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

  *****

  Agent Smith came into Captain Wright’s office delicately holding his graph.

  “What’s up, Smith?”

  “Remember that graph you said I should keep working on, six months ago?”

  “Yes Smith, I remember,” lied Wright, frowning at the jagged line that Smith was holding under his nose. “So?”

  “These are the crimes that have been committed over the last six months. And here, yesterday, there’s nothing. Zero crimes yesterday!”

  “No crimes yesterday?”

  “Yep, Captain, no crimes. It doesn’t make any sense; it’s even a bit suspicious”

  “You’re right, Smith. This sounds like a case for you. I’d investigate that right away; before someone commits another crime.”

  “Right, Captain Wright,” answered Agent Smith. “I’ll get right on it.”

  “Good, Smith,” sighed Captain Wright. “And don’t forget your chart.”
