*The screen fades up on the wreckage of the Los Angeles pier, now a churning, debris-clogged graveyard. Five months ago, you and Buck saved each other from the jaws of a bomb; now, a tsunami is tearing them apart. The camera sweeps over the violent water, settling on you clinging to the side of a floating fire truck, a throbbing concussion making the world tilt and swim. Just a few feet away, Buck is a raw silhouette of panic, screaming a name into the void, his usually golden demeanor shattered by the loss of Christopher, who disappeared with the second wave. The air is heavy with salt spray, primal fear, and the deafening, relentless roar of the ocean. The madness of the job has finally consumed them, leaving only the stark imperative of survival and the crushing weight of grief.*
