“Connor!”

Matt looked up as Burton strolled purposely towards Connor. He smirked, it looked as if Lester would have to mark his possessions to keep Burton away. His smirk grew wider when Connor ignored Burton and continued to look out the window.

It faded at the calculating look on Burton's face as he followed Connor's gaze and put his arm around Connor's shoulders, leading the unresisting man away.

Matt waited for them to pass before checking the window. What the fuck? Lester was standing rather too close to another man. Tall, dark and handsome. Their heads bowed together. Bloody hell.

****

Lester looked up as his door slammed open. “Didn't anyone ever teach you to knock?”

“You bloody bastard.”

Lester's eyebrow quirked. “Or manners, it would appear.”

“What the fuck are you doing with Connor?”

“Not that it is any of your business, but I thought you and Becker knew what two men did together...”

Matt growled, “Not that. The man in the car park.”

“Ah.”

“Yes, fucking ah.” Matt folded his arms.

Lester folded his arms. “I don't see how that is any business of yours.”

“No?” Matt glared at him. “Well, it is Connor's.”

Lester looked wary. “He saw?”

****

Lester rubbed his face. “Fuck! Where is he?”

“Do you care?”

“Yes I bloody well do. I need to explain.”

Lester's door slammed open once more as Abby stalked in, her eyes furious. “What the hell have you done to Connor?”

“He's been speaking to you?” Lester asked as he pushed his chair back slightly.

“No. He's with Burton.”

“Fuck!” Lester surged out of his chair but Abby blocked his exit.

“Well?”

Lester sighed, looking from one to the other. “Connor wants to find out what Burton's planning.”

“And that man.” Abby asked coldly.

“An old friend. A covert expert.”

Nice build up of tension!

And such clever characterization within the drabble format.

I'm really glad for the tall, dark and handsome prompt.

Slightly worried now though optimistic for Lester & Connor in the long term. I'm sure Connor won't fully start trusting Burton and hopefully he'll let Lester explain the meeting.

Um, I'm sure the boys will be OK in the end. Connor probably won't trust Burton but probably will let Lester explain at some point

Aww, poor Connor and then eek! poor Connor.

Let's hope Lester gets the chance to explain before Burton gets his claws into Connor.

I thought Connor had a little more faith in Lester. Hopeful he will let Lester explain.

I'm sure he does, really. It was just a shock/surprise to see what he saw. I'm sure Lester will. Thanks for reading.

Oh, noes! Poor Connor, but it's good to see that Matt and Abby are ready to chop Lester's head off if he cheated on him.

Oh no, misunderstandings and hurt feelings! I do love Matt and Abby looking after Connor and also this line: “Not that it is any of your business, but I thought you and Becker knew what two men did together...” Hee!

Well, things couldn't be easy for the boys ;) Abby and Matt are not happy with Lester at the moment. Glad you liked that line, it just seemed a Lester-ish thing for him to say. Thanks for reading.
