Pinky stood on the end of the dock, her hair blowing in the gentle wind. Copper said, "I thought you were going back out tomorrow?"
She shrugged, "I was, but I reckon things are going to be pretty hectic over there today now that we've got Joan in custody. We're making our bust tomorrow, just in case they get any ideas about taking off."
"I wish you would stay. It's not safe."
She grinned, "Don't worry about me, you've got enough to worry about yourself."
He nodded, "Yeah, I guess. But I want you to promise me you'll be careful."
"I will," she said, looking out towards the tiny speck in the distance. It was Cap'N, another agent working udnercover as one of Gulliver's cronies.
"Hey, Pinky?"
"Yeah?"
He paused. And then he smiled, "Does this ending feel a bit rushed to you?"
She thought for a minute, and then grinned, "Whatever. We've got bigger fish to fry."
They hugged then, stiffly, and he was still there when Cap'N arrived in his tiny craft. He stayed on the dock until she was completely out of sight, and then he sighed.
