  Summary

  Neal doesn’t feel it until he stops moving. It’s a blister that only smarts once the shoe’s pulled off. 

  ---

  Wherein, after the very fake events of In the Red, for Neal, things get a bit too real.

  Summary

  The street was empty. Parked cars and the blur of rain catching in the orange glow of the street lamps. An illuminated window in an opposing townhome—cold white. A swirl of water flowing through fallen leaves, down the slick pavement towards the storm drain.

  Peter dropped the curtain. He decided he would check the attic.

  Summary

  There’s Freckles who followed Peter in. There’s another guy too, standing off to the side—sleeves rolled up and a tattoo of a cougar curling around his bicep. And there’s who’s undeniably Walsh, sitting on the edge of a bunk, looking Peter over with disinterest, his hand resting casually—as if sitting on an armrest—on the bent head of a fourth man, who’s, quite literally, kneeling at Walsh’s feet.

  Summary

  It is always Frank: cleaning up the vomit, wrestling Gerard into the shower, keeping him from looking like an ass with the press, shoving water, coffee, crap microwave food down his throat. Peeling Gerard off of him because Gerard is always near or squarely at the point of not remembering his own name when he comes onto Frank like that.
