Tony's not really sure why it's never bothered him before now. Almost daily, he's photographing partially decomposed bodies, interviewing distraught family members and emotionless killers. Amid the devastation of this crime scene, though, all those years of practiced detachment can't overcome the feeling of impending doom closing in on him.

Ok...those fifteen hairs in the shower drain certainly didn't help, either.

After EJ left, he thought he was starting to figure it all out. Who he was. What he wanted out of life. He's no longer so sure anymore, and time is of the essence.

The Man Upstairs is watching.
