Code of honour
Waking from unconsciousness was always some kind of hurting. It felt like you`re being torn out of nowhere. . He heard voices. They sounded far away. He tried to open his eyes, but they were as heavy as stones. A feeling of panic rushed him. Stay cool, you know this situation well, this isn`t the first time. ...He tried to concentrate on breathing calmly.
Then he felt the hurting of his body. His head was hammering and breathing was difficult.
The voices were getting clearer, so he tried to open his eyes again.
Now it was easier. But only the right eye was willing to open. The left felt swollen and bruised. He saw everything through dust and the room was dancing. He tried to focus on a sign on the wall. Slowly it became clearer.
V.I.P. lounge
Suddenly he remembered what had happened... He heard Cowley speaking angrily." You damned fool. Losing your temper only because your heard the truth. yes... Anne betrayed you, Bodie wanted to protect you before you got in too deep.. And you beat him up... How long have you been partners?... Nearly 3 years. And you still don`t know him and his own code of honour... NEVER DO ANY HARM TO YOUR PARTNER, PROTECT HIM. So he did , he didn`t fight back ".
Bodie closed his uninjured eye. Yes , Cowley knew . He had never said a word about his own code of honour but his chief knew...
He blinked again and suddenly saw a curly mop and watery green eyes, " I´m sorry sunshine"
A hand came close to his cheek but never touched.
" Don`t be mate" was his soft whisper and he slipped again into unconsciousness...
