TITLE: Post-2.10 Shadow Box ficlet

CHARACTERS: Reese, Finch, Bear
RATING: G
SPOILERS: 2.10 Shadow Box
WORD COUNT: 160
Reese would just have to endure until it was over.
Finch was certainly displaying his superior command of the English language, as he had been going on for 15 minutes with variations of “I told you so” and “Never do that again” without having to repeat himself once. Such comments were interspersed with Finch‘s opinion of John‘s intelligence (low), judgment (poor), recklessness (off the scale), martyr complex (tiresome), and tendency to attract trouble (annoying). But after the miracle Finch had pulled off in freeing him, John felt that he couldn’t really object. So he stood silent during Finch’s “tirade“ (all the more potent for Harold never raising his voice), staring glumly at the floor and wincing occasionally when Harold made a particularly pointed comment.
Bear, who had bounded forth to greet Reese on his return, had long since retreated to sit by Harold. He gazed at John sympathetically but was clearly unwilling to come to his defense in this situation.
