Napoleon Solo was very unhappy. He was hot, dusty, sweaty and to top it off he smelled like a donkey. He knew this as he was riding one. A miserable grey beast of unsavory demeanor. He had no saddle, just a rough blanket thrown over his back in front of the panniers that carried the equipment he had stolen from the THRUSH lab located in the Sonoran desert. His suit was a total loss, his vest turned into a makeshift burnoose to keep the sun from roasting his face. The eau de donkey had taken care of the rest of the suit. The only positive thing about this entire affair was that Kuryakin was back in New York laid up in medical.
