Impossible Choices - 7 Days of Hallowe'en- 28th October (Double Drabble)

[jantojones.livejournal.com]

Napoleon Solo was a master strategist. His ability to think on his feet and quickly assess a situation was legendary, and had saved his hide on many occasions. Every so often though, his skills failed him. There were times, when even the famed Solo luck, wasn’t enough to rescue him from a situation. His current predicament was one such situation. As his partner watched from the side-lines, Napoleon considered the seven options he’d been presented with. None of the choices would be good for him. He took his time, trying to push back the inevitability of having to make a decision. Whichever one he chose, it was going to leave him with six unhappy secretaries.

Solo had no idea why the secretarial pool had decided to hold a pumpkin carving contest, but he did know it was Illya who had suggested to them that they ask Napoleon to judge. Suddenly, the tannoy crackled to life, and the voice of Lisa Rogers summoned the two agents to Waverly’s office. Solo breathed a sigh of relief at his, albeit temporary, reprieve.

Still revenge would be his. Illya didn’t know it yet, but Napoleon had volunteered him to judge the pumpkin pie contest.

Oh, I'm looking forward to the pie contest :D And Napoleon will have to make a decision on the pumpkins won't he? Justice, and pie, being served.

Napoleon is probably hoping for a month long assignment to get him out of it :-D

Chuckle...I just felt a twist coming on. Well done.

Thank you. It does seem to be asking for an extension.

Oh who will win this game of one upmanship

[jantojones.livejournal.com]

Is there ever a winner when these two get going?:-)

Not really but they do keep trying.

*snort* I can see that Hallowe'en does have its perils; even without involving supernatural creatures.

I think Napoleon would probably rather face THRUSH than make that decision :-)
