Hey guys! I was asked to doing something like the last chapter, but from Reese's pov. I'm not very good with sequels, they don't work for me, but I hope you guys enjoy! And review if the urge strikes you!
Reese sat in the park outside his apartment. Normally, he'd be playing chess in his spare time, but not today. Today, he wanted to be alone. Twelve years ago his life had changed radically, and not for the better. That one event had led to him joining the CIA, and eventually to Jessica's death. Of course, now Reese knew who was technically to blame, but he could never fault Harold for that; Reese had had his chance to save Jessica, in that airport all those years ago.
Reese always mourned for Jessica on this day; this was the day he had lost her, the day he had decided to return to duty.
Reese watched as people passed on the street. Almost no one was enjoying the park today. Hardly anyone was in a mood to enjoy anything. Most had graves to visit, and no time or inclination to walk in the park and think. So why did he sit? Surely there was any number of things he could be doing that would distract him from these memories. But maybe he deserved to be miserable, deserved to feel guilty. After all, he could've saved Jessica, but instead, he let Snow pull him back into another mission.
Suddenly, Reese remembered someone who must be feeling as badly as he was, maybe even worse. Harold felt responsible for Jessica's death, and for everything that followed. Where was the secretive genius? Reese hoped he wasn't sitting alone, remembering all that he had lost and knowing he couldn't change anything. It must be torture for him, to be so close to the one he loved and not be able to go to her.
Reese shook his head. Finch probably would not appreciate him intruding on his privacy on such an emotional day. Reese stood up and began to walk aimlessly, hoping to get rid of some of his restless energy. He had no destination in mind, but he moved purposefully.
It took him nearly fifteen minutes to figure out where his feet were taking him, and by that time, Reese was within sight of the building. He was mildly surprised, but then realized that he shouldn't be. When you find that one person who connects you to the world, you become someone different, and you can't let anything hurt them. You fight for them, protect them from the monsters in their mind. And that was exactly what Reese planned to do as he entered the Library.
Hey! How'd you like it? I'll give you a virtual David Tennant if you review!
