Wednesday Drabble: Trust

[pebbleinalake]

Napoleon gripped the payphone tighter, leaning heavily on the wall of the booth. "Can you do it?" he asked again, trying to hide the pain and desperation from his voice.

"I still don't understand," his partner said. "You know I can get into serious trouble removing that item from the evidence lockup without Mr Waverly's permission, yet you won't even explain why you need it? Or why we need to meet in such an unusual place, without backup?"

"Illya, please. Do you trust me?"

There was only a momentary hesitation on the other end. "I'll be there in twenty minutes."

Yes, yes yes yes! What a taut scene in so few words. This is why I like drabbles.

Thank you! :)
And yes! I love the challenge of drabbles. Trying to fit an idea or scene into only a hundred words is always difficult and fun.
