Help! I can't stop!
This one is a companion to Journey and Switching Drivers. It also stands alone, I think!
I really do expect this will be my last for awhile, though. EH just walked in and she says she's taking away my computer privileges, for my own good.
Alternate Route
Cowley’s narked, and Bodie knows it’s not fair. It isn’t as if he crippled the git. Broken fingers heal up easily, and if he can’t handle the mats then what the hell will he do on the streets? Bodie doesn’t want a partner who folds when things get tense.
“Meet your new partner,” Cowley says. It’s a warning.
Bodie turns. Skinny bloke, still in his copper’s uniform, hat under his arm. Cowley’s barmy if he thinks...
Then the copper smiles and Bodie has to remind himself that he can’t - he won’t - he simply doesn’t want a partner.
Nice smile, though.
~end~
