    Summary

    The idea of bossing you around is almost tempting enough to lure me from the beach.

    The email was from Brian Price, who'd done his residency at PTMC before covid, then sailed straight into a cushy gig at Cedars thanks to family connections and Adamson's recommendation. Robby had quietly hated him, happy to see him go.

    Brian's email included a forwarded job listing, seeking a temporary Chief of Emergency Medicine for PTMC, to start July 4th, Robby's last day before his sabbatical. Jack had been expecting Gloria to ask him to step up.

    He'd heard nothing from her. And now this, as good as announcing the news: they were bringing in an external hire.

    Summary

    When his phone rang loud in the stillness, waking Jack from the sleep of the dead he'd perfected in war zones half a world away, he sat straight up in bed and knew: something was wrong.

    His phone announced it was Dana—and it was 0721—which shot a little thrum of worry through him as he answered. "What happened?" he asked, no preamble. She wouldn't wake him if shit hadn't gone sideways.

    "Robby hasn't come in yet and he's not answering his phone," she said, voice grim. "He's never missed a shift without calling." She spoke quietly, probably standing in the middle of the ED, trying to keep up a brave face for everyone else. As much as she could, anyway. People tended to notice when the fucking chief attending didn't show up to work.

    Summary

    Even in this rain, Robby recognized the footsteps behind him, so he didn't turn, just listened to that familiar half swaggering gait approaching him.

    He'd never been able to decide if the swagger was more from the prosthetic or from the attitude. Probably a combination. Either way, the effect was the same, and Robby turned after all, to watch as Jack came closer.

    Leaning casually against the railing and looking out over the skyline, his breath making plumes in the air that rose up into the curves of Robby's umbrella, Jack said, "So, should I be concerned that everyone is suddenly singing 'Toxic' down there? Did somebody poison the water supply while I wasn't looking?"

    Summary

    “And what about you? Are you in safe hands?”

    Robby runs a hand through his beard. He thinks about Whitaker clinging on behind him on the bike. He’d hold on so tight that it was like he was trying to pull Robby into his chest rather than himself into Robby’s back.

    “I don’t know about that either.”

    -

    Sick with their own separate miseries, Robby and Whitaker take a trip out to Nebraska together on Robby's motorcycle. They don't expect to find what they need in each other. And yet...
