“If this has all been a sick joke,” Jean says, “you have reached new heights of abusive, and I want you to start paying for my therapy, you psychopath.”
“I don’t have any money,” Harry says. “I have ten reál and twenty-two… ah… smaller reál."
“Centims,” Jean mutters.

Summary
Jean laughs. “You’ve always outranked me. You were late to the force, but you’re ten years older than I am, and you were a psychopath about getting promoted. I couldn’t keep up with you. I rode your coattails, and then the ride ended, and I started cleaning up your mess instead. I’ll be a Satellite-Officer until one of us dies.”
RHETORIC: There’s a bittersweetness to the way he says this. This is the closest to marriage that he’s ever wanted to get.

Summary
Kim squints at Harry while processing this information. “Okay,” he says. “That actually does explain some things about your… dynamic. So, you two were intimate? This wasn’t a, khm… unrequited situation?"
“On which end would you expect it to be unrequited, Kim?” Harry says, offended.

Summary
“Detective,” Kim says patiently, “once again — you outrank me, and Officer Vicquemare is your partner.”
“So?”
“So why don’t you ask him to not call you a silly asshole?”
Harry levels his gaze with Jean’s. “I order you to not call me a silly asshole,” he says, pointing at him.
Jean, without breaking eye contact, gives him the middle finger with both hands.

Summary
INLAND EMPIRE: Jean thinks that his feelings for you are more valid than your feelings for Dora. She’s long gone, while your lives and careers remain inextricably linked. You’ve spent the better part of the last five years inseparable, protecting each other from deadly harm. He felt that his love for you should have been enough to pull you back from the abyss of regret and alcoholism. He also resents Dora for doing what he was unable to do: detach from you emotionally and flee the scene of your slow-motion self-immolation.

Summary
Harry folds his arms behind his back and walks up the two rickety steps to the church door, then turns to them grandly like a museum docent. “Gentlemen,” he says. “My theory.”
“Yes?” Jean says, sounding impatient already.
“For fuck’s sake, Jean, I haven’t even started talking yet,” Harry says.

Summary
Jean’s breaths are even shallower, now. He leans down, his elbows on his knees, his head hanging low. “I don’t know,” he says, his voice a low rumble. “I really don’t know. I can’t let you go, I don’t even know who I am without you. I don’t know what the fuck my life is without you in it. Okay?”
“But I make you miserable,” Harry says.
“It’s always been my hope that one day you would stop doing that.”Series

“Hey, so glad you joined the task force, lieutenant,” Chester says to Kim. “Now instead of two guys yelling at each other in front of the rest of the precinct, we have three guys yelling at each other. Major improvement.”
Kim lifts an eyebrow at Chester, silencing him.

Summary
Jean hands his water to Harry, then lies back against the pillows, his eyes closing. “Harry...”
“Yes?” Harry says with a goony smile, hoping for an unguarded admission of love to slip out while Jean is under the influence of mind-altering substances.
But Jean just rasps, “Did you make your fucking IG statement yet?”

Summary
They’re all quiet for a moment, then Harry looks up at Jean and says, “Do you really think the Coalition would try to synthesize a biological agent from the phasmid?”
“Who knows, at this point,” Jean says. “I’m sure I’m just being paranoid, but on the other hand, they tried to have us killed.”Series
