A warning: You might read this after the fic. Slight spoilers.

SPOILER SPACE!

Many thanks to Stacy (comicastaway on livejournal) and Ghostninja, for their betas. They were big helps. Anything still less-than-grand is mine. ;)

Some notes: This story is rated PG-13 (or higher, maybe) for Scary Stuff. It’s a psychological horror. Go fig. Also, most of those little facts Tim keeps coming up with are real. (The one about the phones in the kitchens I made up, and I wasn’t sure about the time frame dealing with recovering a kidnapped person, so the ‘five days’ thing is my guess. I know it’s close to right… Everything else I actually researched. Even about handcuffs.)

To Mac. Because she kept asking. ;)

For everything else I mentioned, you'll have to find it the same way I did. Lots of googling and checking sources.

Why yes, I did put way too much thought into this.
