ROFL Griff! Puck will grow on you. Wait and watch it happen! I love your idea for how Puck comes to realize who Connor really is.
Maybe Reese knocks into Riley at some point while they're waiting to board the plane, accidentally on purpose, to get a closer look and confirm it's the target? That can be when Riley steals the credit card, though he'll get a hard knock for that once Reese finds it on him. :/ Bounty hunters don't play nice with their targets. Reese will do what it takes to keep Riley alive while he still believes they're getting off the island, but he's a pretty rough around the edges kind of guy. If the kid keeps squawking, he's going to find something to tape his mouth shut with!
Ideally, I'd like the character who loudly takes issue with Reese's treatment of Riley to be written by another player. I like to share the love and the drama and the story about as much as I can! So maybe we can table that idea for now, and if we don't find someone to take action over what Reese is doing we can come back to it? I think Jinx is interested in having her ex-cop pick Riley's handcuffs and things like that, which would be a fun opportunity for them to thwart Reese and play run around the island a little bit with him!
