Summary
5 times Robby catches Dennis on his ring camera, and 1 time he finally does something serious about it.
OR
Dennis is house-sitting for Robby while he's on sabbatical, and what follows is several months of increasingly questionable behaviour, long-distance yearning, and the slow realisation that some distances are a lot harder to maintain than others.

Summary
Someone’s screaming, who he has no idea. Only knows that something hurts and his face is hot and the room is spinning. Why is the room spinning? It shouldn’t be spinning. It wasn’t a second ago, and now it is and his head hurts. Why does his head hurt? Takes a step back, stumbles. Feels pain sear up his shoulder. Fell, he fell. Why did he fall? Why is his face so hot? Who is screaming? Blinks up at the ceiling in a daze, tries to make sense of whatever it is that’s happening.

Summary
Garcia and her team leave. They all take a collective breath, let it out slow. Exit single file, pulling off gloves as they do. Dennis brings up the rear, adrenaline seeping out. As it leaves its replaced by something. What he has no idea. It’s not something he’s felt before. Not the usual post case come down he expects. No, this is different. Throat tight, breathing wrong. Difficult, too fast. Head light, dizzy in a way he hasn’t felt before. Tries to clear his throat, thinks that might help. Is shocked by the wheeze that comes out. Something’s wrong, something’s really wrong.

Summary
“Stay down,” the man hisses, right before pain explodes.
Kicked. He kicked him. Right in the ribs. Damn, yeah, that hurt. That really hurt. Gives up on trying to get to his feet. Can’t when all he can do is wheeze, try desperately to get back the air he just lost. Prays to a God who never really cared about him, that the man doesn’t keep going. His vision is swimming now. Bleary from the tears, one eye already swelling shut. Holds his breath, waits for another blow. Doesn’t trust God to answer his prayers now any more than he has in the past. Prays anyway.
