drabble challenge: Let Them Eat Cake
Really? I'm first? :O Let me know if I've done it wrong...
Let Them Eat Cake
by Allie
Gunfire.
Behind their tank-like car, Bodie held his gun muzzle-up. “Could’ve really gone for that chocolate cake.”
Betty’s birthday: and she was sharing.
Doyle frowned. “It’ll keep!”
“Anson’ll get it.”
Bodie and Doyle lunged up at the same time, firing; ducked back before the return volley.
“All that chocolate...”
Bullets thudded into the car.
“Then let’s finish this!”
Bodie’s mouth hardened. “Right. Cover me.”
He lunged from cover, running low, firing all the way.
Doyle threw down a rain of cover fire.
But it wasn’t bloody enough.

Doyle baked a huge double-chocolate cake.
Even in hospital, Bodie ate too much.
