Characters: Billy Cooper
Rating: PG
Summary: Coop's first case after Don.
Spoilers: Man Hunt
Note: This drabble was written for the word prompt New York and the character of the month: Billy Cooper.
Coop had long since lost track of the number of times he'd cursed Eppes today, but he did it again for good measure. Not only had he abandoned him, but he'd had to do it just before this case!
With a supreme effort, Billy managed to smile at his new partner as the queue moved forwards. He hated the orchestra and he hated the theatre so he was bound to hate this performance. Unfortunately their fugitive loved both and there was no way he'd miss this show, not while in New York.
"Oh quit being such an uncultured lout," Thompson hissed as she adjusted his tie. "This is a world renowned company, you should be grateful for the opportunity."
She wasn't going to last, not in Fugitive Recovery. Coop had known that right away, not with her attitude and obsessive cleanliness. Fugitive Recovery was dirty work with long hours in the car and in filthy motels. He could just imagine her shock if she'd seen the last place he and Don had stayed.
Almost unconsciously, Billy's hand reached up to loosen his tie. He glared at Thompson as she moved to adjust it.
He really was going to kill Eppes!
I don't have much to say for this one, other than the fact that
I seem to enjoy putting poor Billy into a suit.
