    Summary

    And something about it felt like shuffling around in front of the confession booth in his childhood church, shiny shoes on stone floors, hands all sweaty with nervous anticipation for his first reconciliation. Or maybe the dim lighting of the restaurant just brought out the fair-weather catholic in him, the one that couldn’t shake the pressing need to confess. To remove the sin before it ate him up from the inside out. It just came spilling out of him like oil into the Atlantic, right there onto the table between them.

    “Look, I think it’s only fair I tell you. I saw the meds in your kitchen last time,” Cliff said quietly. “The, umm, anti-depressants.”

    Summary

    [“Oh fuck,” Cliff hears himself say out loud as his brain suggests—something. “Roz and Holl…oh, fuck.”

    Pike goes still for a moment before shoving him, rough and unexpected enough that Cliff nearly overbalances. “Fuck off, Marlow,” Pike snarls, hauling him in by the sweater.

    Cliff ignores it, staring past Pike’s shoulder. “Fucking Christ, fucking—are they—”

    “Shut the fuck up, shut up, shut your fucking mouth, Marlow.”

    “They’re—fuck, fuck, I didn’t mean to, I didn’t—” Cliff finds himself looking at Pike almost pleadingly, a weird helplessness buzzing in his fingertips and toes. “I didn’t kno—”

    “You don’t know shit,” Pike says savagely, physically putting himself between Cliff and the space Hollander used to be. “Shut your fucking mouth, you don’t know anything.”]

    OR,

    Cliff Marlow's POV of The Hit and the aftermath, as he starts to put a few things together.

    Summary

    The sports world is on fire. A leaked, heavily redacted copy of the Raiders' joke "truce" letter to Montreal, paired with photos of their drunken night of bonding out at a club, has the entire public convinced that the Montreal-Boston playoff series is a multi-million-dollar fraud — and that Ilya and Shane are two of the masterminds behind it.

    Ilya doesn’t give a shit about the headlines. He doesn’t care about the media circus swarming his hotel lobby, or the strict coach-mandated lockdown confining him to his room. All he knows is Shane is across town spiraling, and he's not with him.

    Good thing Cliff Marleau is willing to do whatever it takes to help his best friend get to his man.

    Summary

    Shane hits Ilya on the ice (a clean hit, the kind every hockey player takes a dozen times a game or practice and simply carry on skating). But Ilya doesn’t keep skating. Ilya goes down. Hard. The thud echoing around the arena. He doesn’t get back up. Shane panics.

    ONE SHOT
