Review:
Chris Keller breaks out of prison, and he and Toby run away to Las Vegas. It isn't long before the law is on their tales, and Toby has to decide between his lover and his life.

I really love the strange, twisted 'Bonnie-and-Clyde meets Thelma-and-Louise' dynamic that Keller and Beecher take on in this fic, and while the ending is definitely not happy, there's hope in the future for them. I adore the way [livejournal.com profile] mandysbitch portrays their relationship, insular and frightening in it's intensity. Prison has changed these men, and you can clearly see it in the story. There are some wonderful OCs in here too, interesting and believable. All in all, I think this one of the best Oz fics I've come across yet.
