You know I'm hanging on your every word, right? Really, you've got me hook, line, and sinker for this story. I love it.
The best part (aside from the last line, which I want to roll up with in a blanket and snuggle) is this: ... he thought that if he let the meaning in Konrad's words fade and just focused on his voice—on the way he spoke and the way he moved while he spoke—if he didn't already know better, he might have had difficulty distinguishing this man from his partner at all. I'm having a hard time articulating to myself why I love that part so much, or why I'm adoring the idea that it's Konrad he falls in love with instead of Kev, but there it is. Maybe it's because the story has revealed so much of Konrad to me, and I know so little of Kevin (given that I haven't watched Castle).
I'm a little surprised that Kate didn't try to mine for information (where are you now? where are you heading? what are you going to do? what kind of help do you need? how long will you be? what should I do about your work schedule? have you told Jenny? etc.) The sort of things cops are supposed to do when there's a hostage situation. But this isn't any ordinary hostage situation. She knows Konrad used to be a cop so he knows the drill, so maybe she just didn't bother. Also, maybe she's tracking them through Javier's phone and didn't want to say anything at all that might awake Konrad's suspicions.
Amusing that Mohinder might not appreciate Bennet trying to drag Molly into locating someone like Konrad. Who knows what powers Konrad might have to strike at her? Aside from the possibility that he can't be found at all, given the Ghost's ability.
