Summary : Written for the Primeval100 challenge 367, On Thin Ice

“Well, if the bean-counters in your blasted department would only…”

“What Professor Cutter means is that it would be helpful to known when the current budgetary freeze is likely to be lifted, Minister.”

Claudia shot Cutter a warning look and, not for the first time, wished she could take a leaf out of Captain Ryan’s book when it came to dealing with the man.

The minister glared at both of them. “I think I know exactly what Professor Cutter meant, Miss Brown.”

“Wanker,” Cutter muttered, failing to turn the word into a cough.

The thin ice promptly cracked and broke.

ROFL. I almost soaked my brand new keyboard with my current swallow of tea when reading that one!

Poor Claudia. Unfortunately she's not allowed to carry the same weaponry as Ryan (probably because she'd really use it.)

Poor Claudia, her life would probably be easier if she did go Ryan's route.

Yikes, poor Claudia trying to keep the peace. Unfortunately, there's no reasoning with those two. Nice!

*snicker* It's a miracle that Nick ever made professor with university politics and his total disdain for pretty much everyone. As usual, Claudia rocks.

Hee hee! Bad idea to let Cutter anywhere near TPTB.

Lol! Oops. Although really they should know better than to let Cutter talk to such people in the first place.
