    Summary

    Ilya has a severe allergy to pine nuts,
    Shane is tortured to no end,
    Troy and Harris try their best,
    Scott’s retirement party goes awry,
    And a childish game in the woods takes a turn for the worse.

    All will be fine... probably.

    ***

    “Fuck.” Shane repeated aloud.

    “I-I don’t feel so good,” Ilya confessed grimly, and for a moment, Shane felt like he was falling.

    Helplessly, he watched as Ilya reached down to scratch various patches of his skin — softly at first, at the base of his neck, then more aggressively along the backs of his hands.

    Summary

    “Get the fuck away from him.”

    Shane.

    Everything happened at once after that.

    The man holding Ilya turned too slowly.

    Summary

    Shane snapped.

    Later, people would describe it differently.

    Some called it terrifying.

    Some heroic.

    Some beautiful.

    Shane himself remembered almost nothing except overwhelming, animal panic.

    His gloves hit the ice.

    Then his helmet.

    Then he collided with Volkov hard enough to rip him bodily off Ilya.

    Summary

    No was two letters. A single syllable.

    Possibly the easiest word in the English language.

    And Ilya hadn’t said it.

    Instead, he said, “It meant nothing, Hollander.”
