There was a collection box on the main desk inside the Seamen's Mission. Bodie fed loose change into the slot, coins chinking coldly against the bottom of the tin.

"Take more than spare coin to replace this door," Doyle observed. They'd made a right mess of things, chasing after Gunderson.

“Cowley will indent for it, but the personal touch never hurts." In this newly minted partnership Doyle was the sentimental one, never Bodie.

The remains of the shattered glass panel littered the floor. One Flying Angel in need of new wings. One CI5 agent touching his past – gone, not forgotten.

ETA: I exchanged 'not' and'never' because I thought the emphasis was better. Also I can't help fiddling *g*

I like the way Bodie is trying to make amends here, spiritually too. Nice one.

ooh, memories for me too - I remember the Flying Angel club in Fremantle, when I was small, my parents trying to explain what it was there for.

Very atmospheric, 'coins chinking coldly' makes me shiver. Thank you!

This is beautifully done. Gave me goose bumps. Thank you.

Nicely done. Love the imagery in the last line.

Nice turnabout there! And nice to see Bodie's well hidden soft side.

The lads still able to surprise each other with seemingly atypical behaviour. I enjoyed this, thanks.

So much said in so few words! A lovely piece of writing.

I love how a seemingly mundane moment reaches back into the past. And the "minting" of their partnership is a great word choice for this piece.

I was saving this one... and worth it too, twas lovely! I love Bodie touching his past like that... (but d'you know I've never heard of the Flying Angel, even though I've come across seaman's missions before - how odd... so thank you for that too!)
