It had been a week since Oliver left for his battalion job in Florida, Gabby having not spoken to him since the day of the fight and news.

In that week Gabriella had flown to Chicago to meet with an old army buddy from her days in the service.

"What going through your head" her friend Drake Reid asked.

"My boyfriend Oliver, my EX boyfriend broke up with me to move to Florida to have a battalion job a 9 months after I had a baby with him, his baby." Gabby explains.

"I'm sorry Gabriella" Drake responds.

She was on the flight home and it was on hell of a ride.

One passenger was a complete douche bag, calling the flight attendant babe every time he'd address her.

A little girl was playing with her toys.

A young boy in preparation for a date was practicing his magic tricks.

He had asked Gabby to pick a card, so she did, picking the queen of spades.

"The queen of spades" the boy says a smile on his face.

"How did you do that" Gabriella would ask him he turns the cards, the whole deck he has, to reveal that they are nothing but queens of spades.

That is when the plane jerks.

"Everyone brace yourselves for emergency landing" The flight attendant says as everyone is panicking.

"Hello" Buck says answering his phone.

"Buck it's Gabriella Savetti. I don't know how much time I have, but this plane it's going down, tell my brother I love him. I love you I wish I told you that and didn't date Oliver and saw you for the guy who wanted to love me. We are gonna crash into the ocean" Gabby says

"Guys mount up it's Savetti she's on a plane that's gonna go down" Buck says.

"Kean, Piel, Dixon, Pinkney, Willis, you guys are on a chopper to a plane crash in 5" Campbell says.

"Can I go too?" Mario asks

"We need you here" Campbell says Noa giving him an apologetic look.

When they get on scene Buck runs out of the rig and looks at the water, and of course everyone's too far away so he cannot make out the young Savetti's figure. And not for a lack of trying as he tries his hardest to find her.

"We need to get out there now" Bobby says as Buck gets a call.

"Hello" Buck says

"Buck please hurry I'm scared" Gabriella says fearfully.

"Honey we're coming for you, just get out of the plane if you can" Buck says.

"I can't I can't leave them" Gabriella says.

"Gabriella please we're coming let us do our job please" Bobby says taking the phone.

"I can't" Gabriella says.

Buck couldn't believe her.

Yeah he would have done the same thing, but he doesn't have a kid, let alone a baby waiting for him at home.

The real question that could be asked was if that would be the truth for much longer.

Buck boarded the plane to find Gabriella holding the hand of a women with her feet pinned.

Bobby was helping outside.

Buck has hooked Gabriella up with a walkie-talkie.

"You Guys Have three minutes" Bobby informs them.

"Take the boy Buck" Gabriella yells.

"I'm not leaving with out you" Gabby says to Tammy, the women sitting before her.

"Do you have kids" Tammy asks.

"Yes" Gabriella responds

"My son, I died while having him. But he kept me from leaving. What child deserves to grow up without their mother. I found my self leaving my body but I told myself that I had to stay for him" Tammy says.

"I'm gonna get you outta here, that wasn't the last time you were going to see your boy" Gabriella says to Tammy 

"Attach this to the seat, trust me I've seen it work before" Buck says coming back into the plane.

"I told you to get out of here" Gabriella snarled right when Buck is swept away by the water current.

"Buck" she yells as she grabs hold of Tammy as the plane continues to sink as she dives down into the water.

Next thing Gabriella can remember is being pulled up and Tammy grabbing hold of her wrist with everything she has.

The next thing Gabriella knows she's waking up in a transportation vehicle in bucks arms.

Tammy is wrapped up in a blanket beside her.

"What do we got" Mario asks as his sister enters the ER with the gurney

"36 year old female, her name is Tammy, I was sitting next to them, her feet were pinned you ought to check them out for damage that could be permanent, this is her son Cooper" Gabriella says as they tool into center stage.

When her back is turned to him that's wen Mario realizes that his sister is wearing Bucks turnout jacket. 

"Buck Can I talk to you for a second in private?" Mario asks.

"What's up" Buck asks as they enter the break room.

"Ask her"Mario says.

"Excuse me" Buck asks questioningly

"You like her and she knows it, and she likes you.  She needs someone and I can trust you." Mario says.
