Doyle could read it in the set of Bodie’s shoulders, that he was about to jump off that cliff Cowley had mentioned, but it was too late to stop him.
“Yes Sir. In that case, Sir.” Bodie snapped to attention. “Because 4.5 in evening wear inspires only two impulses in me… and I can’t write a sonnet. The Embassy ball. I actually thought that you might suspend us.” Bodie looked at Doyle. “I think I missed one.”
“The first one. How?”
“Thanks mate. Well, it’s like this Sir, when one CI5 agent likes another CI5 agent very, very much—”
“Enough Bodie.”
“Yes Sir.”
Cowley swung the full force of his attention to Doyle.
“So these photos were taken after the Embassy ball, 4.5?”
“No sir.”
“But Bodie said—”
“At the Embassy ball, Sir.” Doyle handed the photos to Bodie.
“In the broom cupboard, to be exact, Sir.”
“I told you to be quiet 3.7. So who took these photos, 4.5?”
“No idea Sir.”
“If you hope to salvage your careers, I suggest you find out fast.”
“Well we’ve got one clue at least Ray.” Bodie glanced again at the photos. “He’s a very talented photographer. Really captured your best side.”
“That’s not my face, Bodie.”

Date: 2008-05-03 02:41 pm (UTC)I read that and thought crikey, did my wine addled typing fingers slip? But no, it does say evening wear. *relief* Although Schnuffi put Bodie in a tutu so all bets are off.
I just thought if we had incriminating photos and the lads were suspended in round 2, we weren't going to get very far if Cowley wasn't more interested in the threat of the photographs than by Bodie and Doyle's relationship. *g*

RR are a lot of fun and an opportunity to run with those odd snippets stored in your brain that won't really work anywhere else.

some gropinga little tender moment between the lads.no subject

Can you imagine how dangerous I'd be if I could only learn to generate even the slightest bit of enthusiasm about something... *whistles*
And Mikey... wanna play? First time's on the house! *eg*

Sometimes, when it comes to humour, you just have to go with the classics. :D
