After being caught by Thrush, they had been thrown into a cell and left there after Napoleon had been interrogated for the information he had stolen.

Attempting to be quiet as sound echoed easily, they followed the cool grey walls of the passageway as they tried to escape their prison.

“Where do you think they are?” Illya asked following Napoleon through the halls moving slowly as his gunshot wound began to bleed again.

“Let's hope they decided they didn't need to watch us and all went to bed.”

“And they just left the door open? I smell a trap.” A small laugh followed by coughing caused the American to stop.

“Are you okay?” Napoleon moved toward his partner to check him out.

“We do not have time to worry about me right now. We need to get out of here while we can.” Illya managed to stop coughing moving past him.

“Stubborn Russian.” Napoleon said moving to lead once more. If it was a trap, they would have to deal with him first.

As the men reached the recreation center, they glanced in to see the floors covered with blood but no bodies. Moving further into the room, they each grabbed a gun and rifle that was laying in the blood.

“What do you think happened here?” Napoleon asked after making sure there was no one hiding to ambush them.

“I have no idea. Why ask me?” Illya voice had a little tremble in it as he tried to deal with the pain..

“Don't get defensive. You always have a wide arrange of miscellaneous knowledge. I thought you might actually be able to show off again.”

“I am not defensive just a little concern by what we have seen.” The Russian looked around. “I just know that we need to leave now before whatever did this comes back.”

As they left the underground shelter, the smell of rotten flesh attacked their noses from the bushes surrounding the entrance. Following the scent, they found the remains of their captures torn to shreds.

As they turned around an Old Indian with a wolf by his side was standing behind them that neither had heard approaching. Without thinking, they raised their guns.

“Leave this place the threat has been dealt with.” The Indian said not looking concern that the guns were aimed at him.

“Who are you?” Demanded Napoleon.

A small smile appeared on the man's face as he stroked the wolf beside him. “We are the guardians of this land. My people are safe as are you. Now leave, all who have gone to their rest here have been disturbed enough. Your transportation is over that hill.”

Passing a look between them, the men from UNCLE limped toward the hill.

Turning around at the top of the hill, Napoleon asked. “Where did he go?” finding the space behind him empty.

Following his partner's gaze, Illya placed his hand on the American's shoulder. “There are many things in the world that are unexplainable and best left that way. This is just one more. Come on my friend, let us find leave this place.”

Howling followed them as they headed toward their car. Neither turned deciding it was better to leave the mystery of this place unsolved.

The engines cut in the twin engine Cessna Bobcat.

Not a surprise to Napoleon Solo as he’d been leery of boarding a plane that was used as a trainer during the War. It was over twenty years old, and though it seemed to be well maintained, something didn’t sit right with him about it.

Now he was regretting he hadn’t trusted his instincts.

"You are rotten, Napoleon, just rotten.  You know that right?  You are rotten, just rot…"

"Yeah, okay I get it.  Rotten.  To the core, I take it."

Melissa was hot, as a pistol with straight aim and a grudge to settle.  She and Napoleon Solo had something between them that required a referee of some sort, because it was unlikely that the two of them were going to be able to agree.

The howl of fury, which tore from the mouth and soul of the THRUSH agent, was barely human. Mitchell Cooke watched in despair as the helicopter, stolen by Solo and Kuryakin, flew towards the grey expanse of the sky. As they disappeared towards they horizon, U.N.C.L.E.’s top agents took with them, the plans and prototype for a new laser weapon.

Cooke turned on his heels and yelled for the nearest boiler-suited guard.

The Office Cat - for the Short Affair Challenge, 20th July

[otherhawk.livejournal.com]

Prompts: Howl, grey

Pretty much a direct sequel to my short affair fic from a couple of weeks ago, with the fish. Because spikesgirl58 pointed out that a couple of episodes later, there is mention of an office cat.

The Office Cat

The office was filled with women when Napoleon walked in, which wasn't something he would normally have a problem with. However, in this case they were unexpectedly all gathered around Illya's desk and making 'awww' noises - a reaction he had heard directed at his partner before, but not generally to his face.

"What's going on here?" he asked.

The crowd parted with looks of awkward guilt, revealing Illya sitting at his desk, holding a small, grey cat with a bandaged paw.

"Ah, good morning, Napoleon," he said, a glint in his eye that Napoleon didn't trust. "This time he really did follow me home. May I keep him?"
