“Cutter!”

Lester sighed as Nick slowly looked up. He wasn't paid nearly enough to attempt counselling on one Professor Nicholas Cutter.

On the other hand, no one else was willing to try.

“Hart made his own choices, Cutter. Don't lessen his sacrifice by getting yourself killed.”

Nick's face flushed with anger, “I ...”

“You recklessly charged in to a dangerous situation without waiting for backup.”

For a moment, Lester thought he might just have got through to the insufferable man.

“I didn't.”

Or maybe not. Just what would it take to get through to him?

The Lester-Nick exchanges are spot on! This is my favourite line

He wasn't paid nearly enough to attempt counselling on one Professor Nicholas Cutter.

That is totally something Lester would think :)

Thanks, glad you thought the Nick-Lester exchanges worked and that line (I think its my favourite line as well).
