    Summary

    In his peripheral vision, Benton reaches out a hand to Carter. “You okay?”

    Carter’s handle on his own zen washes away in a flood of heat. He has no control over his body—rage stabs him like an epidural, and he slaps Benton’s hand away.

    Suddenly, Carter is sweating. It’s forty and windy, and Carter is out on his ass on the sidewalk, and his tongue is dry, and his palms are weak, and his sinuses are stinging with the effort to hold himself together, and he’s sweating, beads of it fresh on his forehead, and he’s gulping down breaths to stay steady.

    “What,” spits Carter, “like you care?”

    Summary

    PLEASE READ THE TAGS.

    Peter gets the call on a Thursday in late July, mid-shift. He’s on the next flight out of Chicago.

    “Is this Doctor Peter Benton?”

    “Speaking.”

    “Hello, Doctor Benton. I’m calling from the Frederickson Rehabilitation Center in Atlanta. I have you listed as the emergency contact for John Carter?”

    “What’s happened.”

    “I’m afraid that a few hours ago, Doctor Carter was admitted to the hospital with some very serious injuries.”

    “What kind of injuries, exactly?”

    “Doctor Benton, he was bleeding significantly from his left arm and wrist. It appears… Well, it appears he made an attempt on his own life.”

    Everything after that is a blur.

    Summary

    Robby frowned and looked at Jack. "Is it me or are you now off Monday through Thursday?"

    "Yeah, I figure we can drive out Tuesday morning and come back in time for my shift Friday night."

    Robby's eyebrows rose in surprise. "Did someone invite you to the cabin I rented?" Jack tilted his head and just looked at Robby, silent and expectant. After a long moment, Robby huffed a resigned laugh, like he wondered why he even bothered protesting. "Jack, would you like to come hiking with me?"
