Almost Late Again - A Little Drabble Do Ya! - Nov 7

He ran.

It was all he could think about right now. If he thought of the reason for his running, his chest contracted and his stomach knotted, which made running at all quite difficult.

He’d seen the Thrush goons throw his bound partner into the water, then leave, while he was still some distance away. Reaching the pool, he dived in and quickly brought the drowning man to the surface.

“Almost late again, Napoleon,” Illya gasped, though the slight smile showed his gratitude.

“You’re too particular, Tovarisch,” Solo replied, with a relieved laugh. “Almost late is better than actually late.”

A neat and canonesque bit of banter, as is the effective suspense before it.
