[ Honestly John doesn't give a shit what happens to himself. Harold is all that matters. What circumstances would bring him away from Harold's side? What would have happened to make Harold disappear? That's the thing: Harold is good at disappearing. He's done it before, who's to say he didn't do it again? But why? Why would he do such a thing?
John has to believe that if Shaw hasn't heard from either of them, it either means he died for Harold or Harold has asked for his silence. He can see the scene, suddenly; their final stand, him being unable to protect Harold, doing everything with his final breath to try to keep Harold safe. It's an ugly thought and he can't help but hunch his shoulders a bit, as if warding off the February chill. ]

Thanks, Shaw.
