The Professionals Drabble: Pack

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.

Wonderful. 'A pack of two' reminds me of Bodie and Doyle the 'mobile ghetto'.

CI5 as a pack of wolves I like a lot. In 'Mixed Doubles', in the scene where both pairs are in the same pub leering at the same barmaid over the bar, I always think 'wolfish', especially Doyle.

Loved your two 'older' drabbles, too. If you hadn't posted to The Safehouse I'd never have seen them, so thank you!

Again I must confess to my complete lack of knowledge of ghetting that reference... Told you I haven't seen that many episodes, and certainly not in any systematic, chronological manner.

But thank you so much for reading and leaving feedback. This is one of those fandoms where I don't think I could pull of a longer fic at all, but drabbles are doable.
