The Secret of Their Success

Mr. Waverly sucked on his pipe as he contemplated his answer to his counterparts’ question: What did he think was the reason for the continued success of the Solo – Kuryakin team?

“Gentlemen, this team has succeeded even beyond my expectations because they have broken espionage’s First Rule: Trust no one.  If one told the other the sky turned polka – dot, it would be believed without question.  They know the other is completely trustworthy.”

Number One Asia inquired, “How can we duplicate that?”

“One cannot capture lightning is a bottle, gentlemen; it either happens or it doesn’t.  It happened with them.”

This was excellent. I agree with Glenna, that line. "Lightning in a bottle" perfect.
