Oh fabulous!

Gripping the wheel so tight that your knuckles start to ache, you drive and you think about everything you’ve lost and how close you just came to losing what little you have left.

The look that Linc shot at Michael after he fooled gun-toting-velour-tracksuit-skank-Nika was just priceless - you just knew there was so much he wanted to say right then.

You think of your last, desperate calls to L.J. and to Vee - Christ, Vee - and the pain reaches up and grabs your chest and squeezes it tight. You push the pain down, push it away, because you can’t let yourself think about it now. One day, maybe soon, you’ll be somewhere safe and quiet and you’ll be able to let yourself fall apart. But not now.This just killed me... *sobs* I liked that you acknowledged his pain over Vee being still there, but that he couldn't deal with it just yet. My heart just breaks for him every time I think about it

Thank you!

Yes, and none of it allowed in an 8pm time-slot, lol!

I had to, because I can't believe that it's not with him every single minute of the day. Perhaps he's telling himself that there's a chance she's still alive, that perhaps she was just wounded, but I don't think so. He's too cynical for that now. *hugs him*

Awwww poor Linc! He really hasn't had a chance to let go!
I suppose that a good thing for Michael in this case because
with his own loss so new and raw he can see the pain so clearly
in his little brother.

We’ve got half the state looking for us and you’re making calls to someone whose phone line is bound to be tapped.”

I really wonder if the show will show us that the intercepted that
call. I mean they WOULD HAVE!! I hope they get that right on
screen.

“I need to make sure she’s safe.” He looks at you pleadingly,
Poor Linc is at his lil brothers mercy on this one because that
look it excatly the same one Linc threw at Michael as he pleaded
with him to go after LJ.

Very nice!!!

[msgenevieve]

Thanks!

Awwww poor Linc! He really hasn't had a chance to let go!

Yes, poor man. In his own way, he's as tightly wound up as Michael, not able to give himself time to grief for what he's lost. He just has to keep going and hope that one day soon, he'll be able to catch his breath and let it all catch up to him. *sighs*

You'd *have* to think that her phone was being monitored. After all, she was *arrested* for aiding and abetting, lol!

with him to go after LJ.

Bingo. How can Linc refuse when he's done exactly the same thing (and it was a lot more dangerous) to Michael?

[pamalax]

Forgive me for butting into this conversation but a couple of your comments confused me, msgen (in terms of the show, not your lovely fic):

You'd *have* to think that her phone was being monitored. After all, she was *arrested* for aiding and abetting

I was under the impression that Michael and Linc were only using prepaid cell phones, like those tracfone things? Isn't that why they're worried about being traced but not too worried? They can make the conversation quick and then ditch the phone so as to keep the feds at bay? I thought that's what Linc did after he talked to LJ in Otis, you see him leave the phone on the road.

What exactly did Sara get arrested for? I thought it was a drug charge but some people think it's for aiding and abetting. And the idiot officer who arrested her didn't mention the charge when he gave read her her Miranda rights.

Anyway, I apologize for intercepting your lovefest, msgen. Please write more! :)

This whole thing was great.

But this?

You swear under your breath, then out loud. “Fuck it,” you mutter, shaking your head in defeat as the crappy country music wafts over you. “Let’s do it.”

Fucking perfect. So Linc.

I imagine he's uttered those phrases quite a bit in his life. *g*

[msgenevieve]

Fucking perfect. So Linc.

Hee. Thank you!

It just makes so much sense to have Linc swear a lot, doesn't it? He's so much 'rougher around the edges' than his brother, but it's not as though he needs the swearing to be tough. That's just how he is.

Loved it. I love the contrast between Michael and Linc. And I love seeing this from Linc's point of view - it is nice to see him being the older brother.

Thanks for sharing.

[msgenevieve]

Thank you! I'm fascinated by the differences/contrast between them myself.

[blue_patton]

Angsty Linc, I love it! I love how you write from his perspective. God, you are great at *really* getting into the characters! :)

[msgenevieve]

Linc is seriously wonderful to write. And thank you. *g*
