The Non-adventures of Agent Smith... and Other Tales

  *****

  Captain Wright walked up to Agent Smith’s desk. “They’ll be coming in to repaint the office this afternoon. So I’m sending you on a stake-out for the next two days.”

  “Hmm, sounds important,” replied Smith.

  “No, not really – that’s why we’re putting you on the case. I want you to cover a vacant lot, near the corner of Third Street and Main. We’ve been wondering why it’s always vacant. I’ll be expecting your report, later on this week.”

  “You’re right, Captain Wright. It does seem suspicious. I’ll get right on it.”

  “Good, Smith. The paint should be dry by then.”
