Spooks drabble - Ruth - 3x08
Ruth. 100 words. Episode 3x08. Not my characters.
. . .
Ruth has never liked the way Oliver Mace looks at her. There is something disturbing in his gaze; something ugly, almost predatory. Ruth likes to believe the best of people, but Oliver Mace has always unsettled her.
He is always polite towards her, acting like the gentleman she knows he isn't. There are very few secrets in their world, and Ruth has heard too many disquieting things about him to want to further an acquaintance.
And so she keeps her distance, watching, wary, and on the occasions he arrives on the Grid, she finds a reason to be somewhere else.
