Summary
Buck hadn’t set foot in Oahu in over 10 years, but as he steps off the charter boat and feels the sun on his skin and smells the salt from the water in the air- he doesn’t know why he even left. Stepping onto the platform, duffel slung low on one shoulder, he takes a moment to just take in his surroundings. The sun was bright and burning, yet too soft. Nothing could ever compare to the burning feeling in his leg as the ladder truck was lifted off of it. Nothing here would ever hit as hard as Los Angeles.
Not after the bombing.
Not after Eddie’s fist connected with his jaw and the silence and emptiness that followed, draping over him like a curtain- or more accurately a tsunami slamming him into the concrete. Fast, unexpected, and oh- so harsh.
And so he left.
Packed everything he needed and sold the rest. Left detailed instructions to Maddie for her to sell the loft and for nostalgia's sake an L.A. postcard telling her he loved her and a number of an old friend in case of emergencies. He knew she would understand- as a Buckley, when things get bad you pack up and start over.
Buck wasn’t running, not really.
He just needed to start over.

Summary
Buck stares at his phone for longer than he wants to admit. Okay so he may need help. He grabs his phone, thumb hovering over his contacts. There is only one person who might know how to fix this.
Steve McGarret.
It rings twice before–
“McGarrett.” A gruff voice answers. He sounds on edge– maybe he’s on a case.
“Hey. Uh – It’s Buck- Uh Rhys.”
“Rhys.” A pause. Then, a smile can be heard in his voice. “Didn’t expect to hear from you. Everything okay?”
“That depends. Does getting reactivated slash activated into the Navy count as, okay?”
