First off, thank you so much to everyone who left me a review, especially anonymously, since I don't have a direct way of doing so. I can't thank you enough for all of your lovely and encourage words. Also, thanks to everyone who added this story to his/her favorites or alerts. You all rock!

And here's it, the last chapter and before the next episode, just like I hoped. yay! Being Fusco's POV this one is a bit lighter than the others, and that's kind of why I left it to the end. I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I did writing it! Fusco is so fun to write :P

I don't owe Person of Interest or any of its characters and thanks to PJTL156 for the beta.

OoOoO

Lionel Fusco.

Uh-oh, this is big. Even for the Suit. That was Lionel Fusco's first thought watching the five SUVs parked in front of the building and several SWAT guys guarding the area around the bank.

After Carter's call and the following conversation with Glasses, he had known things were bad, but not this bad. Shit was going down in there, he just knew it.

Fusco rushed out of his patrol car, not looking at the two cops he knew were walking behind him.

Even though they just watched him get out of a fucking patrol car and the guys behind him had police uniforms on, one of the SWATS's stopped them.

"This building is secure. No one can get in or out."

Fusco rolled his eyes, taking out his badge. "Detective Fusco, NYPD."

The SWAT officer didn't move, and Fusco snorted. "Come, we came about the 911 call about the explosion. Gotta get inside to check it out."

Fusco cursed in his mind. If Suit gave him a hard time about being late he was gonna be fucking pissed at these guys. No like he could do anything even then, but still.

SWAT number one exchanged a look with number two and then opened the door and stepped aside, letting them in.

Fusco barely stopped himself from giving the guy a snapped remark. The last thing he needed was getting kicked out when he just got in, so he settled for a grumbled thanks.

What was normally the fancy and busy bank lobby was now filled with SWAT officers and nervous -and some even scared- people standing in two lines.

It didn't take long for Fusco to spot Glasses.

Good. If something bad had happened to the guy before he got there, Mr. Lethal would have snapped his neck in two. Subconsciously, Fusco touched the back of his neck.

He made his way toward Finch, spitting out orders to get the cops walking behind the hell away from him.

Fusco stopped in front of Glasses, his back to him avoiding eye contact. He was trying his damned hardest to be discreet about it -something "he can't pull off even to save his ass" according to Carter- He hoped it was good enough.

"Don't worry. I got you covered."

Glasses didn't answer him, but she heard the girl -probably the damsel in distress of the day- asking him about John and Fusco couldn't stop his eyes from meeting Finch's.

There was despair and a hopeless uncertainty filling his eyes. And there Fusco was damn sure he saw the flicker of an almost overwhelming concern hidden behind his normally dull and wary eyes.

Fusco swallowed. If Glasses was acting this way things with the Suit must be damn fucked up. Christ, maybe the guy was already death. Shot right through the head by that FBI Agent friend of his. Fusco shuddered. Somehow the thought didn't sound as good as he thought it would over a year ago.

With one last look at Glasses, Fusco kept walking. He looked around the bank, doing his best to look like he was working, while in reality all he was doing was wait for something to happen.

Fusco wasn't sure how much time had passed when it did.

The first thing Fusco noticed were the murmurs and looks people started to throw. Then he looked at Glasses, struggling to seem detached about whatever it was, but mostly failing, craning his neck uncomfortably to see.

Without hesitation, Fusco walked to the lobby of the bank, stopping death in his tracks as soon as he saw a cuffed Reese being escorted by several heavily armed SWAT, along with three other guys that looked kinda the same 'dangerous and crazy' type as the Suit.

Eyes trailing back, Fusco found Carter walking besides that weird business-like Agent that took down HR, without saying a word. He seemed angry and she was worried and... sad. Fusco flickered his eyes to Reese. No wonder, she even called the guy John after all and Suit liked her a hell of a lot better than he liked Fusco. Though maybe that wasn't the best comparison he could make, considering the guy liked his bloody dog more than he liked Fusco. And wasn't that just fucking hilarious? Yeah, it could be if it wasn't so damn annoying.

Shaking his head, Fusco turned his thoughts back to the important thing right now.

Fusco caught Carter's eye and tried to ask her what was all of this about, but she lowered her gaze, shaking her head slightly. Seemed he was gonna have to wait to get an answer out of her.

When Fusco turned his eyes back to Reese, he was startled to find the guy's eyes looking right back at him. Christ, the guys was so gonna give him a damn heart attack.

Meeting Reese's gaze, Fusco watched him threw a discrete look to the right, one that without thinking Fusco followed, finding Finch standing there, his pale wide eyes glued to Reese's form; and damn, Fusco had to give the little guy some credit, because Glasses was holding it together a lot better than he had thought he would.

When Fusco returned his gaze to Reese's face, he wasn't all that surprised to find the order -or rather threat- written plainly there: Look after him or I'm gonna kill you in a bloody and awful death.

And Christ, how the guy pulled off look threatening even arrested and with fucking handcuffs on his wrists was beyond him.

Fusco looked at Reese right in the eye before giving him a slight nod. It wasn't until the parade of arrested guys and SWATs was over that Fusco realized he hadn't done it because of Reese's threat, but because it felt like something he had to keep doing, even with the Suit out of the picture. And Christ, when had that happened?

OoOoO
