FF – Allergies
Here is my story for Friday Fictioneers, hosted by Rochelle. This week’s photo was contributed by Na’ama Yehuda.
Agent 9 took a deep breath and crept closer, picking his way through the flower beds. His target was in sight, a small, unassuming man – no-one would suspect what he carried in the briefcase at his side.
Agent 9 placed a finger beneath his nose, closed his eyes and proceeded. Close, so close… he could almost touch the man now. He held his breath a moment, concentrating, and released… better. He reached out towards the man… closer… closer…
aaaaaCHOOOOO!
The man ran, taking his suitcase nuke with him, ready for sale to the highest bidder.
Hay fever’s a bitch.
Speak to me - I'd love to hear your thoughts!

Woohoo!

At least Agent 9 wasn’t decimated on the spot.

No, it would have been a shame if his sneeze had been powerful enough to set it off 😮

This same affliction will rule me out as a secret agent as well! Never affects James Bond though 🙂

No. And I’m pretty sure that if someone smashed a bottle of Champagne over my head I would die rather than grunt and get back in the fight 🙂

Hay fever is better than the nuke going off.

Dear Ali,
Espionage and hay fever don’t mix, do they? Good one…well not for Agent 9.
Shalom,

Dear Rochelle,
No, I think he has some explaining to do. Not really his fault, though!

Yep. Once he’s recovered he better get after him. Hopefully his target doesn’t “hide” in another flower bed.

Yes – it could well have been something biological in that suitcase.
