Primeval drabble: He Just Had To Try Harder

Title: He Just Had To Try Harder
Author: knitekat
Word Count: 100
Characters: Connor Temple, Abby Maitland
Rating: 12
Disclaimer: Primeval belongs to Impossible Pictures. Certainly not me. Writing for fun and will replace.
A/N: For the P100 challenge 275: Faster, Higher, Stronger. Part of my Making An Impression drabble series and continues from Now What? Thanks to Fred for looking it over for me, cheer muchly.


Connor blinked the sweat from his eyes as he tried to circumvent lockdown. He couldn't help fearing he'd made a mistake with the upgrade, that he'd been in too much of a rush to put their plan into action.

He made a final alteration and tried to cancel lockdown, but the computer refused to obey. He closed his eyes in defeat for a moment before he felt a hand on his shoulder. He glanced up and saw the confidence in Abby's eyes.

If Abby believed in him, Connor knew he could save them all.

He just had to try harder.

Yay for Abby knowing what Connor needed.
And yay for Connor rediscovering his self-confidence!

I love these little looks inside the characters.
