THE MAN FROM U.N.C.L.E./HIGHLANDER: THE SERIES
Title: The Sumerian Codebook Affair by Lokemele (G)
Pairing: none
Length: 27,000 words
Author on LJ: unknown
Author Website: Her stories are posted on File40, The Wonderful World of Makebelieve and Ravens Lair.
Why this must be read:
You are the world's oldest Immortal and you've found a nice comfortable place to live and hide as a Professor. How are you to know that Thrush is going to introduce a new codebook, written in Sumerian of all things? And that U.N.C.L.E. is going to want your help? You are, however, aware that getting caught between the two organizations is going to attract the Watchers' attention. So you need to evade Solo and Kuryakin as well as the THRUSH and get out of the country. Easier said than done.
Even though Kuryakin was annoyed with the man, he was equally impressed with his ability to evade pursuit. He'd been in a position to see him duck out the side door and join the athletes, where his height would be masked. He was working his way closer as he paralleled the group, when they changed direction, leaving Peterson visible. He continued on alone until a shout from behind alerted him he'd been spotted, then sprinted for the safety of a taxi.
The UNCLE agent was faced with a choice, but only for a moment; the THRUSH agents were reaching for weapons. Preserving innocent lives outweighed attempting to stop a fleeing man, especially one who'd done no wrong. He flung himself at the further man, using his legs to bring down his nearer partner. As he rolled on the ground with the THRUSHes, he saw Peterson diving into a taxi and it pulling away.
Fortunately, the spectactular spill drew the attention of nearby students, and the two men could do nothing more than grumble as they regained their feet. Kuryakin used the students as a screen to escape. He located Solo and explained what happened, then the two men alerted Waverly.
