Summary
Dick stares at the tan, soundproofed wall behind the medical staff rather than directly at them, while doing his best to pay more attention to the sting and the ache in the flesh of his arm, than where, and why, and when, and how he got to be sitting across at the desk.
“Did you find the exercise worth your time, Captain?”
Dick thinks about the fact he’d lived four years in a single shift, and almost laughs out loud – though not happily. “My time? Yes, sir.”

Summary
Part of him knew that it would always be like this with Nix, the constant feeling of being on edge, missing the earth below his feet. Perhaps he’d touch the ground safe and sound this time, both legs intact, but there would be another jump and another and another, and he would never know which jump would be the one to break his neck.
Then again, his mother had seen right through him with the whole paratrooper thing: forget the money, forget the glory, forget being with the best of the best. Deep down, he had a reckless streak.
