Pinky Promises - Chapter 9
Even when Becker had woken up and finally been able to provide the names of his attackers, Fern and Connor had stayed put. Jess had raised her concerns about them knowing where Connor lived and that she wouldn’t be happy sending them home just yet.

Connor arrived at the carpark, lagging way behind the blip he was following. He’d managed to reconfigure one of the old hand-held anomaly detectors he’d found in one of his boxes to track his device on the vehicle.

Pinky Promises - Chapter 4
It had taken them three months, but they found a place in the end. Becker had been supportive and offered a few pats on the shoulder as they walked around and tackled the bramble-covered path that led to the static caravan during a viewing. It was hidden under a canopy of trees that had been free to grow as they wanted without having lorries scrape ( Read more... ) -
Pinky Promises - Chapter 3
Becker’s hand reached across the back of Connor’s chair as he leaned back in his own, balancing on the back legs with his feet in the air trying to steady his weight so that he didn’t fall backwards or slam forwards. Connor’s elbows were on the table, fingers picking at loose skin around the nail of his thumb ( Read more... ) -
Pinky Promises - Chapter 2
He had never seen someone so good at handling weapons just as good with kids. Then again, it was almost the same thing. You had to treat the two with respect in fear of hurting someone and they were both so very capable of causing damage. Almost irreparable suffering. Connor knew that. Only, one of them was capable of fixing broken things, ( Read more... ) -
