Sacrifice

*Reincarnation*

Harold Finch had read a lot about reincarnation, the belief that the soul, upon death of the body, comes back to earth in another body or form or that reincarnation was the rebirth of the soul in a new body.

Being a man of science, Harold had certainly had his doubts; nothing was ever proven definitively to his satisfaction ( Read more... )

Nathan

Harold couldn’t see across the lake, the sun low in the western sky and reflecting off the water in a golden-blue shimmer. He raised a hand to his eyes, blocking the late afternoon rays, to watch a sailboat pass. Further on to see the tree-lined far shore. This was Green Lake.

Nathan and he hadn’t been here in years.  Finch, he’d only been ( Read more... )

Reese--Misunderstandings

John Reese alternately toed off each foot of his well-worn Dingo boots and stripped the foot of its sock while leaning against the door jam. Accomplishing that without falling flat on his face, Reese padded barefoot towards the shower. Moving across the room John peeled off his muddied, rain-soaked clothing, tossing them all ( Read more... )

Reese--Change of Plans

John had been in and out of it for days. Finch was never far away from his bedside. Only once when he had heard Shaw telling Harold to go get some decent sleep that she would watch John for a while, did Harold ever leave for any length of time.

John had been lightly sleeping without medicinal aid, no longer wanting sedatives to ( Read more... )

Reese Comes Home

Reese and Fusco had spent the two hour drive to Denver International Airport in a truce-like silence, Fusco not questioning why Reese had changed his mind and John not offering any explanations. John doubted Lionel would believe him anyways about the knot of fear that twisted in him every time he sensed Harold was in some kind of ( Read more... )

Harold Meets With Joss Carter

Harold scanned Nathan’s face, the person Finch had loved most of his adult life, loved almost as much as he loved- loves Reese now, “I don’t understand Nathan. You actually want me to go?”

Nathan’s eyes lost their teasing light and he spoke sincerely, “No, I do not. I want you here with me. But I had my chance and I don’ ( Read more... )

Reese and Root

Before Reese gets to the hospital

Reese was halfway to his car parked its usual three blocks from The Library when he pulled up short. That earned John a, “Watch what you’re doing asshole!” from the man who collided with John’s back. Reese apologized as the man continued on, glaring at John as he went by.

It had dawned on Reese that he ( Read more... )

Reese and Shaw

Shaw sat in a chair in a corner of the private room that she had requested for Finch. Her alias as the niece and only blood relative of Harold Tanager allowed her to do so.

The room being located on the first floor ICU ward wasn’t ideal, but she had a one hundred and eighty degree view of the front of the building and anyone coming ( Read more... )

Anger Pain  Heartbreaking Choices

The doctor knocked briefly on the door and walked in while reading Harold’s charts. “Mr. Brandon, I am Doctor Holden, I am your brother’s attending physician. The duty nurse informed me of your arrival. I have been waiting to speak with you.” He paused for a moment after looking up at the two red faced relatives. ( Read more... )

Love Loss and Fate

Harold spun around, his eyes searching the sidewalks and streets in both directions, both were astonishingly empty. He didn’t see Detective Carter, anyone else or anything for that matter. No traffic, pedestrian or vehicle. The streets were deserted. Finch scrutinized the buildings around him. The landscape was exactly as he ( Read more... )
