Summary
*New Christian Horner allegations raise questions at Red Bull*
The article title still doesn’t mean anything to him, so he keeps reading
"Christian Horner’s sudden exit from Red Bull has drawn much speculation. . . A reliable source has come forward with new accusations. . . Even more disturbing is the alleged past sexual relationship with an underage team member at Red Bull."
George feels the color drain from his face. He snatches the phone, scrolling through the rest of the article. The name of the supposed underage team member is never stated, but as far he’s aware Max is the only one in the team's history.
---Secrets brought to light make life miserable for Max. George helps him cope the best way he knows how.

Summary
Lew can’t die because the person next to him is the most important to him in the whole entire world. If Dick Winters went down today then Lewis Nixon wouldn’t be too far behind. He didn’t have anyone back home to think on. Not really. He didn’t need to look back across the ocean to have someone to fight for, he just had to look forward at the man who was leading him. He has no reason to go back and every reason to stay.
---Bastogne is cold, Dick is sick and filled with guilt, Lew stays.

“It does not matter. It was a long time ago.”
George wishes he had denied it. Told him he had it all wrong. But his words are confirmation enough. A shaking hand comes up to cover his mouth, he thinks he may be sick.
“You never- why didn’t you ever say anything?”
“There was nothing to say."

Summary
“Is something wrong with the car?”
“No- uh- no-” He clears his throat, trying to catch his breath. “I think- mmm- I think I am going to pass out.” He knows those are not words he should be saying on the radio. It’s dangerous. Anyone could hear it. But-
“Max, pull off to the side. Now.”
Max would shake his head but he knows it’s a bad idea. “No, No,” but he’s having trouble getting the words out. They're slurring together and the pulse behind his eyes is unrelenting. The world’s nothing more than a black and white blur, GP’s voice struggling to be heard over the intensifying ringing. “I-I can make it to pit I just-”
“Now Max.”

Summary
Daniel releases a breath before turning back to Max. The kid is pale, shaking like a leaf and staring past Daniel towards where his father just exited. “Max,” he goes to put a hand on his shoulder but decides against, letting the hand awkwardly fall back to his side. “Are you alright?”
“Why - why would you do that?” There's a heat behind the words Daniel hadn't been expecting.
“A thank you would suffice.” He can’t help but throw back. He’s not sure exactly what he had been expecting. Certainly not the kid to bow down and start praising his name. But he hadn’t been expecting hostility.
“Why would I- what did you do?” Panic is creeping in, and while Daniel would have expected it around the time that bright red handprint appeared on his face, now, when his father is actually gone?
---Daniel stands up for Max when Jos takes things too far. The result is... unexpected.

Summary
Stepping into Max’s hotel room feels wrong somehow. But it's not like he didn't know this was a real possibility when he showed up. What did he want if not to be let in? He'd been in Max's hotel room before. This was nothing new. Not really. But… It had been awhile. Max closes and locks the door behind him.
Daniel waits for about two seconds before deciding to treat this like back in the golden days where they practically lived with each other. Red Bull could have saved money and booked them rooms together for all the time they spent in each other's rooms. Might as well pretend nothing had changed.
Waltzing in, he collapses onto the couch. “Nice room Maxie, I think-” he turns his head just in time to see Max stumble, reaching for the wall and bringing a hand up to his bowed head. “Hey,” he's back on his feet and moving towards him, “Max? What's wrong?”

Summary
Maybe if he hadn’t been slated to go home, maybe if he had known that he was coming right to him… maybe then something could have happened. But it didn't. Nothing happened and nothing would. And there was no reason to even think about what might have been, what could have been. Because Eugene Sledge is never coming home. He’s going to die in the Pacific just like so many others. He might as well get used to the idea now.

Summary
The most stupid thing is it makes sense. Of course Sid would want to be with a girl. He could have any girl he wanted. Mary? Yeah he deserved someone like her. But seeing him there, seeing him dance with her, it was worse than anything he ever saw over there. It tore him up inside in a way the bullets never did.
