Why this must be read:

I'm unexpectedly going to be out of town for the last week this month. There's still a whole list of fics I wanted to rec, and I saved some of my favorites for last. So I'm trying to rush some recs out while I'm packing. I'll be skimping on the descriptions, but not on the my enthusiasm. Read these stories!

Colby's sick. But it's not just the flu. Is someone trying to kill him?

Sample the Wares

Colby's cell phone rang three times before he woke up and answered it. It usually only took one ring.

"Granger..."

"CeeJay?"

Colby blinked a couple of times and waited for his brain to start working. "Dad?"

"Yeah, son, it's Dad. You get so wrapped up in a case or something that you forgot to make your weekly call to the old man?" Gareth Granger said.

Weekly call? The light bulb went on and Colby groaned. He called his dad every week just to shoot the breeze with him. He blinked again and looked for a clock. What time was it?

"Sorry, Dad. I'm not on top of my game right now." Colby said, hoping he didn't sound as bad as he felt.

"You do sound like shit. What's up?"
