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

  *****

  Agent Smith returned to the office from his two-day stake-out and immediately got to work typing out his report. It was ready the next day and he entered Captain Wright’s office with it. “It’s all here, Captain,” he announced.

  “What’s all here, Smith?” mumbled Wright, eyeing the ten page report. “Oh yeah... the vacant lot. So what did you find?”

  “Nothing, sir. It’s still vacant; I can’t figure it out. This is a tough one. I have the list of the plate numbers of all the cars that drove by it. But not a single one parked there.”

  Captain Wright slowly scratched his chin. “Well uhh... good job, Smith I think you should go back there for another day or so. You never know...”

  “Right, Captain,” answered Agent Smith. I’ll just get a fresh pad of paper and a new pencil, then I’m off.”
