing or two from this man.
“When do I start?”
