Clue Challenge #28: November 2011
Hurray, we had a challenge response fic this month, and just when I was wondering if anyone still wanted these challenges. So this time my lovely co-mod responded to the October prompts (Don, exsanguination, at night) with the wonderful drabble Slick Red Streams. Anyone else wanna have a go? Like all of the other challenges, it's always still open.
Now, moving on, for November we'll have:
Who: Don
What: Rifle
Where: National Park
Okay, I have to admit the image I had when coming up with these prompts was of Don on his own in a national park, being hunted down by someone with a sniper rifle. Perhaps he went for a hike on his time off and was a random target, or perhaps someone had been watching him for a while, just waiting for the right opportunity?
But it could also be that the FBI gets called in to a crime committed there (it's federal land after all) and that the perp is still around and decided (or it was planned) to start taking pot shots at the feds and Don just happens to get hurt. Or maybe the perp decided to go after the guy in charge. If this is how it goes down, then Colby might be having some unpleasant flashbacks, what with the sniper situation and them being pinned down.
This could also work with Don as a child and the bad guy as the type who likes to go after children. Perhaps Don wandered too far away from the others and became a victim of opportunity? Maybe a bad guy trying to evade FBI agents takes him as a hostage and threatens to shoot him if they don't back down? Perhaps it was Charlie who wandered away and Don went looking for him and they both get captured and the bad guy uses Charlie to ensure Don's cooperation as he's older, teenage perhaps, and quite fit?
If you want adult!Don but still have others involved, perhaps Don went hiking with Charlie or Robin or Alan or any combination thereof? It would give them a good opportunity to see Don in action, especially if Don got injured with the first shot and is still leading them and keeping the bad guy off?
