Summary
“Hey, Cassie. It’s Frank,”
Cassie scrambled to pause it. Her mobile felt like a megaphone and the crackly speaker sounded like it was shouting a secret. She glanced around, wondering if the entire ER had heard the worry broadcasting through her phone, and noted that the only one alarmed by this development was her.
She toggled off the speaker, restarted the message, and raised the phone to her ear.
Or when McKay says “Call me if you need anything”, he does.

Summary
Things weren't supposed to go this badly.
When Maverick is shot down protecting Rooster, Phoenix tries in vain to stop Bradshaw from going after him. Rooster disobeys orders and goes off on his own to save Maverick, pushing Phoenix to lead the team home by herself.
That is easier said than done with two Bandits on their tail. While trying to give the team a chance to get away Dagger Three suffers a fatal blow, forcing Phoenix and Bob to eject and abandon the aircraft.
Battered, bruised, and stuck in enemy territory, Phoenix must keep herself and an injured Bob safe until they can be rescued. But again, that is easier said than done. Surviving a violent ejection itself was no small miracle, but the two aren't out of the woods yet.
Before the night is over, they'll have to deal with a number of challenges - from the dangers of a hostile environment to the far more terrifying concept of emotional vulnerability.

Summary
“Are you happy with yourself?” Nat asked. “You’ve made him into a circus attraction.”
“Kinda,” Rooster laughed, crossing his arms. “It's his fault for falling asleep out here. Hey, who's got a sharpie?”
“Okay–” Nat huffed, setting her hands on her hips.
“I'm kidding, I'm kidding!”
“Floyd!” she said, her voice loud and assertive, and Bob jerked awake immediately, knocking his book off of his lap.
“Huh?” he breathed, lifting his head off of the back of the armchair. Fanboy snatched Bob's wallet back from Harvard, tucking it under his leg hastily. Halo took a step back from where she was leaned over peering at his book, but she knocked her shin into the coffee table and swore. Rooster clasped his hands behind his back and tucked the twenties into his pocket, making his best attempt at a poker face, but he knew he was failing miserably. And Hangman, thank fuck, finally muted his stupid phone and looked up in earnest.
“That woke him up,” Payback said under his breath
“That'd wake any of us up,” Fanboy replied, nervously glancing at Nat. “Was she a drill sergeant in a past life?”
***
Or, five times the daggers wake Bob up, and one time they can't get him to sleep.

He was trying. Jamie had fucking meant it. He wasn’t trying to waste Roy’s time, but the nasty little voice at the back of his skull wondered whether he was wasting it anyway. It was a habit of Jamie’s, wasting his chances.

Jamie has this dream, sometimes. It starts, and he can’t breathe, and he can’t wake up.
It’s like: He’s in a car, and he’s driving real fucking fast, and for some reason it’s dark out and he can’t see for shit but he’s still not slowing down.
It’s like: He doesn’t want to slow down.
It’s like: He’s in a car, and he’s driving real fucking fast, and for some reason it’s dark out and he can’t see for shit but he’s still not slowing down and there’s a cliff rising in front of him, closer and closer and closer, and he might not be able to see for shit but for some reason he can see that cliff and the empty abyss beyond it.
It’s like: He knows the cliff is coming and he doesn’t want to slow down.
Jamie has this dream, sometimes. It ends, and he wakes up, and he still can’t breathe.

Summary
“So,” Trent starts, keeping his voice mild and professional. “We have all, by now, seen the footage from the unfortunate run-in you had with your father, the night of the twenty-fifth of April in the car park at Coventry City FC’s pitch.”
It would've been traumatic enough for Jamie's father to ruin Richmond's most recent victory in front of the whole team, but when the confrontation turns violent in front of a gaggle of reporters, the ensuing social media firestorm is even worse. Over the next two and a half weeks, Jamie will have to navigate the charges against his father, walk a gauntlet of publicity that he never asked for, and prepare to give the interview of a lifetime.
Luckily, Richmond has always been there to catch him on the other side.

Summary
“It’ll take two seconds,” Higgins says. “I like to keep up to date with all the players, you know. I just thought, well, you moved recently. And your emergency contact.”
He pauses here, and Jamie raises an eyebrow. His emergency contact? He’d probably filled out some joke response last time, hadn’t he. Fucking Queen of England, Boris Johnson’s wife, something good.
“Oi, let’s see it then,” and Higgins passes over the paper like it’s a live bomb, and Jamie scans down to where he sees his own handwriting sitting over a few dotted lines, and, well. It sure ain’t the Queen.
or: Jamie goes through a series of unfortunate events, changes his emergency contact a few times, and considers the possibility that maybe, actually, letting other people help isn’t all bad after all.

“Yeah,” Jamie drawls in that soft voice, and if Coach Ted’s voice is peanut butter, she thinks Jamie’s must be honey. “It ain’t your fault, Phoebe. And I don’t think your Uncle Roy meant for you to hear what he said ‘bout your dad. But it’s kinda like that, see. No one wants me dad to come to our matches either.”
“But you want him to show up sometimes too?”
Jamie looks down at their clasped hands. “Sometimes. It’s complicated.”

Summary
“Your heart’s racing,” Steve noted, quietly.
Eddie laughed. It was more of a shaky exhale, lashes fluttering as he struggled to keep his composure. “Stevie,” he whispered, fingers cradling Steve’s side like he was precious. “Yeah, no fucking shit.”
OR: Ma Henderson & Wayne Munson get cosy, Dustin makes an off-hand remark, and Steve spirals. It works out in the end.
