"Caught in the act"~ a double drabble for A Little Drabble Do Ya!"

Illya opened it up as he drove the U.N.C.L.E. Piranha car along a desolate stretch of Arizona highway.

It was a rare occasion that he was able to drive fast just for the sheer pleasure of it and he was going to take full advantage of the opportunity.

Kaboom!

The emergency parachute in the rear automatically deployed. Once the car came to a stop, Kuryakin pushed up the gullwing door and quickly exited.

The rear hatch was blown open, with thick black smoke billowing upwards. Seconds later the car was engulfed in flames, telling Illya it was time to move away, and quickly.

He paced round in a circle on the side of the road, running his fingers through his hair. He was dreading it, but a call to Waverly was necessitated.

His head would be on the chopping block for destroying the Piranha.

“Open Channel D- Kuryakin.”

“Are you all right Mr. Kuryakin?” Waverly asked.

“Yes, but how...?”

“R&D installed a new series of sensors in the Piranha and I was just notified of an engine malfunction.”

“That is a relief, sir.”

“Don’t count your chickens just yet, young man. You were speeding.”

Kuryakin cringed.

Waverly should be grateful to Illya for discovering the car's unsafety. At his own risk and initiative, too.

This is another scene which really should have been in canon, perhaps starting an affair.

OMGosh, and ultimate compliment. Thank you!

"Waverly should be grateful to Illya for discovering the car's unsafety. At his own risk and initiative, too." That's a great defense when he ultimately meets with the boss! lol!

Doesn't he always speed? LOL. I agree with laurose8. Illya did R&D a service by discovering a potentially lethal problem.

He did do them a favor, but he was speeding 'off duty.' Speeding on duty is apparently permitted in a company vehicle. Maybe Waverly will go easy on him for discovering that fact. Imagine if it happened in a populated area?

Thanks for the comment!

Ooops - can't get anything past Uncle Alex....

So true! Illya should know better! Thank for the comment. :D

Napoleon: "So Illya, what did you do on your day off?"

Illya: "Oh, nothing really...I was only bitten in the butt by a Piranha, thanks."

Napoleon: "Excuse me?"

Illya: (As he leaves the room, grinning): "Certainly!"
