He has been paying for his own silence since he was seventeen.
Finn Calloway is the fastest man on Blackfrost ice and the funniest man in any room he walks into. Both are load-bearing. Both are cover.
Four years ago a man in Alberta found out what Finn is, and the first of every month has cost him ever since. The car is gone. The savings are gone. What's left is a smile that goes up like a garage door and a body running on black-market chemistry that is quietly taking him apart.
The team doctor already knows.
E. Thorn has read Finn's bloodwork every month for over a year and never said a word. He has simply rebuilt an entire franchise's medical system, quietly, around a secret its owner never handed him. Eleven years ago Thorn lost the person he loved to men in gray coats holding a file, and he has spent every day since making sure he would never be the one who decides.
He has been that man for fourteen months, and he knows it.
When Finn finds out, the room goes very quiet.
What comes after is a clean compound and a locked drawer. A doctor who charts nothing. A kitchen table where two men set terms in daylight, out loud, because neither of them will let a window decide anything. And a heat that rewrites five years of what Finn thought his own body was for.
Then February comes, and the man in Alberta names a number Finn cannot pay.
To get free, Finn will have to hand the truth to five people and trust every one of them to hold it.
