FF – Destroying the Lobster
Here is my story for Friday Fictioneers, hosted by Rochelle. This week’s photo was contributed by Rochelle herself.

Patrons screamed as a black-clad figure smashed through the ceiling window, dropping to the floor.
“Come out, Lobster!” he snarled. “Your evil-doing days are done!”
“Good evening, Sir,” said a waiter, quite unphased. “Table for one?”
“What? Where is the Lobster?”
“I’m sure I don’t know, Sir. Maybe a cocktail while you wait?”
“I’m a top agent, dammit!”
“That’s nice, Sir.”
“I’ve got the wrong address again, haven’t I?”
“Indeed. We do have lobster, if Sir would care to choose one?”
“Fine. I’ll destroy the lobster one way or another.”
“Certainly, Sir. I’ll have the ceiling repairs added to your bill, Sir.”

Perhaps he will ask for the lobster to be shaken, not stirred

Haha, I hope he does. Surely that’s part of the secret agent training.

I love the perfect courtesy and sang-froid of the waiter when confronted by the agent. Just what you get in the best restaurants…

This was indeed one of the best restaurants until the ceiling disintegrated. The waiter’s a professional until the end, though!

Your title had me smiling, and I didn’t stop till the end. Very good. I just love the banter here and ‘the lobster’ is such a funny name for whatever villain the agent is seeking.

Dear Ali,
Already the lobster has won. That sky light is going to be expensive to replace.

Dear Rochelle,
The Lobster always wins. Given his screwup, I doubt he’ll be able to claim any of it on “spy expenses”.
