Summary : Written for the Primeval100 challenge 308, Nick Cutter

“What’s he like?”

The latest bright-eyed and bushy-tailed probationer straight out of Hendon consulted her notebook and opened her mouth to start reading.

DS Ian Gordon waved her into silence. “I don’t want to know his inside leg measurement. Just give me your gut feel.”

She closed the small black notebook. “He’s worried sick. I don’t think he had anything to do with her disappearance.”

“That’ll make a nice change,” Gordon muttered. “OK, shove him in the interview room and get him a drink.”

“I thought torture was banned, Sarge?”

He grinned at her. “He doesn’t have to drink it…”

This was a nice little insight into what Helen left Cutter when she disappeared, or maybe this is what happened after a creature, and before Lester's machinations to retrieve him. It has me thinking. Great :)

[fredbassett]

Thank you :)

Lovely outsider pov

[fredbassett]

It successfully broke my block on this prompt!

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

That is great news. Blocks are a bloody pain.

Always great to see the pov of outsiders. Poor Nick!

[fredbassett]

Thanks, I like doing outsider stuff.

If only her gut could tell the rest of the story, it could have saved everyone a lot of heartache!

[fredbassett]

It certainly could.

Very nice use of the prompt - 'bright-eyed and bushy-tailed probationer is such a great summing up of a character - Primeval has made me love OCs. Poor Nick.

[fredbassett]

Thank you!

Ooh, yes, usually the husband is the first suspect.
Great use of the prompt.

[fredbassett]

Oh yes, it's a crime fiction staple, as well as being true in real life.

[dreamer-98.livejournal.com]

Very nice! I'm worried about how bad this questioning is going to get.

[fredbassett]

They might offer him a third cup of coffee!

[kristen-mara.livejournal.com]

I would like to know Nick's inside leg measurement! *slaps self for misbehaving*

Wonderful angsty look at the hell Nick went through and so well captures the OCs in just 100 words.

[fredbassett]

LOL!!!

[cordeliadelayne]

Nicely done!

[fredbassett]

Thanks :)

[celeste9]

Oh, clever! It would have been so hard for poor Nick when Helen up and vanished. I love the bit about the drink being torture!

[fredbassett]

Police station coffee is bound to be awful!

[lsellersfic.livejournal.com]

Great last line!

[fredbassett]

*g* Thanks :)

[deinonychus-1.livejournal.com]

Poor Nick!

[fredbassett]

Indeed!
