Summary
Eddie Diaz is many things, but he would never have called himself a victim. The closest he’d ever gotten was being shot in the middle of the street in Los Angeles, but even that had felt cold and indifferent. It didn’t feel like he qualified – victimhood feels personal, impactful, intimate. ‘Patient’ always felt more accurate, and even then he never really referred to himself as one; he merely allowed others to name him as such.
He realizes he is a victim on a Tuesday.

Summary
The guards left, slamming the door shut behind them, and Pearl felt her hair stand on end as the wards reactivated, a staticky zing traveling through her shackles and grounding in her skin.
The prisoner startled, levered himself up and hissed through his teeth. “Right, that wasn’t the smartest decision I’ve made this week,” he remarked quietly. “Scar? Are you across from me?”
Shuffling in the opposite cell. “Can you do me a favor?” a second voice asked. “The next time you threaten guards, can you try to have a weapon first to strike fear into their hearts? I think you broke our hand.”
“We have another,” the man said defensively, and Scar huffed a laugh. “And anyway– oh. There’s someone else in here with me.”

Summary
It was fall at the 118. That was supposed to mean pumpkin spice lattes, Athena’s world-famous pumpkin pie, and the yearly tradition of getting bullied by children at the annual firehouse trick-or-treating.
Instead, it was a disastrous cornucopia of Maddie’s pregnancy, the Buckley parents visiting, and a sexuality crisis for good measure.
Oh, and?
It was wildfire season.Series
