    Summary

    "It's late to start riding," Jack said as Robby straightened, a neutral statement that was a protest nonetheless. They knew how to say things without saying anything, the two of them.

    Maybe that was part of the problem.

    Robby stared down at the still-sleeping baby. "I have a lot of things to see," he said, almost to himself, a double layer to that, one that Jack found oddly heartening.

    "And people to love," he said, taking a flier on it because why the fuck not.

    Summary

    "My mistake, sir. It won't happen again." Without offering anything more, Brad about-faced and walked off, like he couldn't wait to get away, but rushing was beneath his dignity.

    Nate watched him go, bewildered, unable to shake the terrifying, nagging voice that insisted: he would never see Brad Colbert again.

    Summary

    “Say you got married,” Robby found himself asking. “Would you wear your dress blues? Or civilian clothes?”

    It had only been an idle thought, no different than any number of easy, directionless musings of the sort that often came over the two of them on mornings like this one, when no one had a shift to go to for at least thirty-six hours. Robby didn’t mean anything by it. But he regretted the words the instant they left his mouth, even before he saw the incredulous grin slide over Jack’s face.

    Summary

    Jack had just stepped back onto the main floor when he clocked movement at the ambulance entrance, two guys hurrying in, the smaller one helping a guy with a sweatshirt covered in blood. But something was wrong, some unnamable instinct rising within Jack at the way they moved. It was too fluid, too controlled. Jack knew what the walking wounded looked like, had seen it for years, from war zones to bar fights. This wasn't the injured seeking help; this was men hunting.

    Time slowed, Jack's heart rate spiking, the adrenaline dump casting everything in sharp relief—the full ED floor, patients plus shift change meaning twice the usual personnel were here.

    Robby was here.

    That thought got him moving, Jack approaching laterally. He got there right as the guns came out.
