Drabble Challenge: Adrift

Whilst mulling over byslantedlight's prompt, managed one of moth2fic's: jetsam.

Adrift

Bodie stands in the centre of Doyle's flat, the one still point as Malone's boys prowl around, looking for evidence, for some indication of who put two bullets into Ray Doyle.

For the moment he isn't thinking about vengeance or justice or even proper investigatory procedure. He's simply looking at Ray's possessions--the tin soldiers and terrarium, the stereo and the plant stand--and thinking about what will happen to them if the unimaginable happens and Ray doesn't pull through. Thinking about what all this will become, mere jetsam to be cast off, without the man who gives it meaning.

First of all, let me just say FLAT! I meant to say flat! (I blame just getting over the flu.)

And second, glad the drabble worked for you. 'Cause that scene just rips me up every time.
