To take Momentum—

Napoleon Solo ran across the green with the intention of getting into the

helicopter sitting there with it’s blades turning slowly.

The pilot stepped out for a smoke, and was darted by the UNCLE agent. Shots rang out  as Solo ducked, climbing into the pilots seat,  hitting the switch to take off.

So scant, so eminently small

Everything looked so small as the chopper rose into the sky. It wasn’t, and he’d have a devil of a time searching for his missing partner.

They were separated...was Illya captured or not?

There was an explosion, telling him the Russian was up to his usual tricks.

.

The Discs that satisfied Our Sight—

Napoleon spotted him running from the building, heading for a stand of trees, and doubled back for a pickup.

lllya jumped, grabbing hold of the landing strut as the chopper hovered, leaving him dangling precariously as it rose.

Pulling himself up into the cockpit, he snickered.

“What kept you?”

Thank you! Yes, (giggling) they always have to get their smart remarks in, don't they? I think ,sometimes, the banter is more like a stress relief and other times, it's a genuine complaint.

Half-drabbles and drabbles are so fun for that, lots to say in few words. Thanks for the comment!
