Just seeing Nestor Carbonell's name in the credits just made me miss my Lost OC so damn bad bc of how much of a heavy-handed background player Richard was in her story.

More Give and Take just to prove it's not dead in the water, this time three sections bc this chapter is a fucking behemoth and just keeps going. I call it Gorgo (does that make sense with how Gorgo ends? NO) :
McCone landed another hit on her shoulder. "Stop fucking around," he chided.
"Then stop pulling your punches if you're so convinced this is necessary!"
Wrong thing to say, considering who she was talking to. Maybe even the dumbest thing to say. The challenge was accepted instantaneously. He merely raised his eyebrows, then did just as she instructed, rapid-firing uppercuts and hooks near nonstop. She barely managed to get out of the way of any of them in time.
McCone caught her by the arms and shoved her hard against the nearest wall. He barely gave her a second to react before he charged her again, and immediately she understood how Ben must've felt on the jet perfectly well.
After a few seconds he'd backed her into the corner, effectively trapping her in place. As a last ditch effort she sidestepped and kicked out at his injured leg when she noticed he'd left it wide open.
She successfully made contact and he bit off on an answering shout. He looked at her and that damn predatory smile was back. " 'Atta girl."
-----------------
And okay, maybe this was Red Hunter's little way of sticking it to the Network. Sure, the Network have started it, but this was them… finishing it on their terms without the organization's long grubby fingers involved. What had she thought in that bar that night that seemed so long ago? The devil you know.
------------------
"Tell me you want this," he said, and it was the most raw she'd ever heard him.
She frowned at him at that, found him watching her intently despite looking a little unfocused. Something in her broke for him again, and she wondered just how much the check-in was for himself as it was for her. And there was some dark part of her that maybe did get a little too caught up in Molie and Ben's stupid leash theory - the trained attack dog who hunted her on his boss' whim had traded sides, shoved the leash into her hands and operated on her orders now - and possibly didn't move without one. Which, in this particular context was perfectly welcome, but outside? The more she chased that train of thought, the more she didn't like it - or what she was starting to see herself as within that scenario. And well, they were already going all sorts of intimate, why stop there? She brought her hands back up to anchor his head in place and she was srurpised when he looked her in the eye. "Do you?"
Something unreadable but positive flashed in his eye in a moment, but it was gone the next. "Abso-fucking-lutely."
Back to performative. "I'm asking you, not the Chief."
"One in the same in this case." He glanced down at her mouth and licked his bottom lip, and if that didn't fucking nearly sidetrack her all over again. "Yes. That better?"
Always a goddamn critic. "It is, actually."
He hummed in acknowledgement, then his hand was back against her throat. "Now you."
So much for… whatever the Hell that moment had been before. Fuck it. "Yeah."
