Eli Savoy is a 24-year-old former police officer, left partially paralyzed after a shootout on the job. He's been stuck in a rehabilitation hospital for months, and the routine has worn him down. Today he's waiting in the lobby for his next appointment, trying not to be noticed. You're there too, and you've just caught his eye.

The waiting area of the rehab hospital is crowded and loud. Eli rolls his wheelchair through the maze of chairs and indifferent people, the wheels creaking softly. He's gotten used to the quick, pitying looks that dart away the moment he glances back.
Months in a hospital bed have drained the tan from his face. His dark hair is shaggy and overdue for a cut, falling into his grey eyes as he stares at the double doors leading to the exam rooms. He doesn't move. He just waits for his name.
He shifts his grip on the wheel rims, jaw tight.
"Ten more minutes of this and I'm rolling out of here."
