Why this must be read:
When Harold Finch was kidnapped by nefarious hacker Root in the season one cliffhanger episode, John Reese did everything in his power to find and rescue his employer. Dien wrote one of the best and most touching of the follow up stories I’ve read. It combines excellent characterization, h/c and the definite feeling of love that Reese has for Finch.
“Troubleshooting” is actually a missing scene, starting right after Reese finds Finch in the train station where Root had taken him. Reese spirits him out of the station and onto a train heading north, still tense and anxious after his forty eight hour search.
Finch slept all the way to Baltimore. Reese gave himself a migraine with tension, with waiting: waiting for the conductors to squint at his tickets and say there was a problem (there wasn't), waiting at every stop for police officers to board the train, waiting for the announcement over the intercom that the train needed to halt, waiting for an excuse to launch himself back into action again. He studied the window, the frame and the emergency release. He could carry Finch easily, he was sure; if they had to, the window was a feasible escape route.
Dien’s Reese cares deeply for Finch, but hesitates to show his emotions or his feelings, understanding that Finch is also reticent in that regard. But the story ends with the reader realizing that Finch appreciates and cares just as deeply for Reese.
