Mister Finch made a brutally honest point. They probably wouldn't live long if they kept pursuing this path. Not that John had anything to lose this late in his life. After getting the answer he didn't like from Finch and saving the right people, John made the decision to stick around and see how far he and Finch would go with this anonymous heroes stunt.
With his payments, he decided to get a better motel room. There was no reason, although he now had the means, to get a proper house for himself. Temporary accommodations could only help him cover his tracks and keep him anonymous to the authorities. That Carter detective could be a problem if she kept investigating him. Lionel would have to be his smoke shield if the wanted to keep off the radar.
With enough, steady money incoming, he bought himself some new clothes. After his trip to Oyster Bay with Fusco, he realized that maybe he would need more than two pairs of shirts, suits and pants if was going to keep getting into that kind of trouble.
He thought about investing in exercising, since this "concerned third party" job would definitely make him more active, but what the hell, he got enough stamina to go around. A punching bag wouldn't be a bad idea, though. he could probably sneak it into one of the unused rooms at the library, just to keep him entertained.
John needed a purpose in life. A purpose to keep living, helping other people and maybe helping himself in the process. That's why he decided to stay. Also, he liked a mystery. And Finch definitely was one.
A/N: So, I decided to re watch POI after the finale and the idea of writing something after every episode sounded like a good idea. Let me know what you think?
