Oh man, I keep forgetting to do this. POI has complete ownership of these characters, I stake no claim to them whatsoever...
"Mr. Reese?" Finch's voice came over the earpiece.
"Kinda busy, Harold," he muttered as he worked on getting the back doors of the van open. They refused to budge, and as he looked in the window, not only did he see the disheveled face of their latest number, but he saw the bomb sitting behind her, with only thirty seconds left on the timer. He quickly evaluated his options, glancing around to see if there was anything he could use to break the window. Seeing nothing, he sighed to himself, covered his face, and rammed his elbow into the window. The first hit sent spiderweb cracks through the glass; the second shattered the window. He reached his long arm inside and felt around until he finally found the handle, and to the side of it, the lock. He popped the lock and quickly opened the door, jumping inside and rushing over to their number as fast as he could.
He flipped open a knife and sliced through the bindings like butter. "Get out of here!" he said urgently. She didn't need to be told twice. Reese looked at the bomb, wondering if he could possibly find a way to stop it from going off. The blinking 10 on the clock face made a compelling argument against that course of action. He jumped from the back of the van and ran, trying to catch up to the fleeing victim.
"Mr. Reese, what's going on? Were you able to disarm the bomb?"
"No, there was no time. I got Kelsey out of there, but-" There was a loud explosion before he could say anything further. Both Reese and the number were far enough away that they avoided the immediate explosion, but the force of it still threw both of them into the air.
"Mr. Reese? Mr. Reese, can you hear me? John!"
