  1. Summary

    “A sucker bet is a gambling wager in which the expected return does not reflect the odds of winning, and is significantly lower… The complexity of the game can disguise the nature of the odds, so that the player does not realize that they are taking a sucker bet. The name originates in that sucker bets are often created to lure inexperienced players into betting against large odds, blinded by the offer of ‘fast money.’”— Wikipedia

    Summary

    “Dr. Chilton, could you put your hand on Mr. Graham’s thigh?” Freddie Lounds shouts from 300 yards away.

    Or: Dr. Frederick Chilton and Will Graham agree to be cannibal bait.

    Summary

    “Those cats made Vegas swing," Benny tells House, the day he signs over his tribe's future with a name ripped from history books. “I’m following their footsteps.”

    He doesn’t give a fuck about Vegas, and the Old World slang makes him want to crawl out of his skin, but it’s what House wants to hear. He’d say anything to keep his tribe here, with food and medicine and soft mattresses under a solid roof. A chance like this won’t come again.

    (Or: Benny and House, over the years.)

    Summary

    A Khan’s death shroud. But rather than the white linen of the Followers, the Khans laid him to rest with his weapons. Shrouding the dead was something Luke had done many times at the Fort. It was a four-man job. To clean and dress the body. Luke imagined Jessup and McMurphy tucking a bottlecap into his cold palm, wrapping dead fingers around a knife that wasn't theirs. Kneeling to button his coat, like one might with a child on a cold night. He should have found it morbid. The thought of accomplices to his murder playing with his corpse like a doll after his death should have been grotesque. But he couldn’t help but feel cared for. Just the same for all the patients he had wrapped in white linen.

    The courier gig was supposed to be a break from the stress of emergency medicine. Luke Thorn is a man of science and healing, a man who knows the cold grip of death.
