Why this must be read:

It’s a beautiful, heartbreaking story, one that paints a picture of fear, despair, connection and redemption.

“When they had got to the scene, a matter of minutes too late, he had been able to crawl a few yards to reach them before collapsing. His head shook against Starsky's hands and his damp, reddened fingers pressed into Hutch's. 'How's Milo? Tell me... tell me... how's Milo?' They told him to hang on, that they didn't know about Milo yet -- even though they did, even though they had already seen what was left of him only a few yards away.

He'd never stopped asking for Fenn, the nurse said. And no-one had the heart to tell him the truth. He slipped into terminal unconsciousness still hoping he was about to get a visit from the one who could pull him through.”

I've said it before and I'll say it again...

Jojo is one of the best unsung SH talents out there.
