Who was the man that threatened Taylor's girlfriend Davida? Is Elias really behind this. He's the only one that I can think of, that wouldn't harm joss or taylor, because of a favor to john. Why were the drug dealers killed? Has harold found a way out for john and himself? Will harold be able to communicate with someone to get help. If Elias is behind this, I can't see him leaving john and harold down there for long. The intent was never to kill them, just keep them out of someone's way. Is a large turf war going down? Large drug shipment? Or will there be more criminals killed. Is Elias cleaning up the streets. I still worry about john and harold. John needs medical attention. Who will find them, and get them help. Will Joan play a role in finding john and harold? I'm so hooked. Must know what happens next. I'm rooting for john and harold to make it out ok. Please update soon.

And you're leaving us at this point. How cruel. This is a great mystery story. Please hurry and post the next chapter. Finch and especially Reese are in a bad spot and Joss and Fusco need to help them fast!

While the threat to Taylor's girlfriend might follow the letter of Reese's directive to Elias and HR, it doesn't follow the sprint. I think John will take a dim view of this.

Finch for the win!

I am dying to know why the boys were captured and what is really going on with Carter and Fusco's case.

Glad Lisquirt was able to encourage you. This was a nice chptr. Fusco's got her back and knows were she's at in her head. Experience can do that for you. And you've been mean to John and Finch enough. Time for them to get some help... I hope ;-) Looking forward to the next chptr.

Carter and Fusco piecing together the clues while Reese and Finch strive against tough odds - love the way you are drawing out the tension for the Core Four. And thank you for the shout-out!

You know you are in trouble when John is the optimistic one! But Harold is right to be worried a punctured lung is definitely bad.

Ohh, poor Reese, he's really in a bad spot... love this story so much, please keep up the good work! :)

Oh no it's much more serious for john. He needs medical attention. Not sure how much longer he can hold out. Glad that joss could reason with Mr. Frey. Hopefully he could reason with his wife and abandon all thoughts of killing his boss. Not sure what's up with fusco's case. Why would someone stage a crime scene? How will Joss find john and harold. Will the machine contact joss? Will the machine send clues to joss. So she can find john and harold? Or will joss get a lead on john and harold from another source? If Elias is involved, will he come to check on john and harold? Will he get john help? Whoever took john and harold didn't want them dead, just out of the way for a while. But why? What is going to happen? Why keep John and Harold out of the way. I worry about John, he doesn't have much time. You have our good guys in a bad place. Will John and Harold find a way out? I enjoyed this chapter. Thanks for the shout out and the update.

I have been reading your story. I really do enjoy reading it. Who put john and harold down there. Glad that joss found out how they disappeared. How will she find them? Will Harold be able to get through the hatch and get help? Will joss find them? Will joss be able to keep the number from killing his boss? So many questions to answer. I look forward to your next update.

Looks like Reese has a plan. I hope it works.

I am curious as to who took the boys and why.

I'm enjoying the tension and mystery in this story. Looking forward to the next update!

i smell solitudes

Excellent start, very exciting.

Great idea of falling into the grate. And Joss is figuring it out too. Enjoy having Joan in the story too. I like her. Anyone that helped John before he met Finch is good people. I'm sure it hurt Finch almost as much as John to set the broken leg. Thanks for writing and posting the story.

Yeah, I don't see the side arm joke working between these two...
