A/N: For the P100 challenge 267: Football. Part of my Making An Impression drabble series and continues from To The Ends Of The Earth And Through Time And Space. Thanks go to Fred for looking at this for me.
A/N2: Definition of Football used:- US Govt Slang. A briefcase containing the codes and options the president would use to launch a nuclear attack, carried by a military aide and kept available to the president at all times.

No matter how sick he felt, Connor knew better than to openly question Philip. If he'd been involved, it would just warn him and give him time to move James.

No, it would be better – if so bloody hard – to observe and figure out what he needed to know.

Now, that briefcase April carried so tightly in her arms for Philip, that looked important. Connor smiled, just like the US President's arming codes. Not that Philip would have anything like that, but... Connor still wanted to look inside it.

It might hold the information he so desperately needed.

Oh! What a cool use of football, I've heard of that!
*cheers Conn*

Hee, thanks. I had too, but looked it up just to make sure ;)

Thanks, it had to be cunning - a football game just wouldn't make sense in the series. Glad you liked it and thnaks for reading.

Innteresting.

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

Thanks.

[kristen-mara.livejournal.com]

Great slant on things! The first and only time I'd come across that term was when I was flicking through one of the M Reilly Scarecrow books.

Glad that Connor is busy plotting!

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

It was about the only way I'd get football into the seris. I have no idea where I heard the term - and had to look it up and make sure it really existed ;)

*nods* Connor wants his James back.

Thanks for reading.

Look at Connor being so smart! *cheers him on* And ha, I'm American and I even I didn't know they use football for that! Oops.

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

*nods* Connor is a genius and is plotting. *He needs the support*

Hee, I'm not sure how common it is in usage. I know I saw it in a book (or film?).

Thanks for reading.

Cool use of the prompt again :-)

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

Thanks, it was a bit of a meep moment so I'm glad this other definition existed.

Thanks for reading.

Bravo!

And I've learnt something new because I'd never heard of this definition before!

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

*Blushes*

Hee, glad to be educational ;) Thanks for reading.

[cordeliadelayne]

Very clever use of the prompt!

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

Thanks, I've very glad of that definition a football match just wouldn't fit the series

[ebonyfeather.livejournal.com]

Oh, brilliant use of the prompt!

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

Thanks, glad you liked it. I meeped until I found this definition.

[deinonychus-1.livejournal.com]

Oooh, great use of the prompt (it's a good thing you included the definition, though, as I'd never heard of it!).

Also, go Connor!

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

Glad you liked it (Fred mentioned including the definition, I'd already looked it up just to confirm I'd remembered correctly).

Connor is definitely FTW!

Thanks for reading.

[eriah211.livejournal.com]

Mmmm, I'm intrigued too.

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

Good to know it worked.

Thanks for reading.

[talliw.livejournal.com]

Let's hope the information he's looking for is in that briefcase.

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

Connor's hoping the information is somewhere and he can get it.

Thanks for reading.
