Here's the prompt for the Picfic Tuesday Challenge. Remember posting is due tomorrow...that's the challenge, to come up with a story within the 24 hour turn around time.

Statistical stuff: Your stories should be a minimum of 500 words (no drabbles please?) with no set maximum. Must fit into the overall concepts of this community, i.e., contain no explicit adult material and reflect the 1960s series in style and content.

Please include in your subject header the phrase For the PicFic Tuesday challenge, the due date, and of course the title of your story! Remember to use the tag Picfic.

Posting is the date indicated with the prompt, but if for some reason you're unable to do in time for the due date, you can post your fic the following Tuesday. Just remember to follow all the statistical requirements.

Special thanks to Svetlanacat for providing this weeks prompt! (It was one of a series of interesting photos shared by her)

As they approached the short flight of stairs leading down to the entrance to the tailor shop. Napoleon reached his arm out in front of Illya, forcing him to come to an abrupt halt.

“We can’t go into headquarters looking like this.”

“Ah, the Solo reputation is at stake again,” Illya politely but firmly moved his parther’s arm out of the way.
