Drabble, Stolen, Nick, 12

Title : Stolen
Author : fredbassett
Fandom : Primeval
Rating : 12
Characters : Nick Cutter
Disclaimer : Not mine, no money made, don’t sue.
Spoilers : None
Summary : Written for Primeval 100 Challenge 222, Footprints
A/N : For anyone interested, the story behind this can be found HERE. I apologise for any implied slur on the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS). But they are often the reason for a lot of prosecutions not going forward.

Professor Nick Cutter  pulled the collar of his coat up around his neck, but it did little or nothing to stop the chill from the wind that was currently whistling in across the choppy brown waters of the Bristol Channel.

The lighter coloured rock stood out like a sore thumb, a scar on an ancient landscape that had resisted time and tide, only to fall prey to some thieving bastards with a rock drill and a large chisel.

“I’m sorry the best they could do was a fucking caution,” he muttered, his words whipped away by the wind. “Sodding CPS.”

Snarl! I'm with Nick on that one! Great use of the prompt.

Thanks. I get really, really angry about stuff like this.

Definitely with Nick on that one. Lovely imagery.

[fredbassett]

It's a lovely stretch of coast and the remaining footprints are awesome.

Bloody thieves as well!!

Great use of the prompt.

[fredbassett]

Yep, bastards!

Wonderful use of the prompt and interesting backstory.

[fredbassett]

I've been wondering about this prompt for most of the week, then this jumped out at me.

Thieving little toerags! Nice use of the prompt :)

Me too! Thanks :)

Gordon Bennett! What a dreadful thing to do... but if there's not enough evidence... Gah.
Nick would be so angry with the vandals.

[fredbassett]

It's a very common occurrence, sadly. There are some really dreadful examples, and sadly all too few prosecutions.

Grr, I'm with Nick. Bloody thieves.

[fredbassett]

*Nods* Bastards!

[x-bellaitalia-x.livejournal.com]

I can't believe people would do that. What a bloody disgrace.

Good use of the prompt though.

[fredbassett]

This sort of theft at trackways is unfortunately all too common.

[adafrog.livejournal.com]

What assholes!
Good story, though.

[fredbassett]

Thanks, and yes, they are!

Splendid drabble - I'm definitely with Nick; things like that are irreplaceable, literally.

[fredbassett]

*nods* Horribly sad.

Collar! Collar!

I think I might be becoming a Cutter's Jacket obsessive!

[fredbassett]

Yep, we need a photo of you with the collar up for comparison purposes!

Great use of the prompt - Nick really would be ropeable

[fredbassett]

Thanks :) Yes, he would.

[ebonyfeather.livejournal.com]

Definitely agree with Nick here!
Great use of the prompt.

[fredbassett]

Thanks :)
