Starsky & Hutch
Starsky & Hutch

In Sweet Revenge it was Huggy who went with Hutch to find the person behind Starsky's shooting. In this little snippet I let Hutch go out there alone.

Mission: Sweet Revenge

(Sweet Revenge – scene takes place at the hospital)

Hutch had his face turned away, he felt too embarrassed to show his weakness to others. Only his best friend had seen him cry before. And now that best friend was lying in a hospital bed, barely alive. Nothing like this had ever happened before. Death had never been this close. How could you be prepared for something like that?

All the walls he had build around his heart to protect himself, came tumbling down when he saw his partner's unmoving body lying on the pavement. The world had suddenly stopped turning.

Hutch tried very hard to control himself. Starsky wouldn't die on him now. He couldn't! Starsky meant more to him than his own life.

What the hell with what others would say. Hutch didn't have anymore strength left to fight the tears that were streaming down his face now. He slipped into his own world of grief and anger, where he felt every emotion tearing him apart. His knees refused to carry him any longer and he sunk to the floor. He wasn't aware of Dobey and Huggy helping him to one of the chairs. He wasn't aware of anything but his own pain.

It seemed like an eternity had passed before he lifted his head. His face looked pale, but the pain in his eyes was replaced by something else.

He stood up from the chair and paid no attention to the people around him. Why would he? He had a goal. There was something that needed to be done, for Starsky and for himself. If he ever wanted to have peace of mind again then he needed to do it now. No one was going to stop him, not even Captain Dobey or Huggy Bear.

"I'll be back, Starsk..I've got a job to do, but I'll be back! Don't you go anywhere now." Hutch whispered while he walked to the exit and stepped outside.

Detective Ken Hutchinson was now a man on a mission.

The end.
