Why this must be read:
The real Ray Vecchio is undercover in Las Vegas and sees Victoria.
If that sentence doesn't make you go 'ooh,' here's the long reason: The most fascinating thing to happen off-screen in Due South is Ray Vecchio's stint undercover as The Bookman in Las Vegas. One of the most fascinating things to happen on-screen in Due South is Victoria crashing back into Fraser's life. Juxtaposing these two events provides a stark look inside the mind of a hardened Ray Vecchio, his feelings for Fraser, and what he will still do for friendship.
Lonnie scooted back, and he opened the door wider, letting Hall and Oates woo-woo into the desert. "We're going to have a private talk, me and her. In case you're still not listening, I said private." They both nodded. "Wait here till I come back."
He didn't help her out of the car, but she made a smooth job of it anyway, twisting and sliding so her skirt rode up over her long stockinged legs. He told her, "Walk," and she headed out, staggering a little when her spike heels sunk into the sand. He kept a careful few feet away from her, out of kicking range.
Luck
I'd also like to again thank

Excellent!
I've been re-watching season 1 and it has reminded me just how often Ray bends over backwards to help Fraser out. This was always one of my possible recs, but the timliness of re-watching season 1 and then re-reading this story makes Fraser's betrayal all the more heart-wrenching and this portrayal of Ray all the more canonical.
