    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.

    Summary

    After more than a year working together in the ER, Mel decides it’s finally time to get over her crush on Dr. Frank Langdon. Admiring him as a doctor is easy; working beside him, surviving chaotic shifts, and pretending his smile doesn’t affect her is something else entirely.

    In the middle of a shift in Halloween filled with emergencies and difficult patients, Mel tries to convince herself that what she feels doesn’t mean anything.
