Chapter 43
T.K P.O.V
I try to process this information. I'm not really awake yet. Did I understand it right? I have absolutely no idea.
Carlos: still hoping it's just a Dream That you are in our bedroom in the middle of the night *mumbles into the pillow*
Buck: didn't you listen?
T.K: we did. Give us a few minutes to wake up again. I mean we were asleep. So who told you that information
Buck: someone called me and said That Eddie told him to do that.
Carlos: maybe it was just a dream buck. Go back to sleep *is half asleep again*
T.K: no i don't think it was a Dream. Show me your phone.
Buck: why? *hands it to him* what do you want to check?
T.K: the Number *googles it* it's a number from Afghanistan.
Carlos: wait *sits up again* so tell us exactly what he told you
Buck: there was an accident...don't know exactly, he just said that they got attacked and he got shot and something exploded...I don't know *sighs*
T.K: you know how bad it is? *sighs*
Buck: pretty bad...right now they can't transport him to a hospital. It's too dangerous...I don't know more...the connection failed after that...
Carlos: okay so we have to wait?...
T.K: looks like that...
Buck: we can't just do nothing I mean...
T.K: Buck what do you want to do? Fly to Afghanistan to save him? They have the best man there. He can do this. Someone will inform us as soon as they have news.
Buck: okay okay *sighs* I should...
Carlos: go back to bed *sighs* we all need to work tomorrow....
Buck: don't know if I can sleep now...
T.K: yeah me too...
I go to the door with buck and lie down afterwards. I am awake now...Carlos fell asleep again. I'm jealous. I want to sleep as well...
But I don't have the luck that I can sleep again... in the Morning I get up and drink coffee.
Carlos: Good Morning babe *smiles softly and kisses him*
T.K: Morning *sighs* you look better than me
Carlos: didn't you sleep?
T.K: not after Buck was there *sighs* come on let's go. It's late
We kiss each other one last time before we get into our cars and drive to work. I take a deep breath before I walk inside. Mateo is waiting for me with a huge smile on his face.
Mateo: good morning *smiles* you look, tired. *laughs*
T.K: thanks I'm happy to see you too *laughs*
Mateo: were you so nervous that you couldn't sleep?
T.K: no it's *sees his dad* I'll tell you later. Can you show me everything?
Mateo: of course
He shows me around and I change. Then I kind of try to hide but this doesn't work very long. My dad finds me.
Owen: we need to talk
T.K: i don't need to talk thanks *smiles*
Owen: about your work here *looks at him serious* I know you don't like me much Right now but I'm your captain.
T.K: i know That thanks. So?
Owen: welcome to the 126 Probie
T.K: thanks *walks to the kitchen*
Mateo: you okay?
T.K: I'm great. *checks his phone*
No new messages from Buck. Hopefully we get news soon.
Working with my dad is horrible. He treats me like a piece of shit. Probably his revenge for me ignoring him. Gosh I have no idea. In this shift I already cleaned the kitchen, the bathrooms and the toilets. We had a few calls. Everyone is playing cards but I went to the sleeping area and sit down on my bed. I decide to facetime Carlos. He's already home because his shift ended two hours ago.
Carlos: *stands in the kitchen* hey babe *smiles*
T.K: Hey *smiles softly* how are you? How was your shift
Carlos: it was good. Not so many calls but good *smiles* how is your shift? You don't look happy *looks at him worried*
T.K: I'm not happy *sighs and puts his chin on his knees* I'm...I just want to go home and cuddle with you in bed...
Carlos: so bad? What's wrong babe
T.K: he's treating me like...like...I don't know *sighs* like it's a kind of revenge for him...most of my time here I cleaned something...the kitchen or the bathroom or the toilets *looks down*
Carlos: have you talked to him? About it
T.K: about what? The work thing or the personal thing?
Carlos: both. *looks at him*
T.K: i don't want to talk about the personal thing...not here not now not yet..:Mateo tried to say something about the work thing but it didn't work out...and I feel like no one is liking me except for Mateo
Carlos: i bet that's not true. Just give them some time. I mean your new and they don't know you.
T.K: normally I would say that but they know me...they know me for years.
Carlos: but they never worked with you before.
T.K: yeah you're right *sighs* did you hear anything from Buck
Carlos: no but I tried to reach someone. I mean the number who called Buck. I talked to him. His name is Thomas Smith. He's a good friend from Eddie. We didn't talk for long but he said that they hope to transport Eddie soon. He needs a hospital. They can't help him how they could in a hospital. He's stable that's what counts
T.K: thank god he's alive.
Carlos; hopefully it stays like that. We will see. Okay I'll go to bed now babe. I have to work tomorrow
T.K: wait so we don't see each other? *pretends to cry and laughs afterwards*
Carlos: tomorrow evening *smiles*
T.K: okay I'll cook something for us. When does your shift ends?
Carlos: 8pm. I'll be home around 8:30pm.
T.K: okay. Love you.
Carlos: love you too *smiles and hangs up*
I sigh and cuddle up in my bed. I try to stop thinking but it doesn't work. My eyes are closed but I can hear the others.
Judd: there he is Cap. He's in bed.
Owen: asleep already?
Judd: looks like that.
Owen: okay then I'll talk to him tomorrow. Lets go to bed as well
Judd: sounds like a great idea.
They leave the room again. Marjan lies down In the bed next to me. Mateo on the other side. I turn around and look at him.
Mateo: you okay?
T.K: yeah think so...can you help me sneak out tomorrow morning after shift?
Mateo: sure why?
T.K: my dad wants to talk with me about the personal stuff and I really don't want to.
Mateo: okay we can do this *grins* Good Night
T.K: thanks. Good Night
I close my eyes and finally fall asleep after I thought a lot about everything. We have luck. We can sleep the whole night. When I wake up I see a message on my phone. It's from Buck „They are transporting him home...looks pretty bad.."
