    Summary

    “Pathology being a dick?”

    “No, American Airlines.”

    “Huh?”

    “I’m looking at tickets,” Dennis explains. Tries to keep his voice neutral. It seems like he fails, judging by the way Santos twitches and gets up on her elbows to glower at him. “For Christmas.”

    “You going back to Broken Dick Nebraska?”

    “Broken Bow,” Dennis corrects, more to be contrarian than because he actually thinks Santos misspoke. And maybe with some misguided sense of home town pride. “And yeah. I am.”

    OR:
    Things are laid bare. In more ways than one. Also, Christmas.

    Summary

    “Come here, kid.” One of Robby’s hands catches Dennis’s and lands against his sternum, trapping his arm against his chest, while the other stays in his hair, fingers winding into damp curls. Dennis’s attention is everywhere and panicked. He catches a flash of Perlah readying the needle and a desperate sound punches out of him.

    “Nope, don’t look at that,” Robby says, using the hand in his hair to force his head back, angling his vision away from the commotion and up towards him. Dennis’s eyes lock onto his, pupils blown wide. “Look at me. Yep, good. I’m right here. You’re doing so good, honey. Just keep those eyes on me.”

    The IV tourniquet snaps into place and panic flashes anew in Dennis’s face. ”Robby—”

    “I know. It’s just Dana and Perlah. We’re just pushing some fluids, no more drugs. You’re safe.” Out of the corner of his eye, Robby can see Perlah speeding through what has to be the fastest IV placement of her career, Dana keeping her grip on Dennis’s hand to stop him from jerking away. Dana shoots him a glance of warning and Robby tightens his hold. “Okay, quick poke now. Still just us. Deep breath, Dennis. I've got you."

    ***

    Dennis gets drugged by a patient and has a bad trip.
