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

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Intelligence that Curtis was in Rome proved out of date.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.

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!

Loved this. :)

Mr. Feathers, Hero, Class 1.

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

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

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...

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...
