Why this must be read:

Warning: partner hurt.

I came across this as a recent addition to the Circuit Archive. I have a thing for fics that look at the dark side of being a CI5 agent, the possible cost, what happens if things go wrong. This one works for me because the author does a great job of portraying how Bodie & Doyle struggle to use both their training and gut instincts to escape their situation, not entirely successfully.

“Spots still danced in his eyes. He stuck a conspiratorial grin on, and thought of childhood, and looked as useless and harmless and pointless as he possibly could.”

Bad Luck

I've left the old link in place in case the domain is returned.

Great read! I love partner betrayal (that isn't). Great inner monologues that really let us see their way of thinking.
