Summary
“When is the last time you bought new clothes?” Jack asked.
He was standing in front of Robby’s closet with a suspicious look on his face, holding a threadbare gray hoodie between two fingers like it had committed a felony and was awaiting sentencing.
Robby looked up from where he was pulling socks out of the drawer. “Don’t start. I just bought new scrubs.”

Summary
It had taken six minutes for Jack to locate the GPS tracker on Robby’s bike, another two to find the number for the motel and call them, and another two for him to get his work mobile and call for an ambulance. Robby had already been unconscious by the time the kid on the other end of the line had found the right key and opened the door. The ambulance had gotten there when Jack was at Pittsburgh International, his worry almost a physical force, holding him down in the uncomfortable waiting room seats. There was no way to know how much of that time Robby had spent hypoxic.
__
An overdose on a lonely stretch of the I-94 leaves Robby intubated in a tiny four-bed ICU, hundreds of miles from home. Jack manages to get there in time to watch him wake up, but the true aftermath begins when their flight lands back in Pittsburgh.
