SUMMARY: based on a chat comment by Kim Or a loooong time ago
It was a dark and stormy night. Suddenly, a shot rang out.
Reese whirled around, his gun at the ready.
“Lionel!”
“Don't shoot! Don't shoot”
“What were you thinking?”
“There was a rat! A huge, hairy rat. And he was coming right for me!”
“So much for not arousing suspicion.”
“No worries, in this neighborhood no one's gonna think twice about a little gunfire.”
Reese's reply was interrupted by a frantic demand for an update from Finch.
“No need to worry, Harold. It was just Fusco being Fusco.”
“Hey! Next time you can get your own takeout. And since when do you have beer on a stakeout?”
“That's not a beer.”
“Then what is it?”
“There are no bathroom breaks on a stakeout, Lionel.”
“Ewww, you're kiddin' me, right?”
“I am afraid he is quite serious. Although judging from the sounds I have been picking up from the detectives lower intestines, you may want to make an exception in this case Mr. Reese. And Detective Fusco, I have asked you before to carry your phone in the upper pocket of your jacket to avoid this sort of ...excess noise.”
“Serves you right, you nosy....”
“Watch it, Lionel.”
“*grumble grumble* I'm beginning to think that the rat had better manners than the two of you.”
