The Spy Who Could Not Dance
By Tracey Delaplain
Sara, no longer sensible and bland, teetered towards the Pink Pussycat in her stiletto boots and leather miniskirt. Her spy instructor had assured her in his best mafioso voice that the mission would be, “A piece of cake sweetheart, just deliver the mouse”.
Spotting her target over a sea of dancers, Sara calculated the most direct route. Once on stage, how was she to know that her dance moves would leave her sprawled on her belly, skirt above her ears, with the mouse no longer full of white powder, shattered beneath her?
In hindsight perhaps the man wasn’t imitating a mob boss.

Me thinks you are right Joy. Never trust an Internet Spy instructor.

Dear Tracey,
That’s probably not how Sara’s mission was supposed to end up. You have to be so careful of Internet spy instructors.
Shalom,

I had a girlfriend who owned boots like that once. I should have asked what agency she worked for 🙂
Nice work.

Me thinks your spy was quite attractive–a wallflower in spiked heels. Too bad she took a tumble. Maybe she should have taken dance lessons instead of spy training.

Right? And back to sensible shoes.

If he acts like a mob boss, sounds like a mob boss and is interested in suspicious white powder…
Great story!

The choice of footwear was especially critical in the dance! Yikes. Yousa on those spikes. I don’t see how it could have ended any other way.I like “…just deliver the mouse.” Very funny piece, Tracey.
