Why this must be read: Babysitting Tommy is one of the Pros fics that makes me smile out loud every time I read it, and cheers me up properly! Rebelcat wrote some fun Pros, with a deft hand, and this is probably my favourite of hers. I'm not normally a big fan of Pros stories that include kids as major characters, and this should be a bad idea - what's that old adage about working with children? - but in Rebelcat's hands it comes off beautifully. Less so for Bodie and Doyle, mind you... *g*
Excerpt: “Blood-thirsty little tyke isn’t he?” said Bodie, sourly. “Comes from a long line of villains, no doubt.”
That seemed a bit harsh to Doyle, considering that the boy was only six. And they really didn’t know anything about him, other than that they were to pick him up and put him on a plane. They’d have to make peace with the kid, if they were going to be spending the next hour, possibly longer, together. God, please let it not be longer. Please let that plane be on time.
Doyle plastered a conciliatory smile on his face. “Tommy, do you know what your dad does for a living?” Cowley hadn’t seen fit to explain exactly what Peter Winter’s importance was to the security of the nation, but maybe the boy could provide some useful information.
The boy’s reply was immediate. “He fills an innernational economic nish, providin’ the private citizen with the means to resist fishist dictators - like you!”
Babysitting Tommy
Sorry for the huge gap between recs - I was going to be so good this month, and then of all things I ended up off work poorly again... Hope the mods won't mind if I try to catch up a wee bit (it's still last week until the day after tomorrow, right...? *g*)
