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.

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!

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