Primeval drabble: Keeping Secrets

Title: Keeping Secrets
Author: knitekat
Word Count: 100
Characters: Matt Anderson
Rating: 12
Disclaimer: Primeval belongs to Impossible Pictures. Certainly not me. Writing for fun and will replace.
A/N: For the P100 challenge 272: Keeping Secrets. Part of my Making An Impression drabble series and follows The Worst Day In Connor Temple's Life. Thanks go to the ever wonderful Fred for casting her eyes over it for me, cheers.


Matt wondered if the old custom of crossing your fingers for luck was based on fact. He crossed them anyway.

Even before Connor had collapsed when he'd heard the news, he wouldn't have been Matt's first choice for this mission. The younger man had blurted out the truth about the operation before and someone had died; who knew what he'd do in his grief.

Matt sighed, knowing Connor was their only chance for success and he deserved to know the truth – whether James was really dead and if it was Burton's fault.

This was one mission he'd keep secret.

Matt keeping secrets again? He should be careful with those. Poor Connor though, I want to scoop him up and wrap him in cotton wool.

Matt needed to be careful with this secret.

And poor Connor too *hugs him*

Matt should be careful with this, Connor doesn't need more angst in his life.

[identity profile] knitekat.livejournal.com 2012-07-22 06:59 pm (UTC)(link)
He is, but this time it is more of Connor's secret than his own ;) *nods* I am being mean to Connor.

Thanks for reading.

Matt will be, he just hopes Connor will as well.

*nods* Poor Connor needs a hug.

Thanks for reading.

Yes, I think this time Connor will keep it secret but Matt's probably right to be worried.

[identity profile] knitekat.livejournal.com 2012-07-22 07:07 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm sure Matt will be. *nods* Connor certainly has enough angst.

Thanks for reading.

[identity profile] knitekat.livejournal.com 2012-07-22 07:13 pm (UTC)(link)
Connor will do his best, this time it is personal ;) Matt is just worried that Connor might let something slip, but Connor has a good incentive to keep his mouth closed this time.

Thanks for reading.

Matt and his secrets always make me twitch a bit!

Is he going to help Connor? I hope so!! Come on, Matt!

[identity profile] talliw.livejournal.com 2012-07-22 09:30 pm (UTC)(link)
Someday all his secrets will blow right into his face.

[identity profile] knitekat.livejournal.com 2012-07-22 09:36 pm (UTC)(link)
Ah, but this is more Connor's secret *nods*

Thanks for reading.

[identity profile] knitekat.livejournal.com 2012-07-22 09:38 pm (UTC)(link)
Hopefully, Matt and Abby were to two who knew something was 'wrong' with Connor.

Thanks for reading.

[identity profile] knitekat.livejournal.com 2012-07-22 09:38 pm (UTC)(link)
It is certainly a possibility.

Thanks for reading.

*bites nails*

*looks frantic*

Hope Matt doesn't keep it secret from Connor for too long.

[identity profile] flaccidduck.livejournal.com 2012-07-23 01:36 am (UTC)(link)
fabulous sense of suppressed tension!

[identity profile] judithjohn.livejournal.com 2012-07-23 01:54 am (UTC)(link)

Oh, so many secrets! But I think Connor will keep this one. *hugs him on principle*

[identity profile] nietie.livejournal.com 2012-07-23 01:18 pm (UTC)(link)
Erk! I hate secrets.

[identity profile] deinonychus-1.livejournal.com 2012-07-23 05:20 pm (UTC)(link)
eeep! I'm even more worried about Connor now.

[identity profile] knitekat.livejournal.com 2012-07-23 07:01 pm (UTC)(link)
Quite possibly it all depends on the prompts ;)

Thanks for reading.

[identity profile] knitekat.livejournal.com 2012-07-23 07:02 pm (UTC)(link)
Um, sorry. I'm sure Connor will keep this secret.

Thanks for reading.

[identity profile] knitekat.livejournal.com 2012-07-23 07:03 pm (UTC)(link)
Glad you liked that.

*blushes* Thanks, I'm quite enjoying writing it.

Thanks for reading.

[identity profile] knitekat.livejournal.com 2012-07-23 07:05 pm (UTC)(link)
Mind those nails.

Sorry, hopefully the next prompt (or two) will help.

Thanks for reading.

[identity profile] knitekat.livejournal.com 2012-07-23 07:07 pm (UTC)(link)
Um, it isn't Matt's secret, it's Connor's this time.

Thanks for reading.

[identity profile] knitekat.livejournal.com 2012-07-23 07:08 pm (UTC)(link)
Thanks, glad you liked it.

[identity profile] knitekat.livejournal.com 2012-07-23 07:10 pm (UTC)(link)
Glad you liked it and thanks for reading.

[identity profile] knitekat.livejournal.com 2012-07-23 07:11 pm (UTC)(link)
*nods* They've all got them, but this one Connor has a real incentive to keep. *Connor always needs a hug*

Thanks for reading.

[identity profile] knitekat.livejournal.com 2012-07-23 07:12 pm (UTC)(link)
Sorry. I don't think Connor does either, but this is one he will kepp.

Thanks for reading.

[identity profile] knitekat.livejournal.com 2012-07-23 07:14 pm (UTC)(link)
Sorry. Don't worry, Connor will hopefully be OK.

Thanks for reading.

Awwwwwww, poor Connor! I can kind of see why Matt's keeping his secret though...

Interesting to see Matt's perspective here.

[identity profile] knitekat.livejournal.com 2012-07-23 09:48 pm (UTC)(link)
*nods* Matt doesn't trust Philip, so he hopes it all works out for the best.

Thanks for reading.

[identity profile] knitekat.livejournal.com 2012-07-23 09:49 pm (UTC)(link)
Glad you liked it, Matt seemed to be the expert at keeping secrets. Thanks for looking at it and for reading.

[identity profile] ebonyfeather.livejournal.com 2012-07-24 05:46 pm (UTC)(link)
ooh, great installment!

[identity profile] knitekat.livejournal.com 2012-07-24 07:12 pm (UTC)(link)
Thanks, glad you liked it.

[identity profile] kristen-mara.livejournal.com 2012-07-25 11:22 am (UTC)(link)

Ooooo Matt!!! Make the right choice, both of you!

[identity profile] knitekat.livejournal.com 2012-07-25 08:04 pm (UTC)(link)
The boys hope it will all work out OK.

Thanks for reading.

[identity profile] tay-21.livejournal.com 2012-07-26 11:22 pm (UTC)(link)
Uh-oh. I'm not sure keeping secrets is really the best choice in this circumstance. Matt better be careful.

Poor Connor. *Meep* *Huggles him close*

[identity profile] lsellersfic.livejournal.com 2012-07-27 06:48 pm (UTC)(link)
Well I hope Matt does find out the truth and quickly!

[identity profile] knitekat.livejournal.com 2012-07-27 07:27 pm (UTC)(link)
It possibly is - they are keeping the secret from Philip.

Connor needs a huggle.

Thanks for reading.

[identity profile] knitekat.livejournal.com 2012-07-27 07:31 pm (UTC)(link)
So does Matt.

Thanks for reading.

[personal profile] samueljames 2014-02-26 06:52 pm (UTC)(link)
Keeping secrets doesn't always work out well but I can understand Matt being worried.

[identity profile] knitekat.livejournal.com 2014-02-26 08:13 pm (UTC)(link)
True, but Matt has the best of intentions.

Thanks for reading.
