The story then shifts to “Part One: From the Start,” focusing on Declan’s upbringing, the meaning behind his full name, and how family affection shaped his identity. A subsequent “The First Dig” scene introduces an unsettled teenage dread and a family meeting that triggers a painful realization and a desire for a clean slate.","ThanQ God  \nfor the downloads, the pathways, and the purpose.  \nThanQ  \nfor showing me how imperative it is to dig.  \nTo Jason  \nfor the vows, and for making good on every single one,  \nevery single day.  \nTo Nathan  \nfor inspiring me with your moral compass and your  \nprofound wisdom.  \nTo my folks  \nfor making every dream of mine a possibility.  \nTo my students of yesteryear: May you find yourselves in this book and in more  \nways than one.  \n[OceanofPDF.com](OceanofPDF.com)  \nTHROUGH QUICK AND QUINN  \nERICA M IMRAN SHERLOCK  \n[OceanofPDF.com](OceanofPDF.com)  \nThrough Quick and Quinn  \nCopyright © 2025 Erica Sherlock (Defiance Press & Publishing, LLC) First Edition: 2025  \nPrinted in the United States of America 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1  \nAll rights reserved.

Air is getting caught between my sobs and my screams.  \n“Geoffrey! Geoffrey!” I fall to the ground, dizzy and gasping. I choke on my tears and start coughing, which finally alerts the people around me to pay attention. Had I not been screaming long enough or loud enough? Did they think it was a game?  \nA lady bends down next to me and asks if I need help, if I’m okay. The look of concern on her face reminds me that I have a mother of my own, and I yell for her as I sprint to where she was in line just a few minutes before. I see my dad’s head above the others and I push my way to him, collapsing into his arms.  \n“Deck! Deck, are you ok?” Dad is fanning my face and searching for answers there, but my mom already knows.  \nHysteria takes hold of my mother.“Declan, where is Geoffrey? Declan!”  \nI can hear the fright in her voice right before I pass out.  \n[OceanofPDF.com](OceanofPDF.com)  \nPART ONE:  \nFrom the Start  \n[OceanofPDF.com](OceanofPDF.com)  \n~~Declan:~~  \nA Decision of Indecision  \nWhat would a child get if he was blessed with a mother who saw  \nmeaning in every single thing and a father who just chuckled and went along with it all? A name like Declan Alexander Broderick Williams.  \nMy mom used to say that every piece of my name had meaning, that she couldn’t deny me any of them.  \nDeclan  \nOrigin: Irish  \nMeaning: full of goodness Alexander  \nOrigin: Greek  \nMeaning: defender of men  \nBroderick  \nOrigin: English, Welsh, Irish  \nMeaning: brother  \nMy dad chalked it up to her indecisive tendencies, that she couldn’t choose a name. But she did decide. She chose all three names that came before the given one. She knew that I would be a model big brother, always protecting my future siblings with goodness. Manifestation, she called it. Not that it really mattered. No one called me by any of those names when I was growing up. Everyone called me Deck, even him.
