Title: A Taste of Bobka Author: Shannon Pairing: M/K Rating: PG-13 Satina’s Challenge: A 212-word drabble told from the POV of a “Red Shirt”, (a third person, not M or K, telling the story.) ………. I was at the corner of 7th and University when I saw them. Having been a P.I. for 25 years, I knew a guy tailing someone when I saw it, even in the San Diego midnight fog. The first one, black-jacket, went in City Diner. I saw his profile checking out the bobka in the glass cases while the detective-looking one hung back, out of view. I watched him peer in. Saw Black-Jacket point to a bobka, frowning. Saw Following-Guy lick his lips. I wondered what was so interesting about this guy’s dessert. I saw Jacket take the bobka and pocket it, turn to leave. Detective Armani jumped back, ducking into the empty lot behind the diner. The signal for ‘Walk’ came on, but I kept watching. Bobka-guy was about to walk past where Armani was hiding against the wall. I squinted to see. I saw Armani’s hands grab Bobka into the shadows. I was about to call the cops when I noticed how close they were…how Armani’s lips nearly brushed Bobka’s as he spoke urgently. I sighed, relaxing. If Armani was after a piece of Bobka , it looked like self-same was more than willing to offer it up. I zipped up my coat, hunched my shoulders, and crossed the street. |
