Hallo, it's the last rec I have for this month. If you would like to drive for Starsky & Hutch go here and sign up. It's always a great adventure, trust me :) I really enjoyed the time I spent here and I hope that you liked at least some of the stories I have chosen for you this time.

Why this must be read:

Some stories make you smile, some make you cry and some stories give you hope. This is one of them. Starsky is looking for a birthday gift for Hutch, but nothing is perfect enough to satisfy his expectations. Is there even such thing as a perfect gift? What do you think? :)

"Hi...I'm looking for uh.." Starsky quickly dug the paper out of his pocket, unfolding it to see the name, ".a...Jacob Myers."

"Who sent ya?"

"A guy at the mall. He works at a store that sells games. An old guy."

The man let out a snort. "Mel. You must need something special."

"Yes. A gift."

"For who?"

"A friend."

"Just a friend? Mel wouldn't send ya out here if you were just shopping for a friend."

"He...we're cops...He's my partner."

The screen door opened and Starsky was faced with warm brown eyes set deep in a well lined face.

"Mel wouldn't a sent ya out here if he was just a partner."

Starsky hesitated for just a moment before speaking. "He helped me a lot this year. I was shot. I almost died. I'm back on the force because of him - I just want him to know how much I lo.... I appreciate what he did."

Jacob nodded his understanding. "And you think a gift will do that." He sighed, a tired sound "Alright. Come on in."

Starsky followed him into the dark house.
