Chapter 1, Chapter 2, Chapter 3, Chapter 4 Chapter 5, Chapter 6

They went as far as they could and abandoned the van on Center Drive. In the distance the waterspout was still churning, like a twirling finger reaching down to the water.

The Bow Bridge would give them the best view as they headed on foot up the path towards it; stopping there and staring at the immense whirling vortex of water spanning mysteriously high into a clear blue sky.

They searched with their binoculars, seeing a few bystanders, only to have the water spout disappear within minutes of their arrival.

“Damn!” Illya cursed. “The signal was here; I am sure!”

“Well at least it gives us a better chance of finding that needle in the haystack now. We won’t have to spread ourselves thin searching all of New York.”

Kuryakin shrugged. “Only if whatever did this is not mobile, then we will be back to square one.”

Those gathering to gape at the water spout before it ended had their faces studied, but the agents decided they were merely ordinary visitors to the park.

When they returned to the van; parked behind it was a green, black and white police squad car with the red light roof light flashing away.

Love this format. A little treat every day. And your descriptions make me miss living near the city.

Thank you very much! With a 200 word limit you have to be as descriptive as you can, while covering your action.

I've perfected these drabble stories now, I think. As I started posting them a several years ago now. I've been told I apparently invented the 'drabble story,' as no one did it before me. lol.

This is the first double drabble one I'm attempting. It's actually easier than writing only 100 word chapters. Speaking of which, there's lots more chapters to come! "D

PS It's been a long time since I've been to NYC. I don't travel well unless someone drives me, and forget mass transportation with a 'walker.' Yikes!
