Drabble - Hide & Seek
Jul. 13th, 2008 10:36 amA little something spurred along by the immensely talented

Hide & Seek
"Bodie, where the fuck are you?"
Doyle scanned Amberley's spacious grounds.
"Come on, mate. Where're you hiding?"
Agents and coppers buzzed about the place like vengeful bees, hustling villains into custody. Doyle ignored them. He had a different mission.
He searched the orchard, the hedgerows, followed an ancient stone wall as if it were the road to El Dorado.
Yet he sought a very different treasure.
Then he spied a hand framed in the gazebo doorway.
"Bodie!"
And discovered his partner bloodied, but breathing. A small mercy.
"Thought I'd lost you, mate."
"Nah," Bodie whispered, smiling. "Found is more like."
