Summary
“Ah, John. There you are.”
His mother’s tone is the rubber band snap of a corporate manager closing a deal, and she barely throws him a glance as she adjusts the brooch on her cardigan, eyes glued instead to her own reflection. John half leans against the doorway, so many years of being forbidden from entering his parents’ room keeping him glued to the threshold.
“Are you ready for this evening?”
A gala. A real, extravagant gala with gallons of expensive alcohol that John can't drink with his meds, and hundreds of interrogative faces that scrunch in pity whenever he catches them staring.
OR
A week after John's released from the hospital, his parents throw a ball.

Summary
On the hottest day of the year, a hostage situation breaks out in the ER trauma rooms. John Carter, Peter Benton, and Lucy Knight are at the center of it.
John is hurt, badly. Peter's former student. Lucy's teacher. The two of them must work together, under the worst circumstances imaginable, to save his life.
“Please let me help him,” Peter manages to get out, although it’s almost impossible to hear his own words over the pounding of his heart. His voice cracks. “Please. Please. He’s hurt. He’s my friend. He’s… he’s a good person. His name is John. John Carter. Please, man. I helped your friend. Please let me help mine.”

Summary
"Mister, please open your eyes again, we're gonna die out here if you don't open your eyes." She gently tapped his faced and pried open his left eye. His right eye was swollen shut and blood covered that side of his face in thick patches. He was barely breathing, crushed, and bleeding and they'd been stuck in the rain for what seemed like an eternity.
The rain had finally let up as the young woman tried desperately to wake him again. He'd said his name was Carter. She didn't know if that was his first name or his last name, but she knew he was in serious trouble.

Summary
“Stay back!” Peter points at the man and bellows.
He rushes to Carter’s side, and after haphazardly kicking away some glass shards, kneels down on one knee.
The stench of Scotch assaults his nostrils immediately. The sleeves and shoulders of Carter’s suit jacket are soaked in it.
Peter reaches out to rest a hand on Carter’s shoulder. The man on the floor flinches back so hard that Peter loses his balance and has to catch himself with one hand.

What if Benton makes it to Carter's graduation party and stumbles upon a secret?
