“It’s the waiting I can’t stand,” complained Napoleon, as he and Illya crouched behind a bush.

“I would have thought you would have grown used to it,” the Russian replied. “From surveillance to waiting on intelligence, we spend a lot of time waiting for things in this job.”

“Oh I can deal with that,” Solo told him. “It’s this kind of waiting I have trouble with. We’re like coiled springs, waiting to be released when everything starts.”

Illya shrugged in response.

“Personally, I find this part exhilarating.”

Before Napoleon could answer, their quarry was sighted and they leapt into action.

Sort of like a couple of cats, yes? Pity the poor THRUSH mouse.
