I can't stop imagining if bobby is missing presumed dead (yay) or in witness protection (yay) or actually deceased (wah), buck being in a state of absolute shock and numbness until eddie arrives at the hospital without telling buck he was coming and seeing him in person for the first time in however many months is what makes buck break down

At work vibrating at heretofore unknown frequencies in excitement at such great angst potential

he he he ho ho ho

There’s blood under Buck’s nails. Blood and grit, ground right into the nail beds. He’s washed his hands a few times already but he still can’t shift it. Keeps making it worse if anything, scratching unconsciously at the scrapes like road rash on his forearms. Should have let the nurse finish dressing them, after she’d cleaned out the scrapes, but then Maddie had come in red-eyed and quiet and told him Athena was here and Buck had - 

Buck hadn’t -

He’d needed some air. That was what he’d sent to the group chat before silencing his phone. It’s fine; him and Maddie both track each other on Find My Friends, so she knows he hasn’t left the hospital grounds. If Athena needs to come scream at him, she can, no problem.

A sudden burst of stinging pain makes Buck jump. Blinking hard, he stares down at his right hand, where he's bitten one of his gritty, grimy fingernails right down past the quick, leaving a ragged stump of nail and tender pink skin and a rapidly growing bead of bright red blood.

His hands are still shaking. Buck watches his fingers tremble hard enough to dislodge a droplet of blood, sending it splattering to the ground, before he shoves his hands under his thighs. Trapping them there between the metal of the bench and the scratch of his turnout pants should stop the shaking, but instead the jitters just creep up his arms, curl around his shoulders like the weight of a turnout coat, until his whole body is shaking with it. A few nurses nearby on their smoke break keep shooting him sympathetic looks; they must have seen the news. Everyone in the building has by now, probably.

Okay all of the above but the sailors who find bobby are actually part of the pirate crew that hijacked the cruise last season and when they recognise bobby they decide to Teach Him A Lesson by burying him alive for some reason. Maybe they shove his coffin into the sea. (They didn’t find Bobby’s cell phone because idek, he keeps it in his underwear so it stays nice and warm)
