Crushing Thoughts

Huggy’s thoughts during the the darkest hours of their lives.

Episode related: Sweet Revenge.

“Starsky’s gonna die, Hug. Starsky’s gonna die… and… there ain’t nothing anybody can do about it.”

There’s always a chance, my own words echoed in my mind. There’s always a chance!

The sparkle in Hutch’s eyes were dimmed. He was Lost. Desperate. Hopeless.

Has Hutch given up completely? How could he give up on his partner? His Starsky!

Starsky and Hutch! They draw strength from each other. Starsky was Hutch’s anchor, as Hutch was Starsky’s. Now with his anchor fallen, disrupted, Hutch has dissolved himself to nothingness.

But I know… deep within him, he has hope. He’s just afraid of clinging to it. But I would. I did.

I listened to him, silently, as he reminds himself what he has to do. Hutch may not get his partner back, but he sure can get the people who did this to him.

I handed him the keys to Dobey’s car, noticing a flash of a determination seeping back into him. Hutch was the angry lion going after the hyenas who hurt his mate. He wouldn’t let go easily. He would crush, destroy, wreck, and wipeout those bastards who did this to our lives.

I’m not being over optimistic. Am I?
