A Little Christmas Story.
( Story Below Cut..... )
“I just had the most peculiar experience.”
Illya had come into his and Napoleon’s office and sat down hard, causing his chair to roll slightly.
“Peculiar? In what way?”
Napoleon had a different way of measuring what was or was not peculiar.
“I saw a man on the street who … it’s ridiculous I suppose, but…”
The blond was shaking his head, seemingly unable to express himself.
“What? Don’t just leave me without the punch line, Illya.”
Illya looked up, his blue eyes truly disturbed. Now Napoleon was interested, if not a little concerned.
“He looked just like me.”

As they left the Place de la Concorde, a Frenchman knocked into Illya.
“Excusez-moi, monsieur.” The stranger said, steadying the Russian.
“Ne vous inquiétez pas.” llya replied.
Illya and Napoleon continued on their way. Suddely Kuryakin stopped, patting his pockets.
“Chyort, it has gone.”
“What?” Asked Napoleon.
“The envelope. The man who knocked me must have it.”
Turning, they saw their suspect disappear into a building.
“I think we need a chat with our friend.”
“You have a plan?”
“I’m working on one.”
Napoleon grinned.
“Sigh, Go on, I know you want to.”
“Someone has lighter fingers than you?”
