How had he come to be guarding his partner? Doyle's ID confiscated, security going through his flat, Cowley beyond fury.
"Fucking security risk to end all risks, you... "
"Say it, Bodie! I can hear it whether you say it or not!"
"Doesn't need saying then, does it? My partner, caught trousers down - literally, Doyle, literally - mid-case, and not even with the bloody bird."

Silence. A silence to begin trust. Hope. And partnership.
