I told golden_bastet that I would likely not write a fic for this challenge, but it seems that I have. And here it is.

George Cowley's past and present meet on New Year's Eve.

Black Bun, White Paper

We are working late tonight, my top agents and I. I know they are disappointed that they'll not be kissing their current young ladies at midnight. I would have spared them that pleasure if I could, though I doubt they'd believe it at the moment. It couldn't be helped, however. This case had to be wrapped up, whatever prior commitments there might be.

The Christmas Presents - Part 3
a Picture Story by macklingirl

Late in the afternoon of 30 December, they brought Ngiora Mbsama safely to the airport. When the plane had taken off safely, they walked leisurely back to the car.

"Where to now, Ray?" Bodie wanted to know.

"Let's go to the nearest pub first, I need a whisky and a pint. And then home."

"Okay, I know a nice little pub with a nice barmaid and a very tasty whisky." Bodie opened the driver's door. "Let's move."

Five minutes later they arrived at the pub and were lucky that it wasn't too full. There was only a young couple in a corner and the barmaid behind the bar. Bodie went and got two pints a pack of crisps.

"Look Ray, which whisky do you want?"

Twenty minutes later they arrived at the studio. Bodie put a blindfold on Doyle and led him to the streetlights. "I don't want you to see to early what it is, love."



"Okay, Bodie. I trust you and hope it isn't a dungeon." Ray said a little uncertain.

( What's next )

"Okay, Bodie, let's get some pizza and salat and then we go home. And after we've eaten you'll get your present."

They drove to the Italien place Bodie loved so much and ordered pizza and salat as take away.

( Home again )

Listening to the music they relaxed on the sofa, some snacks, beer and whisky on the table.



"It was a wonderful Christmas, wasn't it, Bodie?" Ray asked.

"Yes, love. With you, it is always a wonderful Christmas." Bodie answered and kissed him once more.
