Summary:

It’s said diamonds are forever but they ended up costing a young flight attendant his life. Now Bodie and Doyle must go undercover in part of London’s gay scene to find a missing girl and the diamonds they believe she is hiding before the international racketeers who want them back get to her first. That’s not easy when you’re faced with murder, mayhem and drag queens. How will the lads cope with putting on a gay front when they have their own secrets to try and keep?

Loved this! The 'gay-undercover' worked very well. I really enjoyed the way you portrayed Bodie's initial reluctance and Ray's amusement at his partner. The plot was terrific and you (***potential small spoiler***) shot Ray!! I love stories where he's hurt!

The artwork fit so well, I loved the screen-cap adaptations to fit the action. The Vid was great too!

*g* I think there's still a bit of chocolate and some malt left, so feel free to join us 'post-posters' in celebration of finally having our story and art done!! It's time to relax! *g*

Congratulations and well done to you both.

Thank you for your lovely words! I'm glad the 'gay-undercover' works, I did want both Bodie's and Ray's reactions to be realistic. Poor Ray, he's such a good 'hurt/comfort' subject;) And I'm very glad you enjoyed the tale:)

The art was brilliant:D

I've pulled up a chair and settled back - just waiting for the cabana boy to deliver the chocs and malt*g* It's wonderful to relax in such great company:)
