The Professionals Drabble: Pack

Drabble Fest 7/12 – for elle_dritch. Fandom and pairing/characters as requested.


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.

\♥/! Drabble of my HEARTOMG.

Doyle knew this from nature documentaries he’d never admit to watching.

Sometimes Bodie says casually, "Let's go to the zoo," and Doyle bitches that it's for kids, but secretly he really enjoys it, especially when Bodie buys him an ice-cream and they spend a very enjoyable half an hour comparing Macklin point for point with the red-arsed baboons.

In conclusion, you are my FAVOURITE AND BEST.

That's a nice image, and a good variation on the mobile ghetto theme. :-) Plus I am a fan of the drabble form.

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!

Yes, I can see them quite well as a pair of lone wolves, hunting together. Nice one:-)

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!

I do like the idea of the pair of them being a pack. They rely on each other so much and are lost without the other.

I also have this image in my head now of Doyle watching nature documentaries. I bet Bodie knows but he'd never mention it to anybody.

Yep the comparison works wonderfully and like other commenters I think this fits Bodie and Doyle really well. Thank you for sharing these.
