SNOWSTORM - Theresa Kyle (Starsky & Hutch)

"I think it's stuck," Hutch said helpfully.

Starsky leaned against the hood of the Torino, panting. He and Hutch had been trying to push the car from the snowbank for the past hour and he was pooped. And cold.

SECURITY RISK - Susan Douglass (Professionals)

"Wake up, love." Hands swept over Ray Doyle's curls, threading themselves through the thick strands, into the shadows of his sleep.

A NIGHT TO REMEMBER - Delaine (War of the Worlds)

"Nooooo," the anguished cry came from a nearby room. Harrison Blackwood had been wandering down the hallway and without stopping to think, opened the door to Ironhorse's room.

There sat a huddled man, arms tightly wrapped around taut knees, dark head bowed.

RENDEZVOUS IN BLUE - Susan K. Dundas (T.J. Hooker)

"So where's Corrigan?" Vince Romano asks his table-mates, looking expectantly toward the front door, watching for the fourth member of their party to walk in.

Hooker is studying the froth on his beer. "He'll be here. He said he'd drop by as soon as he finished the report on this morning's 211 down at the Jewel Mart." He draws a long, cold swallow into his throat. "In fact, Junior, you oughtta be back at the station too. I told you I needed your report on my desk first thing Monday morning . . . ."

CLOSELY FROM AFAR -Natasha Barry (Professionals)

The meeting he had just come from could not be termed a success. Not by his way of reckoning, anyway. His partner and mate, William Andrew Philip Bodie, was choosing to argue with Doyle's decision to take up the new position . . . .

THE JOY-TOY FACTORY - Jonni Corday (TV Batman)

It was another peaceful day in Gotham City. The sun was shining, the flowers blooming, and millionaire Bruce Wayne, accompanied by his ward, Dick Grayson, was visiting the Wayne Boys' Home on the outskirts of the city. Little did he know that today, his only dark secret would

be exposed to his ward in a most embarrassing way . . . .

MAZES & MONSTERS - Merlyn (Miami Vice)

They started at each other, held enthralled on the rooftop in the aftermath of the hostage situation. Neither man moved as uniformed officers dragged the last of the Escubar brothers away. They were so young, Crockett thought absently, young wild animals, uncontrolled and dangerous, and they might have killed his partner. The fear was still rolling around inside him.

Controlled this long only because Castillo had bidden it.

THE PRESENT - Charlotte Frost (Twin Peaks)

Sighing, the agent turned and accompanied deputies Andy and Hawk into the Twin Peaks Sheriff Station. It felt strange that, with Laura Palmer's murder solved, he was now free from the weekend. The thought crossed his mind that even if it weren't for the man who had chosen to remain inside, he would still be tempted to stay right here in Twin Peaks and get to know it's people on a more personal level.

SECRETS - MerLyn (Miami Vice)

Tubbs was humming as he tapped on the motel room door, the bag of groceries tucked under one arm. "Me," he said succinctly, and Crockett admitted him, gun in hand . . . .

A TIME FOR CHANGE - Charlotte Frost (Starsky & Hutch)

The bulky, brown envelope stared back at him. Angry at its power, he tried to pretend he didn't want to open it to deny its instigators the satisfaction of his desperation even thought they're were not here to witness his pain . . . .

HANDS ON THE WHEEL - Katy Katana (six million dollar man)

"That's right, Barney. She does love you. But you're not going to be a man without arms and legs for long, are you?"
