Welcome to America Part 2 - Non challenge fic

[otherhawk.livejournal.com]

I don't know if anyone remembers this, since it's been about nine months, but this chapter has basically been about ninety percent done for most of that time. So here, finally, is the conclusion, for anyone who might be curious about my take on Napoleon and Illya's early time together.

Part one was here

The tracker stopped moving soon after, to Napoleon's relief, and even on foot he managed to catch up within twenty minutes. With any luck THRUSH still hadn't figured out that Kuryakin wasn't Hurwicz. If that was the case, they'd be keeping him alive and – relatively – unharmed.

Apparently THRUSH was hiding out in a small amusement arcade. Hmmm. He looked at the people spilling in and out of the wide open entrance way. Families with their children, young couples...a man on his own, dressed like he was, would stick out like the proverbial sore thumb. And the guy on the door was looking at each person going in – casually, maybe, but Napoleon knew a THRUSH guard when he saw one. There wasn't much chance of him sneaking in without being noticed.

Keeping his distance on the other side of the street, he pulled out his communicator and called Randolph. “Are you back yet?”

“No, not quite,” Randolph said, sounding distracted. “The traffic is a nightmare this time of day.”

He was alert immediately. “Not normally. Look around, does it seem as though anyone is following you?”

“No.” The answer came too quickly, followed by an awkward pause. “I....we ran into some roadworks. The ones that Kuryakin told us about, I guess.”

Ah. He carefully refrained from making any comment. “Alright. Do you think you're going to make it back okay?”

“Trust me,” Randolph said with a sigh.

He smiled. “Just being careful.”

“Right.” He could picture the head shake. “Well, just make sure you're careful with THRUSH.”

He had every intention of it.

Section VII always runs somethng for
with the event ending before the start of
the Halloween Challenge in Scrapbook.

Looks like we're having a Round Robin here in Section VII. Halloween opens the door wide for spooky, scary, angsty and yes...silly chapters.

Interested in joining in?  Leave a comment and let me know!.

It's going to be based on a previously written Halloween story that sets the scene for all sorts of possibilities. (instead of the other idea of a photo prompt that I mentioned in yesterday's post)

What say you?

So far ssclassof56, insaneladybug, pfrye, avery11, katbybee, myself and glennagirl are in. We'd like to have at least 8-10 writers, though the more the 'scarier...' ahem, 'merrier.'

These challenges are always fun, and not a lot of writing is required.  Most likely a 100 word minimum, with no maximum on your chapter. 1-2 go rounds...depending on how many writers join in.

There's still time to think about it of course! It's only August 28th. LOL! "D

Everyone who signs up will be given plenty of notice on the start date and the final parameters.
