This is beautifully put together and a fascinating and realistic insight into what could happen post-CI5.
Thank you! I'm glad you thought the story was realistic.
And not evil, because the Lads are still fine (probably better off than they would have been hanging on in CI5 till one of them got a career-ending injury or killed on the job).
Good point. Murphy will get to survive longer in the civil service too.
The Fascist Pigs line was a total winner.
It was what convinced me to do this challenge. :-)
If ever there was a moment where the angst could have really kicked in, that was it. But Bodie, being Bodie, defuses it perfectly. Lovely. :D
Yep, Bodie kept Doyle's angst at reasonable levels. Maybe that's why I like him! Thanks for letting me know that part worked for you.
