Gambit at Sea

Hope you folks don't mind but we flew all the way from Pearl and refueled over the Northern California coast and I gotta pee. Mel commented that Navy pilots have all that sea water around them and tiny bladders seem to plague them. Lori chuckled and says right this way Major the bathroom is down the hall to the left. Everyone turned for the moment to follow Lori and the major forgetting about the co-pilot still in his plane. While the Major was in the bathroom, Lori returned to the kitchen and prepared a larger meal for their guests, Larry continued the briefing; I want you to steal that plane from its hangar in Butte Arizona. Well if I'm going to steal it I can't think of a better time than right now he said jokingly. At that moment the co-pilot had walked into the house and spoke for the first time: I would have to shoot you for trying sir! Mel had not turned to see who had spoken but inside he felt like the very breath in his body had been knocked out of him. He knew the person who who belong to that voice, but it couldn't be she was dead. She'd been killed by an assassin at least that was the story he'd been told. With his heart in his throat and tears streaming down his face he turned to see none other than Carol dressed in a blue flight suite, The emblems of the British Air force on her shoulders, her long blond hair up in a bun. Carol’s eyes too were filled with tears as she ran into his arms both he and her forgetting where they were, he hugged her and she hugged him back, I'm sorry; I'm British secret service and I was under strict orders from my superiors I couldn't tell you who I was or my mission orders, meeting and falling for you wasn't part of the plan Mel. At the time when we met and traveled to Alexandria together my superiors had been contacted by your president to investigate the vice president, at the time we knew there were terrorist cells working in America and the UK and the Blacks whom your vice president was close friends with were suspected to be among them.
