Summary
The first thing Dennis hears every morning is the sound of the grease trap hissing in the shop below, then feels his four-year-old son wriggling deeper into his ribs, like he wants to crawl back into Dennis’ shriveled old sack of a uterus.
He’s not sure which one wakes him first.
(Or, Whitaker is a struggling single dad, an MS4 who is about to graduate and crushing on two old men).

Summary
When his phone rang loud in the stillness, waking Jack from the sleep of the dead he'd perfected in war zones half a world away, he sat straight up in bed and knew: something was wrong.
His phone announced it was Dana—and it was 0721—which shot a little thrum of worry through him as he answered. "What happened?" he asked, no preamble. She wouldn't wake him if shit hadn't gone sideways.
"Robby hasn't come in yet and he's not answering his phone," she said, voice grim. "He's never missed a shift without calling." She spoke quietly, probably standing in the middle of the ED, trying to keep up a brave face for everyone else. As much as she could, anyway. People tended to notice when the fucking chief attending didn't show up to work.
