It was cold enough to freeze the bollocks off the proverbial brass monkey.

Don’s breath misted white in the freezing air. On the far side of the valley, the subject paused briefly at the tree-line.

Edgerton’s finger tightened gently on the trigger.

Falling snow muffled the noise of the shot.

Moments later, the man crumpled to the ground, a red stain spreading obscenely across the once-pristine ground.

Eyes like two flat, dark pebbles stared up at Don and a shiver played up and down his spine.

Edgerton blinked and the human being was back. “He killed children, Eppes, remember that.”

Ian is a dangerous, scary man. Which is why we like him.

Oh! That little moment captures Edgerton perfectly, how he goes from the sniper to the human being he is. *loves*

Scary Ian. And moving in that all important Ian/Don direction *wink, wink, nudge, nudge*

Oh, I just got a shiver and it had nothing to do with the cold. Great job! Now *that's* some good Season 1 era Ian! Back when he was scary and we liked him that way.

Welcome back, hon! Oh, it's good to see new N3 drabbles from you! /squishes/

Edgerton is spooky, isn't he? Nicely done.
