Pack – The Professionals – Bodie/Doyle – PG-13
Prompt: Wolves


Someone once told Doyle that CI5 were like feral wolves; uncontrollable, dangerous.

He figured they weren’t wrong, just bloody ignorant. Wolves were smart and loyal, they had hierarchy; an alpha who kept the rest in line. Doyle knew this from nature documentaries he’d never admit to watching.

All in all it was an apt comparison, he thought.

Except... When push came to shove, Doyle knew it wasn’t the CI5 whose lead he’d follow. He glanced briefly over at Bodie, standing right next to him, gun in hand.

Maybe some wolves hunted in pairs. Maybe they were a pack of two.

I like this drabble. The idea of Bodie and Doyle being their own pack is quite true. They do rely on each other, as we've seen Cowley throw the to the wolves. *g* Thanks!

Thank you so much. Yes, the 'pack of two' was where my mind went immediately with a prompt like this, so I'm really glad it made sense to others too.
