The Birthday Photographer

All screencaps by me, Allie, from "Slush Fund."

With apologies and thanks to Karin B for inspiration!

Bodie's an excellent photographer, and someone has taken note.

"My nephew's birthday is approaching, and I need a photographer for his party."

"Eh?"

"3.7, when I give you an order, I expect you to follow it."

"This is my nephew."

"Your nephew has ginger hair, sir."

"I'm well aware of that fact, 3.7."

"I only wondered if it ran in the family. Were you ginger as a lad, sir?"

"Cowley has you doing what?"

"Look mate, I need help. I'm not good with kids, okay?"

And he proves it...

"All right kid, we can do this the easy way or the hard way."

"...." (He's not thrilled.)

Doyle plays good cop.

"Come on, you're a big boy. You can cooperate for a photo."

"Listen you, I wanted a pony!"

Doyle makes a phone call....

"Sorry, sir, we had to bribe him with a pony. It's on your account."

"You what?"

"Doyle signed your name, sir."

"I thought it was really clever of him, sir."

Mumbling under his breath "C-o-w-"

"Thanks a lot for getting me in it with Cowley, mate."

"I said we should've just cuffed the kid, Ray."

"...."

The lads are back on long distance photography only.

And those scary sandwiches. (Poor Doyle.)

"Cheer up, Angelfish, there's always bullion and vodka."

"I just remembered I'm not hungry."
