SUMMARY: Litttle dog series #4. Fusco's introduction to the new member
Their first meeting in the library could have gone better. Hearing a skittering noise and seeing movement out of the corner of his eye and thinking “big damn rat” Fusco pulled his gun. A startled gasp and then Finch was awkwardly placing himself between Fusco and the….dog? This explained that weird picture Carter had sent him.
While Finch fixed him with an outraged glare, Reese smirked at him. Recalling John’s role in that picture, Lionel smirked back at the thought of badass Mr. Suit on doggy doo-doo duty. This had the added benefit of making John suspicious, wondering what Lionel found so funny.
Lionel turned his attention away from Reese and back toward Finch, thinking he’d better mend some fences with The Boss pretty quick if he knew what was best for him. So he holstered his weapon and began to pet and exclaim over the little mutt (who really was kinda cute). Finch looked somewhat mollified, while John went back to smirking knowingly.
The next time Fusco visited the library he was prepared. With a flourish he removed the rubber hockey puck from a bag and tossed it to the little dog, who pounced on it with enthusiasm, gnawing at it and causing the toy to emit a series of high-pitched squeaky sounds. Finch looked delighted, while Reese winced at the racket.
Mission accomplished!
