Start as You Mean to Go On - A Little Drabble Do Ya! - Jan 3rd

The clocks were striking midnight, marking the beginning of January 1st, as the two agents ran for the lives towards the wall which would lead to their freedom. They quickly scrabbled up and dropped down the other side, without a thought for the height of the wall. Barely breaking stride upon landing, they sprinted for the relative safety of the trees.

After a few minutes, with no sounds of pursuit behind them, they stopped, gasping for breath.

“Well, Illya, you should always start the year as you mean to go on,” Napoleon panted. “And we certainly hit the ground running.”

Nice one! It really should have been in canon somewhere: it would be a favoured moment.

Thank you for compliment :-)

This reminds me of the opening scenes they used to have in the show McGyver... a gambit they called it. It was a short little scene with a clever ending and escape by the lead. Over the wall and into the woods... :D

Now you say it, I can see what you mean. I love McGyver (they still show the original one here). The new version is quite good, but it'll never beat the original version.
