Drabble - Hide & Seek

[ancastar.livejournal.com]

A little something spurred along by the immensely talented callistosh65. It's a Sunday morning drabble--100 words, starring the lads.

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."

There is always that little kick in the stomach reading about a hurt and bleeding Bodie...
- and a Doyle who cares...

Thanks! :-)
