Read on AO3

Athena is in the middle of lunch when her phone vibrates in her breast pocket. It has been a day and it's only 2 pm. Her morning patrol ended at a residential home for someone’s idiot boyfriend who had left his keys at work and his girlfriend had called the cops thinking someone was trying to break into their house. The guy’s phone had been in his pocket the whole time yet he hadn’t thought to call his girlfriend to let him inside.

For a moment she considers ignoring the call and enjoying her sandwich in peace she knows that Harry has a basketball game today and he was going to call her when the game ended.

Leaving her sandwich on the plate with a sigh she tugs the phone out of her pocket and grins at the caller ID. “Hello, Buckaroo. To what do I owe the pleasure?”

“‘Thena.” A tiny voice whispers down the line. Athena’s hackles are up instantly and the skin on the back of her neck goosebumps immediately.

“Buck? What’s going on? Are you in trouble?” She’s already walking out of the station and crossing the parking lot to her patrol car, her sandwich abandoned. She keeps her phone tucked between her shoulder and her ear as she fishes out her keys and climbs into her car. “Talk to me, Buck. What’s going on?”

“I’m at the grocer's on West Adams Boulevard.” He’s still whispering and between the shaking of his voice and the commotion around him, Athena can barely pick up what he’s saying. “They barred the doors. I think someone has a gun.”

“Okay. Okay, Baby. I’m on my way.” She throws the patrol car into reverse and rips out of the parking lot. “Are you somewhere safe? Buck?”

“Athena, I don’t think–.” There is shouting on Buck’s end of the line followed by a grunt and a lot of rustling.

“Buck!”

“This one had a phone!” A voice that isn’t Buck’s carries down the line and Athena’s heart feels like a lump in her throat as she switches lanes and turns onto the next block.

“Buck?” There’s more yelling and then the call ends with a resounding beep.

It takes twenty minutes to get to the grocer Buck mentioned and when Athena pulls up there are already two other cruisers and the ambulance from Station 26 parked outside. Athena swings open her door and charges across the parking lot with her phone still gripped in an iron fist.

Glancing at the building, she can see very little movement inside though most of the windows are blocked by display cases and overstocked food aisles. “Sergeant Cammeray? What's the situation?”

The older sergeant looks at her and calls out, “Sergeant Grant. Were you called to this too?”

“No, but one of my boys is inside? Can you tell me what’s going on?”

He nods and walks over to meet her pointing towards the front door as he walks. “I’m told it’s a hostage situation. We’ve got about ten civilians inside, two men went in just before 2 o’clock and barred the doors behind them. Someone walking down the street called 9-1-1 after they heard gunshots from inside. We’ve had one girl who snuck out through a back door in the loading bay,” He points to a young woman sitting in the back of The 26’s ambulance with a shock blanket wrapped around her shoulders.

“She able to tell you anything?” Athena asks.

“Not really. She works there and was in the back when they came in. They must have seen her leaving though because they barred that back door behind her.”

“So they let one escape but haven’t started making any demands?”

Cammeray shakes his head. “We’ve got a hostage negotiator on their way. There haven’t been any more shots fired, for all we know it was a warning shot, to scare them.”

Athena turns up her nose. “For all you know someone could be bleeding out in there while you’re all standing around twiddling your thumbs!”

An hour passes since Buck first called and the negotiator arrives, a stout man with a terrible mustache but who seems to be very good at his job. Or at least, he thinks he is, Athena starts to doubt that at the two-hour mark. There has still been little movement from what she can see through the windows.

Special Agent Sully reports that the men inside are starting to make demands, willing to negotiate. Then more vehicles pull up unannounced as simultaneously all chaos breaks out inside. There’s crashing, sounds of shelves toppling, glass breaking, and gunshots. Three consecutive shots are fired and Athena decides that enough is enough and marches towards the front door, plotting vengeance with every step if they have harmed even a single hair on Evan Buckley’s head.

She is brought to an abrupt halt by Cammeray blocking her way. “Sergeant Grant.”

“You better move out of my way Gordan or you’re gonna have another thing coming.”

“Sergeant Grant, one of them is an ex-marine. This is out of our jurisdiction now.”

“Jurisdiction my ass. Move!”

“You will be the first one in behind them.” Cammeray indicates to the NCIS unit and SWAT teams both gearing up across the parking lot. “But not a moment sooner.”

This seems like overkill for a grocery store and patience is not Athena’s strong suit—she is well aware—but the wait becomes torturous as a fourth and final shot echoes from the building right as SWAT breaches the doors, front and back.

True to his word, Cammeray lets Athena through as soon as the two men are led out in handcuffs by two NCIS special agents. Inside the store is a mess. The shelves have been ransacked and the till is hanging from the bench by its wires. Athena however is more focused on scanning the array of people who were previously being held hostage but are now being checked over by the paramedics from Station 26.

Finally, she spots Buck and some of the pressure in her chest eases when she sees him shuffling to his knees as the paramedic who was checking him over moves on to another patient.

It only takes her a moment to cross the store and crouch in front of him, her hands instantly coming up to cup his cheeks. “Athena?”

“Hey, Baby. Yeah, I’m here.” Buck sighs and falls into Athena’s side. She wraps her arm around his shoulders and runs the fingers of her free hand over his hair. “How come any time there’s trouble, you always find yourself in the middle of it?”

“Special talent?” Buck mumbles and she chuckles as she rubs her hand up and down his arm.

“Okay, let me look at you.” She holds him away from her and brings her fingers to his face.

“The paramedic already cleared me, ‘Thena.”

She tuts at him and turns his face from side to side. There’s a scrape up one side of his face and a nasty welt around his right eye. “Let me fuss for a moment, please. I was worried about you, and for good reason, it seems. Did one of them punch you?”

“Yeah.”

Athena levels him with a flat look and Buck sighs dramatically. “He had a gun, Athena. And he kept waving it at this lady and her baby, and I just–.” Buck motions with his arm and Athena resists the urge to cuff him around the head.

“Just what? Tackled him?”

Buck glances away and won't meet her eyes.

“Oh, you are so glad your boyfriend isn’t here right now.”

“Please don’t tell Eddie,” Buck begs, spinning back to turn wide pleading eyes on her.

Eddie is out of town visiting his parents in El Paso for the weekend, Buck was supposed to be there with him but following one of that other A shift crew breaking their collar bone on a golf trip, Bobby had to regretfully ask Buck to stay behind. Athena knows full well that Eddie would have Buck’s head on a pike for putting himself in danger again, especially while Eddie wasn’t there to protect him.

“You know your boy will find out one way or another.”

Buck sighs and leans heavily into the side of the ambulance door. “I know, just, not tonight. Please?”

“Okay,” Athena relents and reaches out to squeeze his shoulder. “But you are coming home with me tonight.”

“Athena–!”

“Nope, no excuses. The guest room is yours and I’m not letting you out of my sight until the sun comes up again.”

Bobby is waiting at the front door when they arrive at the Nash-Grant house and as soon as Buck is within three feet of him Bobby grabs the boy by his shoulders and holds him firmly in place as he looks him over much the same way Athena did.

After dinner, Buck finds Athena on her favorite lounge chair in the back yard and he perches on the edge of the one next to her.

“Hey, Athena.” He starts quietly, looking down at his hands. “Thank you, for coming today, I mean.”

Athena sits up smoothly and reaches out to cup Buck’s cheek, forcing him to look up at him as she smooths her thumb back and forth against the apple of his cheek. “Buckaroo, you are my boy. I will always come when you call me. Always.”

Buck's eyes instantly turn glassy and Athena rises from her seat to kiss his forehead before departing for the night. “Get some sleep, Baby. There’s a toothbrush for you in the bathroom drawer.”

Buck gets a third round of being fussed over when Eddie flies back into Los Angeles the next afternoon—a day earlier than he was meant to be back—but word travels fast and Eddie changed his flights as soon as he heard what had happened. Athena watches from the kitchen table as Eddie winds his arms tightly around Buck and pulls him close to his chest, dropping a kiss on his forehead and to the bruise forming over his right eye.

“I am never leaving you unsupervised ever again.” Eddie says firmly and Buck rolls his eyes but lets Eddie continue to fret over him and Athena can see the pleasing blush that creeps up his neck at the attention.

"THE BRIDE" DOLL TABLEAU

Powerhouse Collection

"The Bride" tableau was made in 1958 by Euronwy (Rene) Wilson (1898-1978).

This doll tableau called "The Bride" represents a bride getting dressed before her wedding helped by her mother, two bridesmaids and a flower girl. It was made as a craft hobby in 1958 and is one of ten tableaux in the Museum's collection prepared by Euronwy (Rene) Wilson (1898-1978), from the Sydney suburb of Cammeray, between 1956 to 1976.

Born in Wales, Rene moved to Australia when she was 16 and had a background in antique dealing. After her children grew up she began to create these tableaux. She modelled many of the props for the settings in potter's clay, which were baked in her oven at home then painted. Other props were gathered from Sydney antique shops and auctions or modified from household items. Between 1960 and her death in 1978 she won 18 first prizes in the arts and crafts section of Sydney's Royal Easter Show, and five at the Sydney Doll Show.

Rene exhibited and sold her work around Sydney, the proceeds being donated to local charities and organisations. This tableau is significant as it represents a unique combination of crafts and toy making. The setting features an interesting combination of character and period doll dressing, doll's house interior design, needlework and craft. It is well provenanced and indicative of the popular craft practices of the time. In addition, it relates to Sydney's Royal Easter Show, a significant event within the social history of New South Wales.

When you hire professional paving contractors in Cammeray, you will find that they are committed to doing work of the highest calibre. They adhere to a thorough approach and incorporate a number of crucial components to guarantee the success of your paving project.

Here are things that are present in the work of professional paving contractors, that set them apart from the rest. Use this list as a guide to hire only the best pavers Australia has to offer.

Site Assessment and Preparation:

Experienced Paving Contractors Cammeray start by assessing the site. Assessing the state of the current surface, the makeup of the soil, drainage problems and any potential obstructions are all included in this. A sturdy and long lasting pavement depends on proper site preparation.

Design Consultation:

Before beginning the project, contractors frequently speak with clients to go over their preferences and goals for the design. They offer knowledgeable guidance on the best types of materials, patterns and design possibilities to use in order to achieve the intended aesthetic and functionality.

Material Selection:

Depending on the needs, constraints and design objectives of the project, qualified contractors assist clients in selecting the best paving materials. Concrete, asphalt, pavers or natural stones are some possibilities that might be used for this. Each of them has unique qualities and advantages.

Excavation and Grading:

After deciding on a design and material options, Paving Contractors Cammeray move forward with these tasks. A flat and solid foundation for the pavement is ensured by this stage. Having proper grading also takes care of drainage difficulties, avoiding water buildup and potential damage.

Preparing the Foundation:

For a pavement to last, the foundation must be well prepared. The dirt is compact by contractors, who may also add a layer of aggregate material, if necessary, to build a firm foundation that reduces settling and cracking.

Installation of Edge Restrains:

Edge restraints, such as concrete curbing or paver edging, are put in place to contain the pavement and stop it from shifting and spreading. This process improves structural stability and establishes the paved area’s boundaries.

Proper Drainage Solutions:

Drainage considerations are essential to prevent water related damage. So choose your drainage solutions wisely. In order to divert water away from pavement, professional Paving Contractors Cammeray use drainage techniques like grading, slope changes or constructing French drains.

Accurate Installation:

The installation of the chosen paving materials is a precise and expert process. Contractors adhere to industry standards, making sure that every piece or portion is placed up uniformly and firmly to avoid future settling or surface imperfections.

Compaction and Finishing:

Following the installation of the paving materials, contractors utilize powerful machinery to properly compact the surface. This procedure minimizes air gaps and improves the stability of the pavement. To complete the process, finishing touches like joint sand or sealer are used.

Inspection and Quality Controls:

Skilled paving contractors do in-depth quality control checks at every stage of the process. To uphold high standards of craftsmanship, a professional Paving Contactor Cammeray checks for any flaws, abnormalities or blemishes and take immediate action to correct them.

Clean up and Site Restoration:

After the paving is finished, the professionals clean up the work area by clearing away any leftover materials or trash. In order to keep your house looking tidy and well kept, they could rehabilitate the surrounding landscape.

Guidelines for Maintenance:

Experienced contractors give their clients advice on maintaining their properties. They offer advice on how to look after the freshly paved surface, including suggested cleaning routines, recurring inspections and any required resealing or repairs.

Quality Assurance:

Assurance of high quality from reputable pavers stands behind their work. In order to assure client satisfaction and peace of mind, the Paving Contractors Cammeray could give warranties or guarantees.

Acquisition of Permits:

To save your time and worry, have the permitting process handled by qualified contractors. They will make sure that all required approvals are secured for your project.

Transparent Communication:

Throughout the project, seasoned contractors keep lines of communication open and transparent with you, keeping you updated on the status of the project, any unforeseen difficulties and any necessary revisions.
