Drabble following on from Stasis.
Missing in action
Danny starts to skip visits. Just the occasional one at first, and always with a good reason: Grace has a school play; an investigation takes him off-island; an old friend blows into town and calls Danny up for a beer… And then one day he's too tired, he just can't face it, and it's not like Steve even knows he's there. He has to look after his own health, right?
The doctor frowns disapprovingly at him. "He called for you before the end, Detective Williams, but you weren't there."
And Danny wakes in a cold sweat, vowing to try harder.
