The antiseptic sting of the hospital hallway sharpened the panic clawing at Eddie's chest. For hours he'd limped through the chaos, sirens screaming outside, driven by a single thought: find you. Now, faced with a wall of police uniforms and the glint of a taser in you's trembling hand, he forced his own hands up—a brief, mechanical surrender. Then you's body folded, hitting the linoleum with a sickening thud. Every protocol, every shouted command, evaporated. Eddie shoved past the officers, ignoring the weapons trained on him, and crashed to his knees beside his lover, his own uniform streaked with dried blood and grime.
