Partners for Life (Previously Titled "No Air")

Summary:

This is a collection of drabbles for The Mallorca Files: Junetake Drabble Event 2025. The goal of this event was to write a 100-word drabble/day for the month of June.

Notes:

Update: I changed my mind and will post the other drabbles, which aren't necessarily connected, as additional drabbles.

Disclaimer: I don't own any of the Mallorca Files characters. Just playing with them again in the sandbox. :-)

Chapter 1: No Air

Summary:

A 100-word drabble told from Miranda's point of view as she goes after the assassin, who tried to kill Max in S3 Ep 8. Spoilers for S3 Ep 8. I do get a little canon divergent at the end.

Notes:

The prompt for Day 1 of The Mallorca Files: Junetake Drabble Event 2025 was "air."

The title of this drabble was inspired by the song "No Air," which was originally sung by Jordin Sparks and Chris Brown, but the author likes the Glee version sung by Lea Michele and Cory Monteith better since the author doesn't support Chris Brown.

Chapter Text

The moment after the assassin shot Max, Miranda couldn't breathe. A moment later her breath returned. She drew her gun and sprinted after the assassin.

As she struggled with the assassin, Miranda was determined to win. She was fighting to avenge her compañero.

She heard the gun go off and barely avoided the assassin’s falling body. As she clung to the ivy on the ledge, she saw Max's hand reach out to pull her up.

“I thought that you were dead!” Miranda exclaimed, as he pulled her up. Max unbuttoned his shirt to reveal his bulletproof vest. Miranda kissed him.
