How had he come to be guarding his partner? Doyle's ID confiscated, security going through his flat, Cowley beyond fury.

"Fucking security risk to end all risks, you... "

"Say it, Bodie! I can hear it whether you say it or not!"

"Doesn't need saying then, does it? My partner, caught trousers down - literally, Doyle, literally - mid-case, and not even with the bloody bird."

Silence, a silence to end trust, hope and partnership.

"Bodie. Which one you jealous of?"

"What?"

"Which one? This matters, Bodie. Of him? Or me?"

Silence. A silence to begin trust. Hope. And partnership.

Oh man. I had to read this three times. I thought it was Cowley caught with Doyle! *bg* I thought it was Cowley speaking to Bodie and when he said "or me" I had a momentary second there of disbelief.

That's well done. I can imagine Bodie's anger.

I love to write drabbles, but yours is exactly why I don't like to read them. *g* There's so much here and yet so much left open. I need to know the why, how, who, of this one. Please don't leave us hanging! :-)

A watershed moment for sure.

That's a gutsy little drabble. You've covered a lot... but left us hanging with so much unsaid. Phew!

Yowzer! Definitely a nicely angsty story that needs to be told further.

Oh yikes, I can promise you that Cowley and Doyle was not at all on my mind! I'll have to see if I can make that clearer. But I'm glad you thought it was worth re-reading to check!

Yes, I had in mind a Bodie both baffled and furious.

(Sorry for the delay in replying - I fell off the net halfway through the drabble challenge and have just struggled back.)

Laugh. Your version of what is left hanging may be better than my version. But I shall see what I can do. Thanks for reading.

Definitely - I can't imagine things hanging in stasis at this point, however long it feels to them. Thanks for reading!

I don't think they're always very good at saying things themselves, but I hope some of it doesn't need saying. Not to us, anyway...

Delighted you think so. Most of my stuff turns out as fluff, but perhaps this one can grow!

(And, as I said in the first reply - sorry for the delay - my internet ran away, but I have stapled it down now.)
