Agent

The mission was a simple one.

Simple, but absolutely vital to the country’s national security. He’d been handpicked by the chief. The briefing that took place in MI6’s headquarters went for two hours. He was to fly out the following day, meet up with an overseas agent, who would provide him with copies of confidential military documents. There would be a parcel with a great number of these, wrapped and sealed for him to bring back. Airport security had been informed of this, allowing him to return through customs without a hitch. He had a hotel room booked for two nights to cover any contingencies.

The next day, after landing, he went directly to his hotel. The flight had been bumpy and he felt slightly jetlagged when he landed. He had time to relax in his room before meeting up with his fellow agent that same day.

As arranged, the two agents met on a park bench, where the material would be passed over. It was immediately apparent that no parcel had been brought. The agent explained that the documents could only be accessed, one section at a time and copied. This had been done over a number of days. He said that it was all there. It had been decided to load these files onto a tiny flash drive, which had been hermetically sealed in polythene.

It was suggested that the reason for the change of format should be explained verbally to his chief in MI6, owing to the delicate nature and complex method used to gather the information. On parting, a shake of the hand allowed the small item to pass between them.

That evening he dined in the hotel’s restaurant; the food and drink being accompanied by the small object. At the desk, he informed them that he intended to leave the next day. He was still not feeling the best and considering that his mission had been completed, the sooner he got home, the better.

It was late when he got to his room, and he was very tired. He would call the chief when he got back home with an update.

On his arrival, he planned to get a taxi from the airport, going directly home.

That’s what should have happened.

Unhappily, crossing to the taxi rank he stepped in front of an airport bus.

There was no doubt about the cause of death.

No post mortem was required.
