Title : Standing at the Grave
Author : fredbassett
Fandom : Primeval
Rating : 12
Characters : Stephen, Abby, Connor, Cutter, Lester.
Disclaimer : Not mine, no money made, don’t sue.
Spoilers : None
Summary : Written for primeval100 Challenge 276, Unexpected. Can be read as a follow on from A Departure from Tradition or as a standalone.

Each face told its own tale.

A mixture of surprise and delight lit Abby’s delicate features, although her eyes –
devoid of make-up and red-rimmed from crying – sparkled with unshed tears.

Connor’s mouth had dropped wide open and Stephen was tempted to tell him that if the wind changed he’d stick like that.

Cutter’s face held naked shock, leavened by a desperate hope that was painful in its intensity.

Lester was the only one who showed caution, with the shadow of suspicion lurking under his urbane exterior.

“How very unexpected,” he murmured. “I do hope you won’t want any back pay.”

Perfect reaction from everyone, and I honestly laughed out loud at the last line!

Dear, dear Lester: a snark for every situation.

Maybe Stephen deserves a pay rise after all, Lester ^_^

I'm sure he does!

Great look at all of the team's reactions. LOL at Lester's; so him.

[fredbassett]

Thanks :)

[natchris.livejournal.com]

That's the best outcome. And Lester being snarky - it's a day ending in "Y"!

[fredbassett]

Lester's default setting is snarky.

ooo, interesting idea and how that episode should have ended! Like this.

[fredbassett]

Thanks :)

[kristen-mara.livejournal.com]

Yay for more and for getting the reactions! LOL at Lester's priorities, and I'd rush to hug Nick, but I'll go for Stephen first. Another sequel perchance?

[fredbassett]

LOL, I have no idea. It depends on the prompts, I guess.

[celeste9]

Trust Lester to have a quip! I love their different reactions.

[fredbassett]

He does like to have the last word.
