    Summary

    Whitaker has never called out sick for any job he’s had. Not even at six years old with chicken pox, crying as he fed the chickens and Noah folded himself over the fence to tell him that he might as well try the feed too while he was at it since he was turning into a chicken himself. Not even his newspaper route at thirteen when the only things that held the jagged flesh of his thigh together were paper towels and an ace bandage. And none of the days leading into a full moon night where he feels like his skin is stretched too tight over his bones and any wrong move could split him apart at his seams and birth a monster onto the scuffed white floor of the ED.

    Sometimes hearing everything means you hear nothing at all. Between the beeping and whirring and murmuring and shouting and rolling and squeaking and slamming, Whitaker could have thought once an emergency department might be hell on earth. But all that noise around him means he can’t hear any of the noise within him, and that is in itself a blessing.

     

    [Or Whitaker's first full moon at the Pitt.]

    Summary

    Whitaker has continued his flirtation with both Robby and Abbot for the past few weeks. The women of the ER decide that it's time to pick up the pace and enact a plan to get Huckleberry and his old men to spice up their love lives.

    Summary

    Steve McGarrett is taking Danny to LA, for reasons the detective cannot fathom.

    Evan Buckley is wondering why he fought so hard to get back to people who no longer care about him. But he'll be damned if he lets Steve know, because the last thing he needs is for his "big brother" to know something is wrong.

    Too bad Steve can read Buck like a book. And he's in town.

    Summary

    Sometimes, Dennis thinks, life would be easier if he didn't feel guilt so easily.

    Pretending that he doesn't have the flu to cover for everybody else who has the flu isn't one of his brightest moments. But Dr. Robby had looked so openly defeated when he had to send Santos and McKay home early in the shift, and when he jokingly begged for Dennis not to catch the flu...

    Well, the overwhelming guilty feelings came into play at just the right time. Never mind the fact that he's been running a small fever since early that morning from the same flu that is terrorizing the department. Ibuprofen is a godsend, and guilt, Dennis knows, is a powerful thing.

    Summary

    There’s no time to think about trip hazards until way after the patient has been wheeled away.

    The good thing is that nobody saw him take a spectacular swan dive, and they’ll all probably assume that the blood is just from the major trauma.

    He stumbles out of the room, grabbing new scrubs and darting to the men’s bathroom before anyone can ask him a question, or look too closely at his face. The bad thing is that he only just gets the cubicle door locked before the dizziness takes over, and he slides slowly to the floor. Dying on a men’s toilet floor is not the worst thing to happen to him, but it’s pretty low down on the list.
