    Summary

    A gunmetal grey Jeep sits in the middle of the intersection surrounded by skid marks. The back is smashed in from a pick-up truck rear ending it, but the worst of the damage is on the driver’s side. It’s crumbled in from a second impact, frame of the Jeep bowing inward, part of the roof and door cutaway. Just seeing the damage makes Eddie’s stomach twist into knots. Officer Williams’s eyes go wide in understanding, fingers releasing their grip. Eddie only spares a moment to nod a thanks in his direction before he’s sprinting away.

    Summary

    “So are we just not going to talk about it?”

    Eddie turns the best he can in his seat to glance at Hen and Chim in the front of the ambulance. He doesn’t like the smirk Chim has on his face or the curious one Hen is wearing. He probably shouldn’t ask, but …

    “Talk about what?”

    “How your new girlfriend tried to kill your best friend.”

    Summary

    Nile glances at Nicky standing behind Joe, silent and still like he’s there but not there. She frowns. “Is he okay?”

    “No,” Andy answers. “He’s seizing.”

    Summary

    "Nicky is making himself a coffee, bleary-eyed from a fitful sleep, and trying to recall if Joe is drinking it this decade, and if he is then does he take it with sugar?, and he’s also thinking about The Odyssey, which is sitting in amongst a pile of books in the next room.

    He’s thinking about a question written in the margins, scrawled in Booker’s handwriting: how long does it take for a man to return from war? Does he ever return, can he ever return, what does it mean to return home, when home is not home and he is no longer the same man?"

     

    After Merrick, Nicky's right shoulder starts hurting, and it doesn't stop.

    Summary

    “Nicky.”

    Booker says Nicky’s name quietly, likely hoping that Joe won’t hear.

    Joe snarls and looks to the backseat of the car where Nicky isn't moving, which means he can't walk.

    __

    Or, big wounds do take longer, and brain injuries heal strangest of all. Joe tries to take care of Nicky while he recovers. His own broken heart may take forever to heal.
