Why this must be read: Reading this story is like watching one of the most appreciated episodes in this TV show. But longer and more detailed and really, really great. Do you like Shootout? You’re going to like this story too :)

I wriggled my fingers but only felt smooth, cool sheets under the tips. Just doing that much was as tiring as if I'd run five miles. I fought to keep from sliding back under, but sleep was like a 1000-pound weight that pressed me into the mattress. The beeping gradually faded until all I could hear was my own breaths.

Warm fingers slipped into mine and squeezed. At first I thought I was still dreamin', that I was back on the street corner holding my pop's hand. Then there were words, and a voice--not my pop's, but one I'd been anxious to hear.

"Hey, buddy. Heard you were looking for me."

Thank you so much for your rec, Nicky! It's been a long time since I wrote this, and it's great to know people are still enjoying the story.

You are welcome! I’m rather new to this fandom so I’m only now discovering some treasures from the past :)
I’m very happy that you wrote this story, because I admit that I don’t like this episode – however reading about it was completely different and amazing experience and I’ve even learnt to appreciate the episode itself!
Thank you!
