“Excuse me officer,” Napoleon approached him, spying a ticket being written.

“This belong to you buddy?”

“Well not exactly but I can I explain. You see my partner and I…”

“Yes officer we had to get to the Lake to observe the water spout…”

“A water what? Let me see your license, you too blondie.”

Napoleon and Illya immediately pulled their yellow ID cards, for all the good it did.

The officer stared at them. ‘Who’s Uncle? You trying to pull some weight? Now I asked nice like for your licenses, so you gonna produce them or do I have to take you to the precinct?

“Wait a minute,” Napoleon said,” How about a bit of interagency cooperation here?”

The officer looked him squarely in the eye and Solo surrendered, reaching to his inside jacket pocket.

“Freeze Mister!” The officer spotted his shoulder holster and instantly drew his service revolver. “Hands on your heads, both of you!”

“Officer really if you’ll just let me explain?” Napoleon asked.

He and Illya were disarmed and handcuffed together.

“You two are coming down to the precinct with me.”

All Illya could do was roll his eyes; Napoleon followed suit, rolling his as well.

Illya's luck here. Canon and fanon seem to disagree just how much the average policeman knows, and this one doesn't even care.

Yes perhaps Illya's luck is taking charge at the moment. Given that UNCLE was supposed to be a clandestine organization, it made sense to me that an average police officer might not have heard about it. I made him a little more earthy and automatically suspicious of two men in suits who abandoned their car, like they're above the law.

Of course seeing Napoleon's gun was the clincher...

Thanks for reading and commenting! Lots more to come!
