"Poor old sod's not happy." Doyle's tone blended sympathy and glee as he watched Cowley scurrying through the driving rain across the car park, huddled into his raincoat. "Right misery all week."

"Shows he's one of the just," Bodie responded.

"Eh?"

"You know, Ogden Nash:
The rain it raineth on the just
And also on the unjust fella;
But chiefly on the just, because
The unjust hath the just’s umbrella."

"Charles Bowen," Murphy corrected.

"You could be right." Bodie retrieved the purloined umbrella hidden behind the sofa. "Come on, Ray. We the unjust need to get our happy weekend started!"

Oh, that's great. You really made me laugh. And I'm sure the unjusts had a nice and dry weekend. :-)

I love the idea of them nicking Cowley's umbrella. Okay, of Bodie nicking Cowley's umbrella... *vbg* Thank you!

Loved this! It brought to mind the screen-cap in 'Blind Run' with them staring out the window smiling.

LOL, Cowley's gonna know, Bodie. He is, after all, Cowley.

Very well done, thanks! (Especially because it's gotten hot here. :P)
