“Eddie.” It’s Maddie’s voice, shaky and wet. “Have you heard from Buck?” “Not since I dropped Chris off this morning. They went to the movies,” he says and frowns as Maddie shudders through an inhale. “Maddie what’s the matter?” “I checked Instagram on my break to try and decompress a little.” His phone vibrates like he got a text message so he pulls it away from his ear and puts Maddie on speaker phone. “They didn’t go to the movies.” Eddie opens the text and his heart drops. It’s a screen shot of Instagram, a picture of Buck and Christopher very clearly on the pier as evidenced by the Ferris Wheel directly behind them. The time stamp on the picture is less than a half hour before the tsunami hit. “No,” Eddie says and doesn’t realize he says it out loud until Maddie sobs again. “I tried calling him, but I didn’t get an answer.” “No no no no,” Eddie says and he’s shaking his head this time because he can’t. He can’t lose Chris, he can’t lose Buck and he cannot survive losing them both.
