And here's a little something I just threw together. :-)

Day is scarier than night. By day there's no avoiding seeing everything there is to see. Cowley's frustration, Bodie's scowl, the way that his own hand shakes infinitesimally before the action, as well as after. By day, one day, he might have to see someone hurt because he's getting too fucking old for this. And him not forty yet.

One night, keeping company in the dark, Bodie states, "Time we packed this in."

"That obvious, is it?" There's no hiding the relief in his voice.

"Always did need me to point out the obvious." He's a smug bastard, sometimes, Bodie.
