In a Split Second - A Little Drabble Do Ya! - Feb 17th

[jantojones.livejournal.com]

Napoleon had less than a second to react, and in that time two thoughts passed through his mind and vied for precedence. The woman was stunningly beautiful. From her perfectly coiffured auburn hair, right down to the exquisitely expensive heels on her small, shapely feet. The hourglass body in between would've caused a monk to question his life choices.

The other thought overrode the first almost immediately. The woman was exceptionally deadly. It was this thought which ran from his brain to his finger. This thought was responsible for squeezing the trigger, and firing the shot which killed Illya’s attacker.

Ewww, this would make a great opening for a little longer story. Who is this mysterious woman?

I absolutely loved this line! "The hourglass body in between would've caused a monk to question his life choices." Brilliant!

Thank you :-D
We may found out who she is one day, but don't hold me to that, LOL.

Mmmm really something to think about for Napoleon

No matter the situation, Napoleon manage to find time to appreciate a woman.

A man of action who knows when to quell his libido. Excellent.

Thank you. We know a beautiful woman can distract Napoleon, but his professionalism (and friendship) will always win out

Smooth, riveting, and a strong last line. The Napoleon POV is very well done, too.

Thank you so much :-D

Thank goodness Napoleon has great instincts. Well done.

Thank you. Napoleon's instincts rarely let him down.

A very powerful little piece. Indeed, duty, as well as Napoleon's concern for Illya, will always win out over his interest in a woman (which is one of the things I love about him most).

Thank you. His loyalty and friendship will always supersede any other considerations.
