Bookmarker's Notes
"If it was fine for him to lie about Daniel, to lie about the PPD, to lie about how Maddie was coping then Chimney could damn well get over Buck not telling him Jee-Yun had been to a doctor when he didn’t have all the facts."

Summary
Still off balance, Buck slams his left heel onto the roof, heaving forward to catch the collar of that yellow shirt. And there’s no conscious decision making here. It’s all instinct, and he’s grateful for it. If he’d given his overzealous mind the chance to consider another way, he would have missed his shot. Instead, his arms hurl the boy into the hands of another survivor...
And his right foot misses the edge.
OR
Buck catches Chris before he rolls off the firetruck, and it's him who falls back into the retreating waters of the tsunami. Unconscious and seriously injured, he's unaware that his team has been searching for him, never giving up as the days pass.

Summary
After the tsunami, Buck doesn't become a fire marshal. He joins Dispatch, and he works there until he is cleared to go back to work once he is off the blood thinners. But Buck's confidence in himself and his abilities has been shot ever since he lost Christopher in the tsunami, blame and fear convincing him that he isn't ready to go back to firefighting because he doesn't trust himself anymore. So, at dispatch he stays.
Until a call to 3-Alarm fire downtown goes sour and leads to the first responders scrambling for help, but help isn't coming.
Until Buck realises he is the only help available.
