The Advent Drabbles - 8th December

The Advent Drabbles
8th December

The call came late in the day, as the sun set into grey sludge on the horizon, rain on the way.

"Raymond Duncan shouldn't have come here. Raymond Doyle is a copper.

Want him back alive?"

They'd keep him alive, Bodie knew, for a while anyway. It was good to have something to bargain with, safer to have proof that the trade-off would be worthwhile.

There were a thousand ways for a man to be kept alive, and wish he wasn't.

They waited by the phone for instructions, for the next move, for a clue.

He waited.

Waited for comfort.

Lol!

Poor Bodie! He needs Doyle now!

Thanks, BSL.

[byslantedlight.livejournal.com]

He always needs Doyle... *g*

[cornishcat.livejournal.com]

Poor Doyle! He needs Bodie now!!

Don't torment the lads, it's nearly Christmas.*g*

(Oh, I know there'll be a happy ending ... well they are in your very capable hands, aren't they?)

[byslantedlight.livejournal.com]

But tormented lads = comforted lads, you know, and that's always good, right? *g*

Doyle always needs Bodie.... *g*

[heliophile-oxon.livejournal.com]

aaaaagh! You won't hurt him very much, will you? Poor Bodie...

(damn, almost forgot to change gear! *g*)

[byslantedlight.livejournal.com]

We-ell... *g* You can probably take comfort in the fact that 100 words doesn't give much leeway for hurting very much... *g*

[heliophile-oxon.livejournal.com]

Certain skillful people have been known to do a lot with a few words!

[byslantedlight.livejournal.com]

Heeee! See, now all I want to do is hurt Doyle... eep! (Stoopid work...)

[heliophile-oxon.livejournal.com]

Just as long as you don't incur Bodie's anger yourself! You wouldn't like him when he's angry... *bg*

Looking forward to more!

[byslantedlight.livejournal.com]

Oh sweetie, he's not a real boy... is having that icon confusing you? *g*

[greengerbil.livejournal.com]

Oh no! Poor Doyle!

Please don't keep Bodie (and us) in suspense for too long!

And - hmm... what is the significance fo the Macklin photo, I wonder??

[byslantedlight.livejournal.com]

Lol - just until the 9th, I suspect... *g*

And hmmn! (Although you've got to remember that the CI5 Advent Calenderist put up the calendar without knowing what was going to happen in the future... *g*)

There were a thousand ways for a man to be kept alive, and wish he wasn't. oh cripes ....

[byslantedlight.livejournal.com]

I know! Cripes-y O'Reilly...

[constant-muse.livejournal.com]

Macklin looks pretty handy there - and CI5 will be throwing everything into getting Doyle back. eep!

[byslantedlight.livejournal.com]

Hee - such faith in CI5! What if a bigger operation crops up, more important than the life of a single agent... which way would Cowley go... now there's a fic... (but probably not this one, not in 100 words at a time! *g*)

[siskiou.livejournal.com]

This advent is not going too well for Doyle and Bodie!
I hope Bodie's imagination is just running amok, and Doyle will be coming out of this reasonably unscathed!
And look at Macklin all ready to help out!

[byslantedlight.livejournal.com]

Hee - Macklin is looking pretty handy there, isn't he!

[msmoat.livejournal.com]

See, Macklin before he lost his nerve... I do hope it's not foreshadowing!

[byslantedlight.livejournal.com]

Oooh, well-remembered... though I'm not sure when that pic was taken, his hair is looking quite Mixed Doubles actually! *g*

[snailbones.livejournal.com]

Yikes!

[byslantedlight.livejournal.com]

I know! *g*
