Not so much a story as such but more of an inspired observation as I trudged out to work last week! Happy New Year to all fellow writers and reviewers.

Happy New Year. An emergency call-out goes off course. The story continues next month.

(To Walk With Death) Sorry, to get this to rhyme I had to go a little native.

This is the final chapter in 'The Seven Ages of Bodie' story and I'm quite glad as I know it's not the right way to submit them but I've been too scared to try again! That's the trouble when you are old and thick! So my apologies. However, I make no apology for the fact that this chapter might be a bit 'fluffy'. Well, it is Christmas!

As has been said before I don't own the characters, however one of them appears to have owned part of me for 36 years. This is my first story I have ever written. The story touches on more of Bodie's back story, more chapters to follow.

When Bodie is knocked out during a bar fight he wakes up to find Doyle gone. Cowley is strangely unresponsive on his disappearance and Bodie vows to uncover what happened. Is Doyle in danger? Is Cowley involved or is the truth far more insidious than Bodie thinks? Most of all, what happened that night?

Bodie faces a no-win scenario.

Doyle starts to learn some of what has made Bodie the way he is.

Cowley's behaviour causes concern to both Doyle and Bodie. His obsession leads two of them into danger.

Bodie has doubts about his colleagues

I decided to publish this one for this month, as it's a Bodie story.

What the title says. Recent events made me wish to write again.

JUST MY LITTLE TRIBUTE TO LEWIS COLLINS...GREAT ACTOR...HEART THROB...AND ALL ROUND GOOD GUY. YOU WILL BE MISSED.

My last three chapters are dedicated to the memory of Lewis Collins.

Are things going from bad to worse for Doyle?

Are things ever going to get any better for Doyle?

I knew this would happen. I just can't work out how to submit chapters and after 2 hours of trying I've got into a right mess and have given up!

This is hopefully seven chapters charting the early months of Bodie and Doyle's partnership. It was inspired by a reviewers comment to my 'Just Bodie' stoory (you know who you are!) and this first chapter takes up the story from there.

Bodie gets an urgent call and moves fast. Various puzzles and complications follow before all becomes clear.

Set in 1975. Another part of Bodie's back story and a take on how he came to CI5. Links to 'Prison Visit' and 'Reunion'. 'When you get into a tight place and everything goes against you until it seems that you cannot hold on for a minute longer, never give up then, for that is just the place and time when the tide will turn.'

Many thanks to 'Sad Lady' for allowing me to borrow Cora for a while. Cowley orders his team to attend the Remembrance Service parade at the Cenotaph. Not everyone is keen.

Set in 1991. Part of Bodie's back story before CI5 which is hinted at in 'Reunion'.

The morning after the night before for Bodie and a new woman in his life.

What if the love of your life looks tarnished?

A story about what happens in the first week that Bodie and Doyle are partnered and how they overcome their initial differences to become the Cow's best team!
