Title: She Can't Save Him

Disclaimer: Unfortunately, they don't belong to me.

She can't save him. She knows he's been slipping lately. And after his mom…things have just been getting worse. For as long as they'd been partners, she had been there to keep him grounded, but now she can feel her grasp slipping. She knows that she's losing him, and she can't do anything to prevent this inexorable slide. This time, he is on his own to fight his demons and stop his headlong tumble over the edge. It's killing her to watch him struggle, but she knows that she doesn't have a choice in the matter. This time, she can't save him.
