Summary
Jackson hurled a bottle of whisky, striking the terrorist on the temple, but before he slumped against the broken door, his pistol fired three times. One into the wall, one into the window, and one into flesh. He wasn't aiming directly at anyone, but the bullet had to hit someone.
Catherine was the closest.

Summary
James Webb nearly freezes to death on an MI5 training exercise. River Cartwright saves his life. No one behaves well about it.
Naked body heat sharing, emotional trauma, Shakespeare during dirty talk, and a postcard that comes far too late.
**
“Yes, Spider,” Cartwright says, dryly. “It’s all part of an elaborate plan where I join the Secret Service just so I can end up on a training exercise with you in the Breacon Beacons and somehow engineer it so we fall in a river at minus 2 windchill, and have no recourse but to get into a sleeping bag together. You saw right through me, with your Holmes-like skills of deduction. I couldn’t have just, like, asked you out for a drink or something. If I wanted to be naked with you that badly.” -

Summary
“Cartwright,” Lamb casts a disdainful glance at River, his voice rasping around the cigarette that dangles limply in his mouth. “If you’re gonna keel over, do it outside. I don’t need the extra paperwork.”
“I’m not dying.” River grits out, tersely, each syllable thick with congestion.
“Not yet,” Shirley pipes up, glowering at him from where she’s appeared in the stairwell. “But you already look like the ghost of a Victorian child.”OR
river is sick, no matter how much he likes to pretend he isn't, and refuses to go home. lamb takes a drastic measure to make sure he goes away, and you discover that you need to change your phone number.

Summary
“You do realise it would make you one of us, don’t you? And that my shitty little job would also be your shitty little job, then?”
Spider scrunches up his nose, “Don’t be a blockhead, River. We all know you’ll live and rot at Slough House and that sort of ambitionless life just isn’t for me.”
River’s fingertips begin to twitch again but he forces himself to keep his voice down.
“And still you want to work with us.”__

Summary
“别去招惹那个刻薄的金发贱人，他一定会让你的高中生涯生不如死。”
这是摄政公园中学所有人的共识。而当这个混蛋已经让瑞弗·卡特怀特的生活充斥了三四个月的言语霸凌和羞辱，瑞弗决定要从根源解决问题。
雪莉提议让他在公共场合干一件足以让蜘蛛丢脸的事，瑞弗照做了。果不其然，他第一次在蜘蛛脸上看到震惊的情绪。
按照计划，蜘蛛应当恼羞成怒，从此和他分道扬镳，对吧？
所以，为什么全校师生都在认为他们两个谈恋爱了？"Don't even think about messing with that sharp-tongued blond bitch. He'll make your high school life a living hell."
That was the unanimous opinion at Regent’s Park High. But after months of James Webb's relentless teasing and public humiliation, River Cartwright had finally had enough. Shirley suggested doing something in public that would make Spider eat his pride. River went for it. And, just as they suspected, he finally caught a flicker of genuine shock on Spider's face.
By all logic, Spider should've stormed off, furious, and left him alone forever.
So why is the entire school now thinking that they're dating? -
