Why this must be read: Sam and Gene are absent from work and no one can get hold of them so Chris goes round to their homes to have a look for them. What will he find when he tracks them down? *g*. This is a lovely, light hearted story that is told from Chris’ perspective and Faws captures Chris’ character wonderfully. This fic is funny, with lots of innuendo, sweet and romantic, clever, and vivid in the picture it paints. Fantastic and guaranteed to put a smile on your face.

Excerpt

First stop, the Boss’s flat.

It’s the nearest, and the prospect of rousing an overslept Boss is somewhat more appealing than the alternative.

Chris knocks, tentatively at first but then more forcefully. Tries calling, shouting, even resorts to ‘Police! Open up!’ but to no avail. He’s been here when the Guv has shouldered the door down in one easy manoeuvre, but Chris only finds himself bounced back and sitting on the floor against the opposite wall. He doesn’t try again.

Next stop, the Guv’s house.

The Cortina’s outside which is a good sign. Probably. Possibly.
