Title: A soft spot

Author: mrua7

Charlie Simmons was an innocuous sort of fellow. He was of average height, with very plain features.  When the dark-haired young man spoke his words were soft and wispy. There was really nothing memorable about him at all.

In a way his personality fit his job at U.N.C.L.E but being a clerk down in File 40 had its perks, at least to him.

He got to read everything, as he’s not only filed reports by title, but crossed referenced them by location and the agents involved. He had an eidetic memory and recalled everything he read, just like Mr. Kuryakin. That gave Charlie a sort of connection he thought, with a superspy like the Soviet agent.

If someone couldn’t recall the name of an affair, all Charlie had to do was ask where it had been and the name of the agent or agents involved. Instantly he knew which file it was, and the date it was completed. So if Mr. Waverly wanted the records for an incident in Venice involving Mr. Solo falling into one of the canals and contracting pneumonia; he’d have it in the blink of an eye. The Galatea Affair.” Piece of cake. That was the sum total of Charlie Simmons' excitement in life; living vicariously through the exploits of others.

He sighed a lot.

Challenge: The Short Affair 7/6/15 You Did Volunteer

Challenge:The Short Affair

-Prompt Word #1 - Abyss

-Prompt Colour – Pink

Title: You did volunteer

Author: jkkitty

Their assignment had been to rescue Miss Roman from Thrush's clutches and returned her to her father who was being pressured into working for them. 

Now the girl of no more than sixteen stood as close as possible in front of the Russian. She smiled at him before leaning up giving him a kiss on the lips. “You're so handsome Mr. Kuryakin. Maybe we could go out to get something to eat?”

Although he knew it was just a teenage infatuation, the express of amusement on Napoleon's face caused his ears and his cheeks to flush pink with embarrassment.

“I am sorry, but I have paperwork to do.” He offered as an excuse.

“That's okay Illya, I'll finish up the paperwork. You can run along if you want.” Napoleon said with a wide grin that added to his partner's discomfort.

Turning his back on the girl to face the CEA, Illya glared at him gritting his teeth. “I know you have other things you must attend to Napoleon. I will finish the report up as it needs to be on Mr. Waverly's desk tonight.”

“See Mr. Kuryakin, or can I call you Illya?” She said snuggling up closer to him. “Mr. Solo will take care it. I know the perfect place. We can go to the malt shop by my school to eat then later in the evening they allow us to use the floor to dance. They have all the latest rock and roll records. All my friends will be there and I can't wait to show you off. They will be so jealous.”

Illya's pink began to turn to green. His eyes begged Napoleon for help after all his partner was the one who had a way with women.

Waverly sat listening to his top agent tease his partner. He decided to step in and prevent the Russian from becoming further embarrassed.

“I'm sorry Miss Roman, but we have a rule against our agents dating the people from their assignments.” He said giving Napoleon a look telling him to remain quiet.

A look of disappointment passed over the girl's face. “I understand. Maybe another time then.” She gave Illya another kiss before leaving the room.

Napoleon began laughing. “I guess you managed to get out of that one. Well I have a date and need to get going. Just have the report on my desk for my signature. I'll see you in the morning tovarisch”

“Mr. Solo, I believe YOU have paperwork to do. I would like it before you leave this evening.” Waverly informed his top agent.

“But, but......” Napoleon sputtered.

“Into the abyss of paperwork, Napoleon. You did volunteer to do it after all.” The Russian walked away grinning. He looked forward to going home, listening to his records and reading the journals he been putting off.

Short Affair Challenge - Another One of Those Days
Prompt Word - Abyss
Prompt Colour - Pink
Word Count - 998
Note - this is an episode tag for The Mad, Mad Teaparty Affair.

Napoleon was looking forward to a quiet day after the chaos of yesterday. Obviously after everything Mr Hemingway had managed to do, they needed a complete overhaul of headquarters security, not to mention they needed to take another look at recruitment screening, considering a THRUSH infiltrator had managed to rise so far inside UNCLE. For once, he was hoping they'd have some time in the office before their next out-of-town assignment - there was too much to do, and he was already making plans as he made his way in.

Of course, his train of thought was completely derailed when he walked into his office and saw a large fish-tank where no fish-tank should be.
