Why this must be read:
This is a rare crossover, which held an special place in my heart, because it's Homicide: Life on the Streets' Tim Bayliss, and I love both him, and the show :)
And what we have here? What we have is an older Bodie, who's working alone in a special mission in Baltimore. Doyle has left CI5, and Bodie is feeling sad and gloomy. It's Christmas Eve, he's alone and far from home.
Maybe because of this, he starts talking with the bar's owner, and then... well, you'll have to read the story to know what happens then *g*
But I let you have a little taste here:
There was nothing except CI5 left for him in England, but it was home. And he'd always considered himself English to his soul. "No. Or none that I've seen for years. What about you?"
"Oh, I have family and friends here. I'm from Baltimore."
The lone man at the end of the bar left, and the bartender went to clean up after him, putting the cash he'd left into the till. Coming back, he smiled at Bodie.
"If you have family, why aren't you with them?" Bodie asked, continuing the conversation.
The wide shoulders went up in a shrug. "It's complicated…excuse me again." He took the check from the couple who had been in the corner. "You're not driving, are you?"
The man shook his head. "No, we're staying around the corner." The couple wobbled out. Bodie wondered if they'd make it back to their hotel without falling.
Looking around, Bodie saw they were alone in the place. For some reason he didn't want to examine too closely, he was captivated. "Tell me about the complications. I've got nothing but time."
The barman laughed. The wonderful musical sound went skating along Bodie's spine. "I thought I was the one people told their secrets to."
"I've heard that, too, but why not tell me a few?"
A hint of suspicion lit the brown eyes. "Why would you want to know?"
So, he wasn't quite the eager young puppy he appeared to be. More to the good. Bodie fancied some bite in people he got involved with. Not that he planned anything of the sort, but it was still nice to know the man wasn't a pushover.
Bodie shrugged casually, but he was curious. "Why not? You're here, I'm here."
