It always boggles my mind when nobody ever notices the other car trailing behind them that makes all the same turns you do. I mean, I sure as hell notice shit like that. But then again, I'm paranoid. (Blessed are the paranoid, ever watchful for our enemies.)

Just the other night I was driving home after work, was in the right lane while there was this SUV in the left, I put on my right blinker and suddenly this guy was right behind me. He followed me about three car-lengths back for a good ten minutes, and when we were in a deserted area in the middle of nowhere and approaching a stop sign, he flashed his lights a couple of times but I didn't stop. I resolved that if he kept following me I was going to take a side street and double back toward work so he couldn't follow me home, but instead he made a U-turn and went away. I very nearly had a full-blown panic attack.

Crap, that sucks! And yes I agree with you, I notice EVERY car that makes more than 2 of the same turns I do or stays behind me for a long period of time.

My Uncle was in the FBI and he told some pretty funny stories about tailing people who were watching for surveillence and never noticed them. They'd listen in on their conversations during ... They always thought it was some regular person who was 'suspicios' (all in black, on a motorcycle, made eye contact etc ...) or a random person who was coincidentally on the same route for a time. They rarely made the agents (and when they did they just switched them out - good surveillence is a team of people with a team of odd, assorted vehicles). Most people walk around in their own little worlds.

In any case, Reese is supposed to be an expert, I think they just have to show him closer than he would/should be in order to frame the shot. It's more dramatic and suspenseful.

Ugh! Don't blame you! Once I was driving home from work, late at night (like 4am) and a car followed me down my street, which was a sort of two block little cul de sac. I got out and watched as the car drove away. About 5 minutes later, the door bell rang and I looked out the window and there was the naked man on my front porch!!!!!
Luckily, I was living with my folks and my big brother was still at home, too! They called the cops and my brother ran outside to make sure the guy hadn't bothered the old lady next door. The cops came and they had the audacity to ask me if I was sure the guy was naked. I was like, Um, Yeah!

C'mon, Finch, you can do it! Take Bear with you!

(No Bear with him this time, but yay, he made it out of the library!)

Wow, Carter, you're great at making friends.

Oh, ow. Bulletproof vests stop the penetration but not the impact. That's gonna bruise.

WHAT DID YOU TRADE FOR YOUR DEAL WITH ELIAS, FINCH? (Part of me hopes he has to come back and play chess with him. Also hoping Finch wipes the floor with him.)

[bluetattoo]

You read my mind! :)

[tezukasama]

How bad was it that I was picturing various sordid acts of a personal nature in my mind?

[bluetattoo]

Hmmm, I could get behind that idea, too. :D

[bluetattoo]

Elias' payment will be getting to play chess with Finch, how much you wanna bet? :)

[jetpack_angel]

"So how did you spend your afternoon, Finch?"
"Oh, I just took out some trash. And yourself?"
"Mm... same."

I see pain in John's eyes when he drove Riley to admit he'd killed Sean. I have a feeling he knows how much that situation sucks. And he also knows why Riley feels such a debt to her.
