Why this must be read:
One of Loz's greatest gifts, in my opinion, is her dialogue. Specifically that between Nicholas and Danny, who bicker, support, and adore each other in equal measure in this story, all of which comes alive in their many, many conversations. The reader gets to know these characters simply through what they say to each other, and that makes a story feel real to me. In many ways, this could be seen as a fannish sequel to the movie - with a shoulder rub. Nicholas and Danny are allowed to be equals in this story, with each partner bringing his distinct personality to the action. Another thing I adore: Loz allows her Danny to be a crafty, ingenious bastard. Which he is, when you let yourself think about it.
“Your Dad’s escaped from gaol.”
Danny seemed to turn in on himself. His face became tight and his cheeks hollowed. He shrugged his shoulders in exaggeration, a few terse moments of silence clouding the once-warm atmosphere of the pub. When he looked Angel in the eye his expression was resolute.
“We better go after him, then.”
“That’s not the world’s best idea.”
“It’s not the worst.”
“Actually…”
Danny shook his head. “Actually, nothing, Nick.”
Angel lifted his glass to his lips, gripping tightly so it wouldn’t slip. “I don’t want you making any rash decisions. The thing is… well, he’s already been in contact, apparently.”
Danny’s expression was a direct contrast to his usual joviality. “When were you gonna tell me?”
“I only just found out myself.”
“Ain’t that lovely.”
“I really think we should let the proper authorities deal with this one.”
“We are the proper authorities. At what point did policemen stop being proper authorities?”
“Police officers are, but not when they’re personally involved, Danny, and…”
Danny gritted his teeth, looking uncharacteristically fierce and menacing. “If you don’t wanna deal with it, fine. Let me go alone.”
“I can’t do that.”
“Why not? Don’t you trust me, is that it? Think I’ll stuff it up?”
“I trust you with my life. We’re partners. That’s why I can’t let you go alone. Where you go, I go.”
“Then, let’s.”
“Let’s what?”
“Let’s go.”
Angel finished the rest of his drink, noting that Danny hadn’t even had a sip of his beer. “Now?”
“No time like the right time to rock this shit.”
