Summary
“Your name is Charles?”
“Yeah. Charles Leclerc.”
They stared at each other. The rumbling of an engine starting sounded from somewhere outside.
“You really don’t know who I am?”
Max shook his head wordlessly.
“So then… back at the bar–”
“I said the first name that came to mind,” Max said hollowly. “I was hoping that you’d just go along with it.”
The man–Charles–bit his lip, dropping his eyes to where his fingers were drumming on the countertop. His shoulders began to shake slightly, and, for a second, Max was afraid that he’d burst into tears.
That wouldn’t be fair. Max was the one who had been drugged and then essentially abducted, even if it was by a well-meaning, apparently famous person. If anyone should be crying, it was definitely him.
or, Max gets his drink spiked in a club, and rescue comes from an unexpected source.

Summary
“Hi mate, I’m Daniel, Ollie’s dad,” Daniel introduces, reaching forward to shake his hand. Max takes it, smiling back at Daniel.
“Nice to meet you Daniel. I’m Max,” he says. “Mrs. Holdstead is on maternity leave so I will be Oliver’s teacher for the rest of the school year.”
He has an accent, but Daniel can’t place from where.
Or, Daniel's gotten used to life being just him and Oliver. That is until he meets his son's kindergarten teacher.

Summary
"I, uh, can I come over for winter break?" Max says, voice rocky and wobbly. There's something else, something gritty and anxiety-ridden in the way the words flow through the speaker and it makes the hair stand up on the back of Daniel's neck.
"I'm in Perth for Chrissy? I'm not in Monaco—"
"I know you're in Perth," Max says, "I am also in Perth."

Summary
After the lawsuit, Buck’s still on the outs with most of the team, despite being back a month and apologising almost daily. Waking one morning, and knowing it would be a rough day, Buck relishes with the knowledge that he’d be left alone and treated worse than a probie… except someone’s out with flu and Bobby reluctantly puts him back on calls for the day as a last resort. Something that should make him feel on top of the world ends up feeling like another punishment. Vowing not to let the weight of the day get to him, he tries to keep his head down, only for their first call, Buck’s first in months, end up being one that forces him to relive his past and he reveals things about himself he’d kept secret for ten years.
