“Ah, there you are Mr. Reese”
John tensed. Finch’s voice just oozed smugness. John felt bad about destroying the cushion. Well, a little bad. Maybe. Ok, he didn’t really regret it, although he was sorry he couldn’t have appreciated Harold’s present more. He was just tired of the nagging to use it. But he also knew Finch wouldn’t forgive or forget what he had done. Now, apparently, it was payback time.
“I thought I would get you something to replace the present that met such an unfortunate end. I think you may find this a bit more to your taste.”
Reese accepted the proffered box gingerly. He slowly removed the lid to find nestled inside -- a gun. A very *sparkly* handgun. A gun so pimped out in gold plating and gemstones it must weigh double its normal weight.
Yup, payback.
Squeaky toy. Bedazzled gun. Fusco and Finch were definitely taking gift giving to new lows.
Glancing down at the dog sitting at his feet chewing away at a kong, he sighed; couldn’t let the little guy gnaw on this one. No sense making him collateral damage.
He thought about re-gifting the gun to Carter but quickly rejected that idea. She’d shoot him with it. In a limb, because they were buddies now. But still, getting shot sucked.
Looking up at the evil grin on Finch’s face John’s spirits sank lower. The little schemer probably already had a plot to embarrass him with it.
John cringed at the thought of Mark and the other CIA agents seeing him with this. They wouldn’t have to shoot him, John would die of embarrassment.
#########
OK, now it was John’s turn. He’d finally gotten rid of that hideous gun.
He was forced to lure someone into mugging him. All that bling made someone stupid enough to try. Unfortunately John had to wave the tacky thing around in the open as bait, attracting too much attention. (Fusco and Carter had burst into hysterical laughter when they read the police report of the incident)
Now to think of an appropriate “thank you” for Finch.
Of course, John’s advantage was that Finch would be too polite not to use whatever gift John gave him.
Twilight movies DVD? ....No, Finch would make him watch them with him
Rap CD?... John would probably end up with it as a ring tone.
A book? A bad book?…No, not sure that Finch would consider any book bad. And again, Finch might choose to share his gift with John
John needed a safe gift. Something that couldn’t be turned against him….
“John, you really shouldn’t have” Finch murmured as he dubiously eyed the shocking pink tie sporting a hula girl, palm trees, and a rather tipsy looking parrot.
“oh no Finch, it was my pleasure”
