Wait, what? Eddie pauses mid-bite, staring with wide eyes. "Chim got rebar through his forehead?" That explains that still-pink little scar on his forehead. But, Jesus, how is the man still alive? Other than 'a miracle.'

"It was completely insane." Is it horrible of her to be entertained by his reaction? Maybe, but sometimes the best way to deal with the crazy shit they've survived is telling some innocent bystander and watching their brain break. "When we got to the scene, he had no idea. Couldn't feel it from the shock. He even helped us decide how to transport him without wrecking all the good luck he had even surviving it."

"Holy shit."

There's really not much else that he can say in response to that. It's completely insane on so many levels. And honestly his level of respect for Chimney just went up. Even if he couldn't feel it, helping to triage and transport himself is a serious feat.

"If that's the top of the list, I kinda hope I don't ever have a call that takes its place."

"We wound up taking the entire car to the hospital." It was fully insane, and she's so grateful to be able to look back on it as a wild story and not one of the worst nights of the 118's lives - and thinking about it like that causes an edge of seriousness to seep into her mood. "Best not to jinx it."

He wonders for a moment if she's serious. Buck's demeanor changing a little would seem to indicate so but--that's a joke, right? He's just gonna assume that's a joke and move past it.

"How'd you get the entire car to the hospital?" he asks. "Tow truck?"

[onlythingthatmatters]

She shakes her head. "Put it on the flatbed of a truck. Easier to keep it steady that way."

Not like they wanted Chim getting even more hurt in transport.

[bombero]

"That's pretty ingenious." He is duly impressed. Go Chim or whoever else it was who came up with that idea.

"How totaled was his car?"

[onlythingthatmatters]

"Oh, his car was a goner."

She shakes her head ruefully as she has a sip of some water she'd brought over with her plate. "Ask him about it sometime if you want to see a grown man cry."
