Fic - The Life of a Man - Yassen Gregorovich / Alex Rider
.
Definitely an experiment, this one! Based on characters in the Alex Rider books by Anthony Horowitz, and totally inspired by suzie_shooter whose fantastic fics introduced me to this pairing. (Please note that this fic is not to be compared to hers, which are much better!) 100 words. White Cortina / No Warnings Required.
The Life of a Man
~
Looking back, it was just a list.
~
A contact. A note. A name.
A date. A place. No reason.
Yorkshire, Connecticut, Novograd. Alex was there on that one. They’d exchanged a smile.
A gun. A kill. A getaway.
~
A fee. A rest.
Waiting. Planning.

Waiting.
~
Another note. Another kill. A glimpse of Alex.
~
A fee. A safe house. Planning.
Waiting.
~
A date. A place. A kill. This time Alex was close enough to touch. He hadn’t.
A new apartment. Waiting.
~
Another name. Another kill. They’d been on the same plane home. A second glance.
~
A sofa. Two coffee cups.
Home.
