Title: If At First You Don't Succeed
Author: knitekat
Word Count: 100
Characters: Jon Lyle
Rating: 12
Disclaimer: Primeval belongs to Impossible Pictures. Certainly not me. Writing for fun and will replace. Lyle belongs to Fred.
A/N: For the P100 challenge 333: Past Challenges – 165: If at first you don't succeed. Part 22 of my Strange Bedfellows drabble series. Thanks go to Fred for looking at it for me, cheers m'dear.


Lyle glared at his captors, he might not have escaped – yet – but if Helen thought he'd give up that easily, she'd have another think coming. Bloody hell, he shouldn't have let James talk him into leaving the camp with her, although James had been very persuasive.

Fuck! Where was James? Was he OK?

Lyle took a deep, calming breath. He knew James would be fine, Helen wanted something from him and she'd use Lyle to try and get it.

Lyle eyed the door once more, remembering what his mother used to say to him. If at first you don't succeed.

You can do it, Lyle.

Lyle certainly hopes he can.

Thanks for reading.

Hopefully Lyle can escape and reunite with James. Nice!

Lyle hopes he can do just that.

Glad you liked it and thanks for reading.

His mother probably also added a line about the benefits of whisky and fags!

Hee, she probably did.

Thanks for looking at it for me and for reading.

Yes, James can be as persuasive as Helen...

My money is on Stubborn Lyle and the Unnamed Deprogramming Cleaner teaming up!

Lyle shivers at the thought of Helen, although he does agree Lester can be very persuasive.

That depends on the prompts ;)


Thanks for reading.

Yes, Lyle, that's the spirit! Go, Lyle!

*nods* Lyle won't be giving up. Go Lyle!

Thanks for reading.

Don't worry, Lyle will definitely go.

Thanks for reading.

Yes, Lyle, listen to your mum! James needs you.

Don't worry, Lyle will.

Thanks for reading.
