   Summary

   It wasn’t supposed to end like this. When Cisco brought Hartley outside of the pipeline, he had been fine. Skittish and irascible, sure, but fine. If the man hadn’t thrown that first punch, or made to run for the fence surrounding STAR Labs, none of this would have happened.... and Cisco wouldn’t have made such a terrible mistake.
