Jack slipped into the nearest alley. He pressed himself inside a doorway and held his breath as the police rushed by on the street. When he felt safe he took off running in the opposite direction. He had lost his keys, his wallet, and his shoes but he still had his phone. He called Pam.
She answered on the first ring.
“You shouldn’t be calling me”
“I need your help”
“You will get us both killed”
“That is not my plan. Please Pam, just once more.”
“What do you need?”
“Security S”
“What happened to your shoes?”
“Come with me and I will tell you”

I don’t know. She’s helped him so many times and it always gets her heart tangled up but she is a professional and she can’t leave him hanging. Especially without any shoes 😉

How does she know he’s lost his shoes? Phones these days… duh! Intriguing piece Dawn.

Well..in my mind when he tells her he needs Security S, that is the package that contains shoes, wallet, etc. I tried stepping out of my box a little. lol
Perhaps I should step back in 😉

If Jack is a spy, he’s not a good one. He’s careless. 007 would never lose his shoes, keys, and wallet. I wouldn’t trust him with my life if I was Pam. Good writing, Dawn. 🙂 — Suzanne
