Oh, you know I'm looking forward to this so much!!!! *bg*
I don't think I'll tag anyone, but here's a 7-7-7 of something that's sitting on my hard drive ...
Bodie took his arm the last few meters to the transport point and keyed in what was clearly a priority request, as a two-person vehicle was delivered only minutes later. Doyle let exhaustion take him as Bodie input his details, only wondering slightly at his preference for controlling the vehicle himself rather than letting it run on automatic as most people did. Bodie clearly preferred higher speeds to those permitted by the standard automatic controls, and Doyle noted absently as he drifted off that he must have the necessary clearance to override them … yes, he thought, CI5 has all sorts of privileges …
And somewhere else on the hard drive: But this time luck had not been on their side. This time they'd been a shade too overconfident, perhaps, counting on their ability to talk down or intimidate the three nondescript, incongruously white-coated figures they'd found after eventually tracking the purchase and supply of certain chemicals to an entirely unofficial but rather well-equipped laboratory. One of whom was currently holding a gun jammed hard against Ray's spine at chest-height, with trembling hands.
He willed Bodie to move, to take out the sole gunman and disable the other two. He'd be dead before he knew it, but at least Bodie could … but he knew Bodie wouldn't.
