Word Count: 100

Disclaimer: Primeval belongs to Impossible Pictures. Certainly not me. Writing for fun and will replace.
A/N: For the P100 challenge 224: Why Didn't You Tell Me? Part of my Making An Impression drabble series and sequel to What Have You Done Now? Thanks to Fred for looking at it for me.


James quirked an eyebrow as Connor played with his food. “Connor?”

“Philip offered me a job.” Connor swallowed and looked down at his plate. “I accepted last week.”

“You did what?” James closed the distance between them in a few steps, his hands dragging Connor to his feet. “Why?” He shook his head and released Connor, stepping back and folding his arms. “Why didn't you tell me? I thought...”

Connor cut his words off with a kiss. “I do, but we need to know what he's up to. This is the only way.”

“No. It's too dangerous.”

“I'll be careful.”

Nice development. Great drabble.

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

Thanks, I was a bit concerned it was a leap. Glad you liked it.

Ooo ooo ooooo. Angsty and suspenseful all in one. I love it! Great way to explain what happened next. :-D And the plot thickens.

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

I seem to default to angst ;) It just fitted with the last one so well I had to do it. Um, hopefully ;) Thanks for reading.

[lukadreaming.livejournal.com]

Ooh, neat! Plot, angst and suspense, all in 100 words!

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

Hee, thanks. Glad you liked it. The prompt just fitted so well with last weeks this just came to me (and then I worried about it) Thanks for reading.

Eeeeep!!!

Nice drabble.

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

Lester's hoping it won't be 'eeep' (as is Connor) ;)

Thanks, glad you liked it.

[samueljames]

I love this idea.

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

Glad you do, if occurred to me when I saw the prompt. Thanks for reading.

[samueljames]

I just realised that my drabble has the same characters discussing the same issue. I didn't mean to be inspired in a plagiarism way. Sorry about that.

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

I don't see the problem, it is a cannon event and the boys plotting over it is would make sense.

[samueljames]

Thanks for being understanding.

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

That's OK. *pokes for you to post it*

[samueljames]

It's been and gone. I deleted it after I got the reply back to my comment on your drabble. I won't repost but I'll know better for next time.

As a relatively recent convert to the Primeval fandom I didn't want to be that new person who waltzes in and upsets someone. It's such a lovely fandom.

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

*pouts* Thinking about it, I'm pretty sure I read it and commented on it, so I obviously didn't think it was a problem when I read it (and don't now). So I see no problem if you want to re-post it.

Don't worry, I think we are fairly hard to upset. At least, I am ;) It is a brilliant fandom!

[samueljames]

Thanks, everyone I've 'spoken' to seems very nice and supportive. There seems to be a lot of love for OCs and a wide range of characters written about.

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

They are, I remember how nervous I was when I first started posting and I had lots of paw-holding (still do). The OCs are great too and can be borrowed ;) and it is good that we have such a choice of characters to read about. *hugs*

[kristen-mara.livejournal.com]

Oooo - so that's how it happened! Makes much more sense *G*

Well done!

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

Why Connor worked for Burton, you mean? It does, doesn't it.

Thanks.

[fredbassett]

Meep!!!!!

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

The boys hope it won't go meep on them ;) Thank for the beta and for reading.

[echo-fangirl.livejournal.com]

Ooh, excellent development!

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

Thanks, glad you liked it.

[nietie.livejournal.com]

Eek!! Being careful is not enough, I'm afraid!!

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

Connor hopes it will be (James will be worrying I imagine). Thanks for reading.

[deinonychus-1.livejournal.com]

meep! Be careful, Connor!

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

I'm sure he'll try but this is Connor ;)

Thanks for reading.

[telperion-15.livejournal.com]

Ooh, I like this! :)

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

Hee, Lester doesn't ;) Thanks and glad you liked it.

[ebonyfeather.livejournal.com]

Great follow on from the last drabble!

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

Thanks, I had no idea what Connor had done until I saw this prompt ;) Glad you liked it.

[cordeliadelayne]

Nicely done! (Oh, and btw, I make it that this is exactly 100 words, so maybe your word count is playing up?)

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

Thanks, glad you liked it.

(Thanks, my word count is, it comes up with 'interesting counts' and I haven't the faintest idea what its counting as words. I tend to manually count drabbles and get Fred to check with her word count. Thanks for the heads up, I meant to change it and forgot)

[celeste9]

Uh oh! Looks like Connor did have something to make up for... I like the idea of Connor working for Burton to figure out what he's doing.

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

*nods* Connor did (once this prompt appeared *g*). I don't think Lester does. Thanks for reading.

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

Hee, you could be correct there ;) Thanks for reading.

[lsellersfic.livejournal.com]

Meep! Be careful Connor!

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

I'm sure Lester will remind Connor to be. Every few minutes at the least ;) Thanks for reading.

[eriah211.livejournal.com]

Oh, no! I'm not sure that is a good idea, Connor.

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

*pet* James doesn't either. Thanks for reading.
