    Summary

    His house smells like wood polish and sage. The data points she had carefully accrued were now wildly plotted with no common geometry to connect them.

    or

    Summary

    Opening the trunk of her Honda Fit, she rolls her neck, sighing at the way her ligaments pop. It’s the coldest morning on record in the year so far, and she doesn’t look forward to sitting in her car while it takes longer than it should to warm up. I just want to go home, crawl into bed, and sleep until it’s dark again.

    That last thought pops like a bubble—she slips out of consciousness into silence. When she wakes, it’s in a soft bed in a room that isn’t hers.

    Summary

    He’s barely made it home when he gets the call. Just pulled into the driveway that’s more of a glorified parking spot, just turned off the car.

    “Come back,” Dana says, voice clipped. “An ambulance exploded in the bay. I don’t know what’s going on, the fire department just got here. They’re working on Samira now. You gotta come right back.”

    Summary

    When he boards the elevator he’s upset. By the time he leaves the elevator he’s angry, each reverberation of his feet hitting asphalt felt in the remaining bones and surgical grade titanium in his right leg, all the way up to his hip. It takes him less than sixty seconds to walk from the parking deck to the ambulance bay. Ten feet from the entrance, he sees Robby walk through the first set of doors, past Ahmad, and then through the second set of doors. His pulse roars in his ears, his heart pounding in his chest. For the first time in years, Jack Abbot feels something approximating rage, an emotion he has long assumed to be medicated out of him.

    His hands furl into fists.

    ++

    Robby commits the critical error of making Samira cry. Jack reacts.
