A mission into Germany so bizarre even the guys, and girls, don't believe it.

One mission into Italy brings Actor a new truth

This is intended to be a repository for 'short shots' that don't really have a home of their own. Each chapter should stand alone (if it doesn't I'll let you know). Some may be serious, some may be silly…. Like that 'box a chocolates' you never know what you're gonna get. Enjoy, Dale

January 12th is Ron Harper's 86th birthday. In honour of this let's celebrate our favourite U.S Army officer, 926314 Lieutenant Craig Garrison. Garrison is in hospital in the States kicking his heels after being wounded in North Africa, talks with his father set off a chain of events that will change his own and a lot of other peoples' lives irrevocably. Happy Birthday Warden.

For Rudy 21/12/1934. Everyone knows it's Casino's birthday. Casino knows they know, doesn't want any shenanigans like last year and is upset they abide by his request. A matter arises that needs his expert attention at the camp. Will he get his cake and eat it? Only Rudy could play our favourite tough, tenderhearted Italian safecracker. Happy 88th Birthday Babe!

You never know where inspiration comes from or when. Enjoy!

A short story in honor of what would have been Rudy Solari's 87th birthday

Garrison and the team cross the Channel for a straightforward mission but when has anything been easy or gone to plan? Treachery raises its head, an unexpected encounter with someone he didn't think he'd see again and a visit to a place he didn't want to go to again bring back bad memories for Garrison. He has to keep his head to get all the people that rely on him back to England.

Episode 11. Finishes the story that started with 'King's Gambit' and 'Hide and Seek'. Garrison has PTSD. His team have also had a bad time of things - and without their Lieutenant to protect them are vulnerable to those in Allied Intelligence who don't have their best interests at heart.

Half of the team runs into trouble. For Whumptober 2022 #5 Every whumpee's needs-Blood Loss

Sometimes the easy missions aren't always that easy. Sometimes five men together aren't all that easy either, but sometimes, you have to keep trying.

When getting back to normal, is normal the the same as it was?

Missions have gone sour before, but not like this. What will be the effects on the Garrisons and the team?

After the disastrous double mission in Luxembourg with Walker's team Chief is left behind to protect everyone's escape. He's facing a dangerous situation until Morrin shows up unexpectedly. On their escape through Belgium they find a deadly situation involving the Resistance that can't be ignored. Can they save a whole group and their families and get back for a wedding?

It's Goniff's birthday and the team has promised no tricks, so why has he been hooded and thrown in a car? This story refers to events in the Garrison's Gorillas TV episode "Death Sentence". Chris Carey would have been 92 on June 16th, he was Goniff, that brilliant, exasperating, sticky-fingered, wickedly childlike, likeable rogue of a thief. Always loved and never forgotten.

Episode 10: At the end of King's Gambit, Actor receives a somewhat odd phone call from Garrison, demanding he returns to the Mansion. This episode begins a few days earlier. What had happened to make Garrison make that call?

When one of his men is missing, Garrison is gravely concerned. But this isn't the only person whose disappearance creates problems for the team. My next story after 'No Way Back'.

A double wedding is on the horizon for Garrison and Chief but the war is throwing up obstacles in their path in the form of a double mission and those don't end well. There's also a very unexpected surprise from Rainey's past that affects everyone.

Sometimes celebrations don't go as planned. In honor of what would have been Cesare Danova's 96th birthday.

March 1st would have been Cesare Danova's 96th birthday. No-one else could have played the suave, handsome, multi-lingual confidence man with the dangerous edge. This is for 'Actor', the consummate trickster. The Gorillas are on a mission in Paris and there is no way they can celebrate Actor's birthday. The conman has other ideas and comes up with his own unique solution.

February 26th is Brendon Boone's 84th birthday. This is a birthday tribute to Chief and I wish many more Happy Birthdays to Brendon. Chief doesn't know his birthday but Garrison knows the one he chose for him. Things have been planned, more than a birthday, Rainey doesn't know what a surprise he's going to get.

The war is heating up more, even though the days are getting colder and shorter. As things progress, everybody's reactions are becoming more intense. Jangled nerves and misunderstandings need to be smoothed over.

It seemed like every cell in his mouth and throat was being torn open, it was like swallowing a handful of razor blades. He ignored the pain and lapped the rest of the water off his hands with a swollen tongue. He kept his head down, licking greedily at the rivulets of water the dripped off his hair and scalp.

January 12th is Ron Harper's 85th birthday. In honour of this let's celebrate our favourite U.S Army officer, 926314 Lieutenant Craig Garrison. The group has just returned to England after a difficult mission and the next day is Garrison's birthday. How can they con the Warden so he doesn't find out what they're up to?

On a mission to rescue a German scientist, the team soon find themselves outnumbered. The next story in my series after More False Pretences.
