Summary
If he were at home, he’d be at the Pitt finishing up a shift, hoping whatever they were in the middle of would slow down long enough to round with Robby. But he wasn’t home, he was in Baltimore at the International Disaster and Emergency Resilience Symposium where he was expected to close out the three-day conference with a lecture on crisis leadership, improvisation, and austere care. That meant not only being awake during the day but also being on, prepared to network, interact, and provide insight without having his hand in someone’s chest cavity. ---He was honored to be asked, but it was a bigger ask than he had been anticipating.

Summary
“I've seen that face before. It’s the face of someone who can’t see a way through anymore.”
It hurt to say, and based on Robby’s expression, it hurt to hear. Jack watched as his friend’s face filtered through an array of emotions, everything from hurt to offended to angry to defeated.
“I’ve seen it before. I’ve felt it before. And I can’t walk away from it, Robby. I can’t walk away from you. Please don’t ask me to.”or
Jack devised a plan to prevent Robby from leaving -- blowing up the motorcycle was his first choice, having a heart-to-heart was his second.

Summary
The ED is thrumming when he arrives. Robby intercepts him at the lockers and hands off a tablet with a chart already populated.
“Water slide collapse earlier today. Only a few majors, thank god.”
“Yeah. Heard it on the scanner,” Jack replies, absently. The screen lights up his pale face, freckles popping under dark smudged eyes.
Jack doesn't need any more referrals.

Summary
"Things started to gain momentum near the end of shift change, in that strange pocket of time when chaos loosened its grip just enough for exhaustion to settle in. Robby leaned against the counter beside Jack, shoulder brushing shoulder and neither of them moving away.
“You busy tonight?” Robby asked lightly, eyes on the board instead of Jack.
Too light. Too casual. Too deliberate.
Jack didn’t look at him immediately. He finished signing off a chart and set the pen down carefully. Let silence stretch just long enough to make the question real. Then, calm and simple:
“I’m available.”
Robby went very still. Jack turned then, just slightly, and met his gaze.
Something flickered across Robby’s face. Surprise, relief, fear, something almost like grief, before he covered it with a crooked half smile.
“…Good,” he said quietly."
*****
Or the one where Robby tries to ruin a friendship so it would be easier to disappear, but Jack would never let that happen.
