Why this must be read:
Another missing scene, this time from The Plague. Although this story has just a couple of little POV swings in the beginning and end, the scene itself is strong enough to overlook those, and I'm picky about POV. :)
In the show, we learn that one of the boys has come down with the plague while they're out looking for Patient Zero, and next thing we know, they're both at the hospital, hearing the news in full. Hutchrules3 brings her take to how that message was delivered between the doctors' discovery and the hospital trip, complete with the angst and pain that comes from realizing your partner may be dying.
"No," Starsky said quietly into the receiver. "I'll take care of it."
He took a deep breath, squared his shoulders, and turned back to the booth opening, hanging up the phone along the way. Hutch shoved the cup of coffee at him, and rocked back on his heels, hands planted on his hips.
"So?" he prodded. "Wanna tell me what _that_ was about?"
"Hutch..." Starsky looked down at the cup of coffee, recognizing that he had absolutely no desire for it, and set it on the shelf beside the telephone.
Hutch followed the move, took a closer look at his friend's expression...and his anger instantly melted away. Taking a step forward, he laid a hand on Starsky's arm. "Starsk? You okay?"
Starsky didn't respond; he didn't yet trust his voice.
"Something's happened," Hutch guessed, eyes traveling over his partner's face. "What?" he urged gently.
"Judith said they rechecked the blood samples they've been holding, just to see if anyone who was exposed before turned up with this thing."
"And someone did," Hutch surmised instantly.
