Awesome, hilarious moment deftly told. Really liked the bits of back story as well. Only critique would be the use of present tense for her not squeaking. It’s semi-justifiable, I think, but personal preference would be for it to stay past tense.
Really brilliant descriptions here which set the scene fantastically…
I love how this moves from thrilling espionage to perfectly-pitched hilariosity in the space of a couple of paragraphs – still keeping a decent plot sandwiched in between the two!
Agreed, THX – I hadn’t even noticed that until you mentioned it. Fixed.
Thanks for the props, gentlemen! This was a fun one to write. I had it in mind when I wrote the original, but hadn’t even considered writing it until someone mentioned it in the comments. :)
