FF – Spy Car!
Here is my post for Friday Fictioneers, hosted by Rochelle. This week’s photo was contributed by J Hardy Carroll (I think).
“Synchronise watches… motion?”
“Motion is go.”
“Audio?”
“Audio is go.”
“Video?”
“Go on video.”
“Stand by mini spy car and… go go go!”
“Careful, steer round those kids… good, through the door, mind the rubbish bin… good, yes, good!”
“Nearly there!”
“Yes, just through this door, and… target acquired! He’s typing the password in! Video?”
“Video is capturing!”
“Excellent!”
“We’ll soon have complete access to the mainframe! All those grades we can change at a whim!”
“No, for £100 per grade. We’ll be rich! Rich!”
What’s this? Some pupil’s toy truck? I’M NOT HAVING IT IN HERE!
SMASH!
“Bollocks.”
Speak to me - I'd love to hear your thoughts!

lol, well, it was a good plan, they’ll just have to try for something less obvious next time…

Maybe a “distraction fight” to lure out the headmaster so they can plant a mini-cam…

And…um… what was Plan B again?

Plan B is to hope that the headmaster doesn’t notice the sticker on the bottom of the car saying “Property of Jeff”…

Technology only takes you that far… Next time they should try a drone.

What were they thinking?

Silly boys, they need to go high tech. The drone is the go these days. Teeny, tiny, little drones. 😀 You have to watch out for hawks though, hawks are very partial to drones 😉

They’re more fun, too! I bet they could outfly a hawk 🙂

Apparently the Dutch authorities were using hawks/eagles to take down drones that flew too close to airports.

Ah, I think I do remember something about that. Clever!

We had remote cotrol cars all over the hallways on our floor during my one year of teaching classes. This was before they could be ‘cheaply equipped’ with video. That was a fun year. Enjoyed!

Apparently this spy mission was not hatched by teenage boys, as they surely wouldn’t be using that technology to peep into the principal’s office…..

The headmaster’s office wasn’t my first thought, but I didn’t want to go too risqué…

Me too – they need to direct their energies to more legal pursuits and they’ll do well.
