Why this must be read: In "The Gathering," Connor MacLeod fought Slan Quince; Slan sent him over a bridge into the river. Duncan fought Slan later; Duncan took his head. Richie Ryan saw both fights, and saw Duncan bring Connor up out of the river later. With all that, how in the hell did Duncan MacLeod get a street-rat to come stay with him? Ali decided to write it and see.
I love Duncan and Tessa in this, and Richie's street punk paranoia, but what I really love is watching the MacLeods make sure matters go the way they want. "Be prepared?" Yeah, you could say that.
Three hours later, having pulled off a successful pickpocket of some people waiting for a commuter bus, Richie was sitting in the McDonald's on Third Street and hungrily devouring a burger and fries when someone slid into the booth across from him. Richie looked up from his meal and saw the slender, sandy brown-haired man dressed in a tan trench coat. His eyes widened.
"You," Richie hissed, "you're a walking corpse."
"Heh." The man smiled briefly. "And you, my friend, are a lousy pickpocket. You took too long."
"What, you were standing there with a stopwatch?"
