Say What? - A Little Drabble Do Ya

[glennagirl.livejournal.com]

"I thought that groundhog saw his shadow.  Where's Spring?"  Napoleon Solo was a man born for warm climes and sandy beaches. Winter had just about worn him down with cold and snow seemingly filling up each day.

"Actually it is when the groundhog does not see his shadow that an early Spring is forecast."  The Russian, although not a believer, did know the rules of this ridiculous tradition.

"Fine, either way I remember reading that the temperatures were expected to warm up and …"

"That was two weeks ago, and they did.  Now it is cold again."

Oh.

"Stupid groundhog."

"Agreed."

Chapter 1, Chapter 2, Chapter 3


Napoleon dallied with one of the secretaries, chatting her up in the Commissary; he quickly arranged a date. He finally got around to bringing coffee to the lab and a couple of roast beef heros.

“So how many dates did you arrange while you were gone?”

“Moi? Well, only one. Missy Taylor; you know the one with the big…”

“Yes I’m aware of her ‘assets’. Illya lifted his hero and took one bite from it. “Catsup? Really, must you?”

“Hey, creature of habit.” Napoleon shrugged.” What’ve you got going here?”

“Adding an antenna, a diode detector, and this, a portable spectrum analyzer. I can track multiple radio signals. Most radios tune to one frequency at a time with a limited amount of bandwidth around that frequency; it is hard to compare the strengths of two stations simultaneously without resorting to memory tricks or rapid tuning."

"With the analyzer I can see a wide range of frequencies at once and the various radio stations, peaks and so forth. Once I establish the normal patterns, I will be able to identify out of the ordinary signals, and with the oscilloscope I will match any unusual electrical spikes coinciding with those signals.”

“Wow…”

The Vacation Affair

Can vacations be dangerous? Very much so, when you are spending them with an active UNCLE agent. This story picks up from my other story "The Explosive Affair", and deals with 15-year later Illya and Napoleon.

In a Split Second - A Little Drabble Do Ya! - Feb 17th

[jantojones.livejournal.com]

Napoleon had less than a second to react, and in that time two thoughts passed through his mind and vied for precedence. The woman was stunningly beautiful. From her perfectly coiffured auburn hair, right down to the exquisitely expensive heels on her small, shapely feet. The hourglass body in between would've caused a monk to question his life choices.

The other thought overrode the first almost immediately. The woman was exceptionally deadly. It was this thought which ran from his brain to his finger. This thought was responsible for squeezing the trigger, and firing the shot which killed Illya’s attacker.
