    Summary

    Samira Mohan was very good at compartmentalizing. She was also very good at not being chosen. Always second place, always close, but not quite. Salutatorian in high school, second chair in violin, below Langdon to Robby, and always an afterthought to her mother after her fathers death. Not being chosen by Abbot was just another thing to add to the list.

    Summary

    Jack closes his eyes, tries to remember what happened. His shift ending. Snow falling heavily. The sidewalk to the parking garage slick. Samira moving towards the bus stop, slipping but catching herself. Him offering to drive her home, the desire to be in her presence just a little longer. The warmth of his car's heater. The skid of a delivery truck on the black ice coming at them head on. The crash of metal and glass. Fighting with the medics when the ambulance arrived. Fighting to get to her. 

    "Samira." He sits up on the cot, looking around him wildly. She'd been put into an ambulance before him. Flashes of her being pulled from his arms by EMTs while he fought to keep her. "Where is she?" 

    "Just got in before you." Langdon assures him. "Robby's got her. She's safe." 

    "I need to see her." he tries to get out of the bed, but Jesse and Donnie are on his other side pulling him back while Langdon pushes against him. Jack's hand flies out, grips the younger doctor's wrist tightly. "I swear to whatever god you believe in, Langdon, I will knock you out if I don't lay eyes on her in the next minute."

    Summary

    On any normal day, Robby would be looking forward to handoff, to zipping up and walking home and turning off his brain for the evening.

    But handoff, in this case, was the reason Robby was absolutely dreading the end of this shift. Handoff meant bringing the night shift attending up to speed on anything that had transpired over the course of his shift that would carry over into the next one. And this evening, just an hour and a half before he was due to get out of there, an intoxicated patient had assaulted a member of his staff.

    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.
