"Yeah?" I said.

"Be careful," he said and then got back in the car and drove off.

    These few drabbles are my favorite exchange I've ever written between Jake and Harrigan. Their entire relationship is summed up in this scene... Jake using the law, then flouting it and being flippant about it; Harrigan getting angry and reprimanding Jake; Jake having to explain his case to Harrigan; and the inevitable reconciliation.

    I have really enjoyed this quartet too. Their underlying friendship shines through.

    But be careful Jake!😬

    Thanks for reading, Neville. With Drew gone you're now Jake's sole support team here on Drablr!
