"Summer camp?" Eddie gives Buck a brochure of the camp that Christopher is going to. I'm shocked that he is even thinking about it. "It's all he can talk about, some of the other kids from school are going, even Santi, both of the kids won't stop talking about it. It's only two weeks."
"But you're a nervous wreck, it's written all over your face. I'm even more surprised that Santi wants to go. he hates summer camp, the kid gets homesick easily." Buck snaps his head fast to respond to Eddie. "Two weeks? Aren't the kids kind of young for that? I mean, what if something happens? Artemis has a point what if he gets homesick?"
"Look who's acting like a concerned parent, now?" I look up from my phone, "I'm pretty sure I brought the brochure so you guys can make me feel better about him going."
"Talk to Andreas about it, I'm pretty sure he'll convince you on that, instead of buck here trying to get you to overthink shit." I look at him and he sighs in his chair. "I started going to sleep away camp when I was 8, I loved it. looked forward to it every year." Bobby smiles at the memories. "Yeah but it's different with Hispanics and Latinos, we don't trust anyone with our kids, uno nuca sabe uno. Meaning you never know what may happen. Not even family relatives we trust our kids with, especially with the girls, it's a more sensitive topic. That's why Eddie and Buck are the first people to watch Santi without any of my brothers or me around." Buck and Eddie dap each other up. "She's not wrong, my sisters and I were never able to have sleepovers." Eddie agrees with me. "Christopher is a city kid."
"So was I, St. Paul a city." Bobby looks at chim strangely. "If you say so." You can hear Buck laughing at the two, meanwhile, I was busy grading hen's practice test. "I'm just trying to imagine trying to sell Denny on the idea of two weeks without internet." Hen scoffed at the idea. "It's pretty exciting, they even have this farm-to-fork program where the kids pick veggies and cook'em for dinner."
"That sounds a lot like child labor," Buck says, I finish grading hen's test and she keeps staring at me anxiously waiting for her results. I hand her paper and she sulks. "Damm it! I gotta get above a 511."
"504 is still pretty good." I try to reassure her. "Getting into medical school at this point in my life is hard enough. I can't afford to be an average applicant."
"Hey, there's nothing average about you, you started studying this a week ago, give yourself a break." Bobby tries to give her a boost of confidence. "You are gonna rock the MCATs." We all look at Chimney for inspiring words but he's too busy mixing spices. "Hen you're brilliant, you don't need a test to prove that." The silence breaks when hen's phone chimes. "Bobby, why is your wife asking me if she could hold May's graduation party at my house?" _________________________________
"911 what's your emergency?"
"There's been a train derailment, Pacific West 1135, we were heading from Phoenix into Union Station. We've crashed somewhere close to the LA county line. There are multiple injuries, this is a mass casualty situation. You've gotta send out every available RA unit. We need USAR for search and rescue, LAPD for traffic control, we're gonna need a mobile command center."
