"This isn't funny," Reese said. He yanked at the cuffs holding his wrist to the bed. Unfortunately the headboard was solid cast iron, something he would commend if he weren't the one cuffed to it, and anything remotely able to be turned into a lockpick was far out of reach of his free arm.

"I'm not joking," said Finch. He continued packing the briefcase with money, having already hidden the tracker and recording device inside.

"I can make the drop," Reese insisted. "You don't have to risk it alone."

"I'll have Carter and Fusco for backup," Finch said. "And I think the fact that I could get those handcuffs on you at all is ample proof that you're in no condition to do it." He closed the case with a snap and locked it. "We can't afford to wait until the drugs are out of your system."

"They are out. I'm fine now."

"Then it shouldn't take more than half an hour for you to escape those cuffs and join us. Though by then everything should be wrapped up satisfactorially, so it would be a better use of your time to rest and recover." Finch picked up the case in one hand and his cane in the other, and turned to the door.

"Dammit, Harold, I can't just lie here doing nothing, not knowing what's happening to you!"

Perhaps Finch was right about the drugs still affecting him; that had been rather more honest than he'd intended. Reese was probably imagining the flinch in his steps, as well, before he turned, scooped Reese's phone off the desk, and tossed it onto the bed. "That will have to do until I can replace your broken earpiece."

Reese's mouth twisted in a vague approximation of a smile. "You don't have a spare?"

"That was the spare," Finch retorted. His face softened, just a bit, and he added, "I'll be fine, John. I promise."

Reese swallowed and nodded curtly, and Finch left, locking the door behind him.

As soon as Reese heard his footsteps fade in the distance, he grabbed the phone and hit it against the cast iron rails until the screen cracked into shards, and used the best one to pick the lock. Thirty minutes was a gross overestimation.

Heee, John is such a BAMF. And oh, how they care for each other. /hearts

Best line - "That was the spare." Also, thirty minutes is clearly a gross overestimation - Reese will probably try to get to the handoff before them, just on principle!

Heh, indeed. I think Finch has kind of overlooked the fact that Reese was likely trained to work through minor inconveniences like druggings and injuries.

However, I suspect that while Reese will get out of the cuffs fairly easily, he will not avoid some... interesting side-effects on the way there. I just can't decide the proper balance of hilarious and life-threatening said effects should result in.... :P

::g:: Oh, LOVE John!

Eeeee. <3<3<3

Aww!!

eeee, delighted OP here, thank you!! <3 also John, you are very sneaky. <3

You are marvelous!

Hilarious and awesome, from first line to last, loved it. Laughed out loud at using the phone as lockpick, bamf hearts.

John might be drugged but he will never be less than lethally competent. And love protective, this-is-for-your-own-good!Harold.

I just love the protectiveness here (on both sides) and that Harold was able to get the cuffs on John at all. Sneaky Harold.
