I think I shoulde phrase the part about Doyle giving comfort to the dying man in other words. I think it is (like you said) more normal for Doyle to give comfort than for Bodie. But it doesn't fit into the super-hero-image the author is creating here for Bodie. Because if he were such a super-hero it should be no problem for him to react in such a way and not in nearly pulling his gun.
We seem to get Doyle's pov when he's feeling weak, and Bodie's pov when he's feeling strong, and it makes me feel as if it's more unbalanced than sometimes it is, I think... Well, I always thought that it could be me not beeing a native speaker that made it difficult for me with the changes in the pov, so I tried to ignore it. But I think you're right, that might be my main problem too.
Hmmn - Firlefanzine said that too, but I didn't actually have a problem with the end of the chapter like that... It's perhaps the one moment when he isn't swooning! *g* I just don't think that he would walk away like a girl seeking for the knight in shining armor only because he hears a voice he remembers. For me he is to much a professional and he knows there is more to do. He isn't swooning, but he doesn't react like the Doyle I know from the eps. The Doyle from the eps would do his job and after all he could do is done would go to the church to look if the priest is really Gabe.
