Pigeons in the Belfry Affair - A little (double) drabble do ya

[otherhawk.livejournal.com]

Surveillance Report -  04/04/1965 - Oakham, England

Day 1

Set up surveillance in bellfry overlooking townhouse, after failing to evict previous inhabitants; a crowd of unruly pigeons. (See separate expense report 40176/attached bill from NS' tailor.)

No sign of Reynolds within house. Intercepted communications indicate he is expected imminently.

Day 2

NS late to relieve IK by 3 hours 28 minutes. Did not bring scones. Reports intervening in the affairs of local holistic therapist. Evidence suggests she is a brunette.

(She's an important material witness. NS.)

Day 3

Reynolds arrived at 17:08. Approached townhouse under cover of darkness. IK regrettably captured but successfully escaped and achieved total destruction of townhouse with zero fatalities. (See separate collateral explosion damage report 0836 & statement of apology to friendly national government.) NS retrieved cypher and captured Reynolds through hitherto unsuspected gymnastic prowess.

(Thanks. NS.)

Intelligence that Curtis was in Rome proved out of date. Arrived in a hostile mood and shot Reynolds while attempting to retrieve cypher. (See separate non-fatal injury to prisoner report) Successfully decoyed with holistic therapy pamphlet attached to pigeon. Neither Curtis nor Mr Feathers survived encounter. NS recommends Mr Feathers for burial with full honours.

(I was joking. NS.)

Mission successful within parameters. Returning NY 04/07/1965. IK.

I would imagine that this is a typical report from the two of them.

Eh, I imagine their reports are - mostly - sensible and professional. This was just a bit of fun on my part. :) Still, people seem to like it so I may well try it again sometime. Thanks for commenting!

I am so happy to see you back, Otherhawk! I missed your wit and story sense.

[otherhawk.livejournal.com]

Thank you! That's so nice to hear. I'm glad you enjoy my writing.

OMG not only fabulous but hysterical. Made sense as to report being like this. Mr. Waverly must have the patience of a saint.

Well done!

[otherhawk.livejournal.com]

Yeah, not serious this one but it was fun. And I agree with you about Waverly, lol.

[ssclassof56.livejournal.com]

Loved this. :)

Mr. Feathers, Hero, Class 1.

I bet their reports make excellent reading during long nights on Communications duty. Sunlamp optional.

Thank you! Well, they're always entertaining.

I laughed out loud at the last little bit...I was joking. Thanks for the giggles.

[otherhawk.livejournal.com]

Thank you for commenting! Glad it brought a chuckle.

Love this so much! You had me laughing so hard! XD I wonder what Mr. Waverly thinks when he receives these kind of reports from them...

[otherhawk.livejournal.com]

He'd probably just read them calmly, nod to himself and finish his pipe. And pretend he only saw the sensible bits. Thanks so much for commenting.

Addendum to report - reader of Surveillance Report - 04/04/1965 - Oakham, England, Section VII request replacement of transcribing device (aka laptop) due to expelling fluid through nose due to excessive laughter. See replacement form AB358/Q attached. Thank you!

[otherhawk.livejournal.com]

Ah, that certainly needs to go to accounting. :) Seriously, thank you, I'm glad it made you laugh.

Note to Self: Never try to Read Reports while swigging Coca-Cola over your keyboard. Make that two transcribing machines, please!! Plus I now have one very irritated iggy-pin, since I managed to spray coke all over my dog in the process!! And just to make it clear to Accounting, I will not need to replace my Italian Greyhound/Miniature Pinscher, but she will need laundering, as will I. Appropriate billing will be enclosed with receipts...

[otherhawk.livejournal.com]

Thank you! Glad it amused. :)

[garonne.livejournal.com]

So good! I already read it twice just to savour the wit :)

[otherhawk.livejournal.com]

Oh thank you, that's so good to hear.
