Hutch drove like a man possessed, which is what he was, after all: a man possessed with the need to find his partner.
Hutch simmered with pent-up rage that a sleepless night had done nothing to assuage. Simon Marcus and his fucking mind games.
As he raced towards the old zoo, Hutch tried to ignore the madman’s words echoing in his mind:
I dreamed Starsky’s death and he is already dying….
They’d cracked the code, but Starsky was running out of time. Marcus’ depraved minions were, if nothing else, very good at following orders.
With one last, silent plea—let him be alive, please—Hutch floored the pedal.
The Torino answered with a growl and surged forward.

Vic Humphries’ sneering face taunted him, goading Starsky into an explosive outburst that he hadn’t regretted in the least. Starsky would do as much and worse, far worse, to anyone who harmed Hutch.
Thank God for Bobby Marsh, and poor old Sonny. But it wasn’t good news. Hutch was trapped somewhere in a canyon, exposed to the elements, and injured. And it had been two days….
With one last, silent plea—let him be alive, please—Starsky floored the pedal.

Perfect. One of the things I love about the show are some of the parallels. These are perfect examples of the panic they go through when the other is missing. Thanks!
Thank you 🙂
Really great, Baby!!!
;D
Thank you 🙂
Beautiful work, HBB! There is an unique equilibrium in S&H when it comes to their care and love for each other and it’s especially showed in this two eps, in an almost mirror image fashion. Thanks.
Aw, thanks! 🙂
No matter who’s lost, the good ol’ Torino is the constant that comes to the rescue, for both of them! Good one, WF!
Thank you!

Torino… you’re too sexy! Go, babe, save them!
Hee, yes! Thanks 🙂
Very nice, baby. The trusty stead carries each guy to save his partner. 🙂
Yes, exactly 🙂 Thanks!
Parallel lives with one thing in common, the Torino.
Yep, you got it! 🙂
I love the parallel desperation. I never thought of theses scenes this way. Just Great!!
Aw, thanks! So glad you liked it 🙂
Oh, yeah, they will look for each other no matter what stands between them and their partner. Well done. Thanks.
Thanks, Kat!

And, really, that’s why my middle-school self fell for this show back in the day. And my adult self re-fell for the show for the same reason, when I finally saw it again. *g* Lovely parallel there that you’ve written, and so true.
The “me and thee” relationship has never gotten old or dated, it’s still as powerful as it was (dare I say it) nearly 40 years ago 🙂 Thanks so much for reading!
Very clever way to show the equally unconditional love they had for each other. Thank you for sharing this gift.
Thank you for being so supportive 🙂
