He's Got Skills
Written for numb3rs100 prompt: Strike
Title: He's Got Skills
Character(s)/Pairings: Colby, David
Rating: G
Word Count 200
Summary: What does he have up his sleeve?
Author’s Notes: I wrote this AGES ago as a potential drabble, but never did anything with it. I finally finished it, thanks to some gentle urging from mustangcandi. This is my first 200 word drabble. I try and stick to the 100 word limit, but this was already well past that and I didn't want to take anything away. So...I hope you enjoy it!
Spoilers: None
Disclaimer: I don't own anything affiliated with Numb3rs...sad.
“Stay low,” Colby rasped to his team before he crouched down and made his way across the slick and dewy grass of the house that they were approaching. He stayed close to the shadows, and hoped for stealth from the team as well.
David whispered, “This guy is dangerous and sure to be armed. We can’t just go bustin’ in there…”
Colby nodded and signaled the men behind him to hold off, then he reached into his pocket. David watched him carefully before asking, “What are you doin, man?”
Colby smirked, “You’ll see…?”
He took two of the tools out of the small kit before temporarily holding it with his teeth until his hands were once again free. He focused for a moment on the door in front of him and squatted down to inspect the lock. In the next moment, with quiet precision he inserted the two tools and was rewarded with a distinctive click.
Colby took the kit from his mouth, reinserted the tools and with a satisfactory smile on his face, turned to David. His partner just shook his head and sighed, “I’m not even gonna ask…”
He turned and signaled the team, “Three. Two. One. Go!”
