***Author's Note***

"The idea was fantastically, wildly improbable. But like most fantastically, wildly improbable ideas it was at least as worthy of consideration as a more mundane one to which the facts had been strenuously bent to fit." -Douglas Adams (from "The Long Dark Tea-Time of the Soul")

I had this crazy idea for this fic where people saw John do something impressive and (in his opinion) overreact. It turned into this beast of a multi-chapter... thing.

It's been said that every story has three sides: mine, yours, and the truth.

Whoever said that was a damned liar and a fool.

Every story has exactly one side, and it's the side that is fed to the press, released in real time, and embraced by the general populace. True or not, it's the only side that matters, despite the existence of more accurate accounts.

Especially when there's CCTV footage to back it up.
