Day 5: Come On Closer
Day 5: Come on Closer
Red braced himself against the car door, his cuffed hands gripping the leather seat in front of him as the driver took a violent turn around the corner – tires squealing over the tar.
This was not exactly how he had planned his Saturday morning. But somethings just could not be helped. Particularly your own kidnapping.
They all righted again with a jerk. The driver clapped off a few choice insults in Arabic, his voice high with growing panic.
“You should listen to your friend,” Red drolled, “The FBI are quite adamant to have me in their possession, and this won’t end well for either of you.”
The passenger turned in his seat, whipping out his pistol to point straight at him, “Shut up!” he snapped and sat back.
Red shrugged, “Only trying to be helpful.”
Another violent jerk tossed him to the right side this time. He once again grabbed the seat, the ensuing momentum making his insides churn. Damn, he hated car chases. When he righted, they were next to the ocean, still keeping a blistering pace.
The driver’s voice climbed higher up on the panic threshold, and Red peered around the seat. He smiled.
Charging down towards them was a black FBI SUV, and by his guess, it was most likely Donald.
“He’ll swerve!” snapped the passenger.
“He won’t,” said Red, already grabbing the seat belt to click into place. “I can guarantee you that.”
Another few panicked words were exchanged, should they slow down, or keep going? The gunman glanced at Red then at the driver, his face was soaked in sweat his eyes shining bright with fear and terror, but also thick with anger. “Don’t swerve. They don’t want to hurt him!”
“You’re going to play chicken with a man who doesn’t understand the meaning of self-preservation?” he chuckled, then sat back, relaxing his entire body, “I wish you all the luck in the world.”
Another few panicked words, rising higher and higher, until the driver’s nerve faltered and swerved at the last second.
The impact ripped through his bones, making the car rip and jolt over the tar. Shattered glass shot by him, and for a moment everything spun, he closed his eyes against the nausea, he felt the car tilt, heard the terrified screams of his kidnappers and they came to shaky stand still. The world silent after the screams.
Dazed and out of it, Red shook his head, trying to sit as still as possible. He jumped at the sound of gunfire, two shots, and then his door was ripped open.
Donald, a little bloodied and clearly shaken by the crash was standing next to him. Red offered him a light smile and in an instant, all the tension just seeped out of his body. “Hey,” said Donald, reaching out to the cuffs, “You okay?”
Red held up his hands, “Dazed, but in one piece,” the cuffs clinked open and he rubbed his wrists, “You’re very late Donald.”
He smiled, revealing bloodied teeth. “Yeah?” glancing around he made sure no one was near – his two kidnappers already dead – before leaning in close to press a quick kiss to his cheek, “I’ll make it up later.”
The ensuing warmth made him smile like a fool, “I look forward to it.”

First of all, I really appreciate this happening ^-^
Second, are we only allowed to do one ship for the whole week or are we able to do multiple ships?
Hi! We are too :D It’s up to you, really. Whether you’re a proud captain of one, two, three, or more ships, we’re game to see all of them! Just make sure you tag them with event’s tags, respective ship tags, characters, etc. Happy creating!

I love Tom and Liz! When you love someone you have no control. I’m a fan of a good ol love story. I don’t condone toxic relationships and for sure when this relationship started off, it was unhealthy, for a better part of the series. However, they were both working on and focusing on that simple normal life they both yearned and were making great strides when it was cut short sadly. Thru their ups and downs, one thing is for sure, these two ADORED each other and I don’t think anyone can contest that. Tom was LIz’s rock and accepted her AND her faults. So much so that Liz called the man she married perfect. Well… I think except for that one part, he WAS all those things.
Despite the odds and a marriage that was built on lies on Tom’s part. He did his best to change. Remember Tom was just a child when he was recruited by the major. It was all he ever knew and was trained to be a dangerous operative. In the land of TBL spies/killers will be spies and killers. But Tom found love in Liz. And Liz was not pink and perfect. They shared similar backgrounds which is why they worked so well together. In a way, this post is more about Tom’s redemption. Tom is no different than any human being who decides to change their ways for the better. He was willing to pay the price for killing the Harbormaster. He did his very best to come clean and be honest. He was a great father. True, he had sociopathic tendencies but this began to shift and he grew as a character. A psychopath he most certainly was not as he CARED and had EMPATHY. Traits psychopaths do not possess. Here is a short long compilation of screen grabs of scenes that I love. and a few gifs. :)
Day 7: “Crazy In Love”

DAY 2: “Damn, your eyes...”
This is actually what made my heart rate quicken. I’m not even joking! This is the EXACT frame that made butterflies erupt inside my stomach. The second picture is another pic that made my heart flutter.
Look, I know that these are literally the same pics from last time but idgaf. This is all we have of this beautiful pairing!
I will def draw artwork for RayAnne by the end of the week for my fellow shippers so we don’t have to fixate everything on that one masterpiece that is the first picture! I probably will draw a minimalist piece of them bird-watching or something like that. Or maybe them walking in Central Park. Who knows? All I know is that I cannot continue to reuse the same images, haha.
In case you're late, you can also send entries. Just put the tag day, and we'll post it.
Good morning, fellas, and let’s roll!
