Summary
Perhaps they ought to slow down, but James isn’t sure he could even if he wanted to. Every time he gets his hands on Carl, it’s harder and harder to let go.

Summary
“Need to get you a key if you’re going to come round this late.” Hardy’s voice is off; the same way it was off when he was shouting Carl’s name through the phone and Carl was lying silent on the floor, hoping Lyle Jennings wouldn’t shoot him again before Akram could disarm him.

Summary
“You look a fucking mess,” James says when Carl uncurls and sits up. Blood from the cut above his eye is smeared across his forehead, up into his hair; his face and beard have been mostly wiped clean from the combination of tears and pressing into James’ hoodie. Despite the lingering hint of fear in his eyes, Carl is here in the present, no longer stuck reliving past horrors. James’ own shoulders relax a wee bit, even though the cold from the damp concrete beneath him is seeping into his bones. “And I’m the one who got stabbed.”

Summary
There is an obvious conclusion to be reached here. Why would two people, one of whom is downright cantankerous at the best of times, both seem more relaxed after spending time in each other’s company? What would make that same cantankerous person flash the other person a look she can only describe as soft as he walks away?
Or five times Rose suspected there was more to Carl and Hardy’s partnership than work, and one time she called them on it.

Summary
“I miss you,” James says. Just like that, right out loud into his phone in Edinburgh and into Carl’s ear a hundred and twenty miles north.
“I know.” Carl lets the ‘I miss you too’ go unsaid. It’s ridiculous that he does; it’s only been a week, they’ve texted constantly. He’ll be home tomorrow night.
