Ryan sneezed.

Stephen jumped.

The tranquillizer dart hit a sheep.

Cutter glared.

The farmer looked unimpressed.

The sheep looked surprised and keeled slowly over.

Ryan rummaged through the pockets of his tac vest, sniffing.

Stephen’s next shot caught the fleeing predator in the shoulder.

The farmer started to relax.

Search concluded, Ryan brandished the illusive handkerchief in triumph and remembered slightly too late what he’d last used it for. Apart from cleaning his guns.

The stains were all too obvious.

Stephen grinned. He’d told Ryan to use tissues.

Connor snickered.

Ryan sighed.  Maybe he’d start taking the tablets after all.

The sheep looked surprised and keeled slowly over.

ROFL, Best line in best context I've read all day!

For a moment I thought you'd written some sort of sex pollen orgy, but this was very entertaining indeed!

I just nearly fell off the chair I was laughing so much at that.

"The sheep looked surprised and keeled slowly over."

I agree with Telperion_15, this line was inspired.

I'm agreeing with entangled_now and deinonychus_1 (and possibly also myself!) about the sheep! Poor sheep *pets*

And I love that it's Ryan with hayfever, cos my normal instinct would be to go with Connor for something like that! Poor Ryan *pets* ;-)

Just what the doctor ordered! *hugs*

From the 1st line right to the last, a smirk was forming and turning into a bark of laughter earning a very odd look from the dog.

I think I may have to agree with the others the poor sheep *pets* poor Ryan *cuddles him while trying to wrap him in cotton wool*

I thought for a moment that we had more sex pollen fic! Who was it that wrote Primeval sex pollen fic? Was it you? *tries to remember*

And I too offer my commiserations to the poor sheep. Talk about serving the predator its meal on a plate! *g*

And I love how the farmer just took the whole thing in his stride, upset more by the sheep being tranquilised than by an escapee from Jurassic Park stalking his flocks!

Poor sick Ryan he needs some TLC!

I see you've written some Numb3rs fic, I can't wait to read....

Ooops! LOL. What a shame. Yes, Ryan, take the tablets man. I'm sure your reaction time can still cope ;)

ROFL - this is AWESOME!!! Loved how Ryan sneezing made Stephen jump and shoot the sheep by accident :D

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

LOL... the return of the sheep - loved that the sheep looked surprised before it keeled over!.. and Ryan really should remember to change his hankie!
