Ring A Ring O’ Roses - Chapter Two: The Trail

As requested by @mariashades this is the second part of the Captain Ochre private detective AU! I have more ideas for the story as a whole so this probably won’t be the last either!

First part can be found here!

Following their failed lead in New York, Richard returns to the drawing board. Meanwhile, Paul seeks refuge up north in the only place he can currently trust.

———————————————

Being back at Square One was never an avenue any detective wanted to return to. After days of constant research, of calls made and opportunities struck, for it to have been pointless felt like nothing more than a waste of precious time.

The tiny, rented office space that sat on the East River, overlooking Roosevelt Island, indicated to Fraser, more so than anyone else, how much he needed to solve this case. It was more than just a case of justice and truth, it was the continuation of his business that he’d built up from the ground. For so long, Richard had convinced himself that this was all he had; no qualifications save the ones he achieved in the Academy, no experience beyond police grunt work that he could now never return to regardless of what he wanted. It was this gig, or… what?

More over, he had promised Patrick his help. If they couldn’t solve this case, all of that would have been for naught and Patrick would be sentenced to a lifetime in prison for something he was already beginning to atone for. Richard could see it in his protege’s work ethic, in the way he regarded himself since working alongside Fraser and for the good of the community at large. If Richard failed this, he would be doing a disservice to more than Metcalfe’s family, than himself. He’d be condemning a man who was trying to right his wrongs, and that seemed cruel.

He lent back on his swivel chair. The old seat creaked and bent as he stretched. Up above, dark clouds were rolling in, promising a shower of rainfall within the hour. Richard flicked his wrist to check the time. It was almost coming up to half-past four. Maybe it was time to call it a day.

“Patrick!” He called through to the backrooms where he had set up a small work area for his new employee. “You still awake back there?”

Beckoned through, Patrick appeared in the doorway. In his hands, he held two sheets of paper and, as he slowly strolled over to Richard’s desk, his eyes did not lift from whatever secrets they held.

He really is trying, thought Fraser. It was a shame this case was soon to be a bust.

“Not much more we can do today. Get on home before the rain sets in and be back here tomorrow at nine. We’ll try and pick up a lead if we can.”

Patrick did not say a word or move an inch, however.

Richard tilted his head. “Donaghue? You in there?”

“Hm?”

His eyes lifted to meet his boss’s. Fraser could see the dark circles forming under the man’s eyes. It didn’t help to quell the rising guilt he felt of failing him.

“I said you can go home and we and try and pick up more leads tomorrow morning. What’s got you so interested, anyway?”

In answer, Patrick merely handed Richard the two sheets of paper. He scanned them quickly. They were both grainy CCTV photographs; one was a from a station terminus, Richard guessed Penn Station judging by the architecture; the other was from a street camera in a neighbourhood he was less familiar with.

“What are these?”

“Our next lead.” Patrick’s tiredness dulled his excitement, but Richard could still sense it.

He laid the images across the sheets that covered his desk and pointed to the figure that featured in both captures. “Metcalfe?”

Patrick nodded. “It’s grainy, but I think that’s our guy. He changes his hooded jacket between shots but the height, the cautiously looking over his shoulder, the shoes… I think it’s him.”

“Where was this second one taken?”

“Beacon Street, Boston, Massachusetts.”

Richard jerked his head up from the photos to offer him a quizzical look.

Donaghue merely nodded in agreement. “Our friend’s taken quite the journey up north.”

“The question, I guess, is why.”

“Does the expenses extend to taking the train, or are we road-tripping, because if its the latter, I’m calling shotgun and control of the playlist.”

Richard suppressed a grin. “We can take the train. Perhaps if we follow in Metcalfe’s footsteps we can get a more detailed plan of what he might be up to.”

“Should we inform his parents?”

“Not yet, not until we’re sure.”

“And the other ‘worried’ party? What about them?”

Although Richard had wished he’d been able to conveniently forget about the added governmental pressure to find their former employee, he had unfortunately been unable to.

He shook his head. “Same rule applies. Besides, the family were the one who officially hired us. The other party don’t get to know anything until they do.”

Patrick pursed his lips, once again nodding his agreement.

“I’ll book us some tickets for tomorrow morning.” Richard continued. “Think you can get to Penn Station for around seven? I’ll text you the details.”

“Sure thing, boss.”

“Get home and get some rest.”

He didn’t need to tell Patrick a fourth time. His protege briefly disappeared back into his make-shift office to retrieve his items before returning into the main room. He approached the door to leave.

“Oh, and Donaghue? If this had been a road-trip, you do know you can’t call shotgun and request DJ permissions, right?”

Partick smirked. “It was worth a shot. Don’t stay here too late. I doubt Metcalfe will be moving on quite so quickly.”

“I won’t. I promise. See you tomorrow.”

Once the door clicked closed and Patrick was well on his way out of the building, Richard unlocked the lower drawer to his desk. From within, he retrieved a burner phone. It only had one number on it. He dialled.

“I’ve found him. Boston. Back Bay East.”

———————————————

Paul went to the one person — the only person left — that he knew he could trust.

The journey had been rough. Two trains up north and a multitude of guards and police presence to dodge. Being a wanted man, by the government no less, had that unfortunate effect, but he managed to make his way up to Boston as night began to fall.

Faking his own death back in the New York motel had been no easy feat. Paul knew the scene was nowhere near as believable as it could have been, and should the cops look too hard they’d realise that in a heartbeat. He had little time, however, and now could only hope that they wouldn’t work out the obvious until he was long gone.

He lacked sleep. Paul could feel his bones growing weary, his muscles growing tired, but he had to keep moving. If he stopped, even for a few hours, he could risk being identified and caught. That was not an option. He was safe nowhere, not until he reached Adam.

In any other circumstance, Paul would have called ahead, but he knew the Spectrum department would be able to monitor such calls, should they wish. In the recent past, it had been him on the other end of those tracking devices, seeking a man who, like himself, should have been long since dead. On the journey up to Boston, Paul wondered whether there was any way of finding Turner. Given his own predicament, and the lengths he’d been through to stay off the grid, he doubted it.

The taxi he had taken from the station pulled up outside the address Paul had given to the driver. He was relieved he hadn’t been caught out by the man and taken to the nearest police station instead. Paying with cash to avoid leaving a digital trail, he thanked the driver before hopping out of the back door and dashing across the street to Adam’s apartment building.

His knuckles rapped harshly on the door.

“Adam? Adam, it’s me. It’s Paul. Are you there? Adam, open up!”

He had never been so relieved to hear the sound of a door unlocking before. Paul burst through the moment it had opened, knocking the blonde out of the way before Adam could finish his greeting.

“Hey, Paul, what’s— Hey! Careful!”

Paul didn’t listen. “Are you alone?” He asked, directly making a beeline to the windows. Any blinds that were still up were quickly lowered.

His friend locked the front door before following him through to the living room. “Paul, what’s going on?”

Paul allowed himself to take a breather, his paranoia subsiding for the time being. “I need a place to lay low.”

“Why? What’s going on?”

It was now that he noticed his friend was dressed in blue loungewear, suggesting to Paul that he was getting ready to turn in for the evening. How his heart ached with guilt that he was going to ruin that plan.

“I made a really bad mistake, Adam. A really bad mistake. I don’t know if I can fix it.”

WIP Wednesday

At last... My first Captain Scarlet fic! >:3

And I hope it will be as much of a fun adventure too! X3

-0-0-0-

A sharp gasp. His body jumped off the mattress. And a tumble off the bed before he ended up on the floor with a big 'THUMP'.

His brain was barely starting processing the blossoming pain on his poor back when he heard someone knocking on his door of his quarters.

"Paul? This is Adam. May I come in?" Was an old accuainted voice from the other side.

After sluggishly getting up to sit on his crumpled bed, and wiping away any sweat (and tears) from his face, Scarlet mumbled through his hand.

"Come in..."

Captain Blue came in quietly as soon as the door slid open, wearing a worried expression when he approached with a package under his armpit.

"Are you alright, bud?" asked his field partner, "I just heard a big 'Thump!' in there."

Captain Scarlet nodded wordlessly.

"Hey, what's in that under your arm, Big Blue?" he asked when he noticed a big box in his field partner's possession.

Blue's face turned from worry to a hopeful grin as he handed the said object to him.

"Oh, just your weekly Care Package," his friend chirped with a wink.

[kaijuboarcreations]

Currently rewatching Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons and I can't get enough of Blue's constant concern over Scarlet. Like he knows he can regenerate but he doesn't want Scarlet to have to through the pain of death over and over again. Any time Paul's life is on the line Adam is quick to be like "let me go with you" even though he knows if he dies he'll be gone for good and Paul will come back but if he can be there as a meat shield to keep lower the chance Paul will do something rash and get hurt he'll do it without a second thought.

[river-sam2]

Last line in current fic challenge go!

...I didn't know this was a thing... XD

Okay, last line / paragraph in my current WIP (minor rewrite of Manhunt: Captain Scarlet)

(If this means 'last line you wrote' I apologize? ^^;;

=============

Paul sat down beside him and rested a hand on Adam’s shoulder, ignoring the tears he could see escaping past Adam’s hand and how his breath hitched, knowing there was nothing left to say, but determined to be there anyway.

CAPTAIN SCARLET DAY !!!!!!

aka finally an excuse to draw Scarlet and Blue together………

Also happy birthday to Dr Fawn, I was gonna draw him too but uhm. It didn’t go well so nvm

[hebuiltfive]

Oblivion: A NCS Story

Chapter One: Waiting Captain Scarlet was used to dying. Everyone around him was used to his retro-metabolism. But that didn't make it any easier to watch, nor did it mean his indestructibility came without a cost.

Rating: Mature Warnings: Graphic Depictions Of Violence Additional Tags: Character Death, descriptions of injuries, mentions of plane crash, dark themes, Mentions of the afterlife, or the Mysteron Version at least, even in death scarlet cannot escape black

Notes: This idea came to me when I was reading Captain Scarlet and the Silent Saboteur, where Doctor Fawn asks Scarlet if he dreams in death. That simple question opened up a whole world of possibility and I chose to run with it. I will just preface this by saying there is no concrete plan for this story. I'm just seeing where the writing takes me. For that reason, I have no idea how long it will be either.

Disclaimers to say I don't own the Captain Scarlet franchise or the characters. The only thing I own is the words to this story.

Read it below or on AO3 here.

Waiting.

The waiting was the worst part. 

It never got easier.

Waiting.

Nothing to do, watching as the seconds ticked by on their watches.

Waiting.

Destiny always tried to be present. 

She always tried to be there for him when he woke up. Unless she was out on a mission, it didn’t matter where she was or what she had been doing. She was there. At his bedside. In the medical bay.

Waiting. 

It was torture having to wait, but it was important for Paul to have people he knew, loved and trusted around him when he came back from the land of the dead. At least, that’s what Doctor Gold had said.

Adam often waited with Destiny for that reason. 

Together, they sat patiently.

Waiting.

The seconds would turn into minutes and, more often than not, the minutes turned into hours. 

Once, they had both experienced the close call of truly losing Paul, despite his retrometabolism. It was a harrowing day, but it was the day both Adam and Destiny had decided to be present together, not only for Paul’s sake but for each other. 

Because the waiting was always the worst part.

Everyone on Skybase knew Captain Scarlet was indestructible. He’d become Spectrum’s most valuable asset against their war against the Mysterons.

Captain Scarlet was indestructible, but Destiny still found herself worrying.

Would that luck of his eventually run out?

A cat only has nine lives and, given the fact they new little about how the Mysterons’ retrometabolism worked, would Paul eventually succumb to the Great Sleep before they were ready to say goodbye to him? 

Destiny didn’t want to imagine having to say goodbye to him permanently. Again. The memories from the first time still haunted her. So many people had been the victim of the Mysterons war against them. Paul couldn’t be one. Not again.

She knew Adam probably held the same concerns too.

Shared those same worries.

They were unspoken, but Destiny could feel it. They both shared those thoughts as they sat there.

Waiting.

The worries were always quickly ousted from Destiny’s mind, however. They were thoughts she couldn’t bear to think about when she sat at Paul’s quiet bedside. 

It was always quiet in the medical rooms.

A small blessing.

Doctor Gold appeared every now and then to check in on his patient, and to give the two sitting vigil the updates they so badly needed on Paul’s condition.

Those updates never got easier.

The updates usually ended with Doctor Gold repeating the same two sentences he always did.

“You both should get some rest. He won’t be awake for a few hours yet.”  

Neither Destiny nor Adam ever moved from those seats though, even when Gold ended his shift and turned in for the night. They always remained, flanking the unconscious Paul, with Destiny sitting on one side of the bed and Adam on the other.

Waiting.

Always waiting.

The time it took for Paul to reawaken varied. Usually it was six hours. Sometimes it was twelve. They had found it depended on the severity of his injuries. 

The bruises and cuts rarely remained, but occasionally Paul could be left paralysed for a few days.

Seeing their indestructible friend confined to a wheelchair was always a sight.

Indestructible he may have been, but it was a stark reminder that he could still be hurt. 

Wounded.

A reminder that, although he may have woken up, Paul had still been dead.

Destiny often found herself wondering what went on in Paul’s mind during those hours of infinite slumber. Did he dream? Was he aware of anything?

She wasn’t sure if knowing the answers would have made her feel more easy with the situation.

She doubted it.

When Doctor Gold had finished his shift for the night and Doctor Fawn had taken over, Adam filled Destiny in.

On the mission. 

The Mysteron agent. 

The plane crash.

Paul had ejected from the doomed craft just a second too late.

Today’s death came from being caught up in the tail end of the explosion.

He had been torn to shreds.

Adam had pulled him from the wreckage. It hadn’t been a pretty sight.

It rarely was.

The internal damage Paul had sustained was extensive, according to Doctor Gold’s initial scans. He estimated Paul wouldn’t be awake until at least the morning.

Possibly early afternoon.

Destiny didn’t care. 

By the look of it, neither did Adam. 

They’d wait for as long as it took. 

Paul continuously put himself in so many situations, he made sacrifice after sacrifice so that the world — so they, his friends — could continue living.

Waiting half a day for him to wake up was the least they could do for him.

No matter how much the waiting hurt.

Neither Destiny or Adam slept that night.

Sometimes they sat in silence, the only sound coming from the beeping machines that were hooked up to Paul. 

Sometimes they shared stories about their day. 

Sometimes they made jokes in a feeble attempt to lighten the mood. 

It never worked. The solemn feelings remained hanging over their heads.

Those feelings wouldn’t lift until they knew Paul was home.

Just after dawn had broken over the landscape 60,000 feet below Skybase, Paul’s eyes slowly flickered open.

Their waiting was over.

Destiny was the first to notice.

She was the first to jump to her feet. 

Adam followed her lead once he’d noticed. 

He called back to the Medical Office. “Doc, he’s awake!”

Paul tried to sit himself up, grunting as he did. He still looked like death.

Destiny pushed past the uneasy churning of her stomach. “How do you feel?” 

He stopped his attempt at sitting, hand rising to rest against his forehead. 

“Woozy.” Paul admitted whilst lying himself back down again. His voice was weak. Hoarse. “How long was I out?”

Adam flicked his wrist to check his watch face. “Almost thirteen hours.” 

He sounded relieved. His friend was okay. He was awake. 

He was alive.

Destiny understood that feeling.

Had felt it wash over her only moments ago too.

“Take it easy.” Adam gently held Paul by his shoulder as he tried to sit himself up again. “Gold said you took quite the beating in that explosion.”

Doctor Gold appeared as if on cue.

He was followed by two more medical officers.

With a scanner in his hand, Doctor Gold shooed Adam and Destiny away from the bedside.

“Why don’t you two go and grab some coffees, or something?”

They’d heard those words before too. They knew it was Doctor Gold’s code for ‘get out, let us work and catch up later’.

Adam offered Paul a wave, Destiny a quick kiss to his cheek, and they finally left the MediBay.

Once they had freshened up and changed their clothes, they met in the canteen.

Gold’s suggestion of a coffee had been too tempting to ignore.

Their vigil was over.

Until the next time.

But they’d be there.

They’d always be there.

At his side.

Waiting.
