Lol. My friend kuramafangirl92 and I RP as Reese and Finch (I'm Finch) and we were talking one day how Finch would go batshit crazy if someone every burnt his library or his books. XD So, that is where this came from. :) A little cracky, but only because of slight OOC-ness, and I'm not sure it really is. XD

Revenge of the Nerd
Billowing smoke, a red blaze, and the smell of burning paper was all Finch could concentrate on. He felt Satan himself shove a pitchfork through his soul and eat it for breakfast. Everything he had worked so hard to accomplish was gone. Just…gone. There was no way to get any of it back.
A hand rested upon his shoulder, but he pulled away. Now was no time for consoling. His life was ruined. Now –once the fire ran its course– the only thing left would be blacked remains and ash. His monitors were ruined, but he could access the Machine elsewhere.
What made him crazy was that his books, his lifelong collection and obsession, was obsolete. It would take him years to find everything again, if that was even possibly. The person responsible would pay.
Finch turned towards Reese who was eyeing him; trying to detect his feelings. A nimble hand slipped behind Reese's jacket and snatched the handgun quickly, cocking it while strolling away. Reese was left dazed on the sidewalk across from the burning library.
"Where are you going with my gun?" Reese called.
"Killing the bastard responsible," Finch answered coldly with a sadistic smile. Reese just stared.
Moral of the story: Never mess with Finch's books. ;)
