PART 5: George

It's been a long day Crabtree. Get some sleep.

With all due respect, sir, no. I know I'm disobeying orders again, which I know isn't wise, given everything that's happened this year, but I won't rest until I've found it. I don't know what 'it' is, but it has to be in Dr. Ogden's files. The clue has to be here! The name that will blow the top off this whole mess. I'm having horrible flashbacks to when Gillies kidnapped Detective Murdoch. I know this isn't him, because he's dead. But there must be someone else. Someone who had it out for both the Detective and Dr. Ogden. Damn it, it's here, right in front of my face! Who could it be?

What would Detective Murdoch do, if he were here? He'd tell me to go home as well, get some rest and come back. Even he did it-when the Inspector told him to. But look where it got him-not that any of this is his fault. T-that's not what I mean. He had every reason to go home and rest, his day has been far worse than mine. No, what I mean is, I would ignore him if he told me to leave, just as I'm ignoring the Inspector. He didn't stop, when I needed him. He's proven to be a wonderful mentor to me in nine years…as well as a great friend.

Wherever the Detective is, no doubt he's working on an escape, or a plan. No doubt he could get out of this himself, given enough time. But time is something we don't have, I can feel it. Detective's intuition, even though I'm not one. The fact of is is, Detective Murdoch wouldn't quit on me, so I'm not going to quit on him. That's not what friends do. I'm going to find my friend.

And when we find him, that's when I'll sleep.

Author's Note: This is where this was originally supposed to end. But I guess I'm wondering, if there's enough interest, would you want me to keep going? More moments in the episode you'd like to see inner thoughts and turmoil from? Other characters?
