Buck and Eddie wake up with a start to their alarms ringing, both of them shaking, confused, and disoriented.

Eddie quickly grabs his phone to call Buck. And notices what day it is, he frowns, but calls him anyway, he needs to hear his voice.

Buck is about to do the same when he receives the call. "Eddie??? Edds? Omg I had such a horrible dream, we were held hostage and then I-I was shot Edds."

Eddie frowns, they had the same dream? How is that possible? "Buck... buck that's why I called you, because I had the same dream, I needed to know that you were safe, that you were alive, I thought- I thought I'd lost you."

"Meet me at the bank okay? I want to test a theory of sorts." Buck says.

Eddie responds with a questioning tone. "Okay?"

They both get up and ready and head to the bank, once they reach it they find each other and Eddie runs quickly over to buck, needing to check him over, make sure he's not injured.

"I'm okay Edd's it was just a dream, a horrible, awful dream, but a dream nonetheless." Buck says and pulls Eddie into a hug.

Eddie sighs in relief and they make their way into the bank.

Eddie looked around the bank then he looked at buck, his stomach filling with dread. "Buck... these people were all in the dream..."

Buck looks around himself but before he could respond, a shot rang out. Buck and Eddie fell to the floor, once again holding on to each other tightly as the person holding the gun started yelling, telling everyone to get down and forcing the bank teller to give him money, exactly the same as their collective "dream".

Eddie looks at buck, eyes wide and terrified, it's happening, again, it's all the same. He starts to panic and buck grabs his face, looking into his eyes.

"It's okay Eddie, it's okay we-we're going to be okay, I-I promise." Buck says as he wipes a tear from Eddie's face, as Eddie does the same for him.

Eddie goes to respond but just like before the gunman spots them. "Hey! You two! Get over here now!"

They quickly scramble up and over to him still holding hands. And before buck can say anything, Eddie looks at him with wide eyes, pleading with him not to be stupid, not again. Luckily Buck gets the message and remains silent.

The gunman chuckles coldly, as he watches Eddie silence buck with a look. "That's what I thought. Now you and your little boyfriend there are going to help me gather up everyone's belongings and place them into this bag, that includes both of yours." He throws the bag at Eddie who nods, shaken.

They put all of their stuff into the bag just as they'd done previously, before walking around to collect everyone else's belongings, the man following with his eyes trained on buck the entire time.

Once they're finished they walk back over to him, handing him the bag. The man takes it from bucks grasp then suddenly he angrily slaps buck across the face with his gun, for seemingly no reason at all.

"Now go! Sit the fuck back down, and don't move, got it?" He says.

Buck and Eddie quickly get up and go back to their spots. Eddie checking over bucks face, wincing when he sees the blood on his lip, and the bruise that's already forming.

Whilst that's happening someone from across the room gets up and tries to approach the man. "Please sir, I have a daughter at home, please, she's only 3, I'm all she has, please." But the man just looked at him, not an ounce of sympathy on his face, then he turns the gun on him and a shot rings out.
