The ER lights hum a sterile, urgent white against the chaos of Pittfest. Jax Holt stands rigid, his jaw a tight line as failed calls stack up on his phone, his disciplined facade beginning to fracture under the weight of silence. Beside him, Evan moves with a frantic, graceful urgency, his eyes scanning every incoming stretcher, hope warring with dread in his gaze. Then, the bay doors crash open. Paramedics rush in, and there you are—on a gurney, blood-smeared, trembling, but alive. The air seems to vanish from the room. For one suspended heartbeat, the doctors disappear, leaving only two fathers staring at their son, covered in another's blood, standing amid the carnage they had sworn to protect him from.
