...if they ARE out to get you!
The following recording was whispered into a wireless mic by our undercover agent, who we believe was lost at the end of this action.

Oh-nine hundred, I leave my domicile heading eastbound on the sidewalk. The weather is overcast and moderately warm. My mission is to go to the local strip mail and make inquiries concerning cases codenamed "OmegaFord" and "FishCarp".
As the storm door closes very silently shut, I spot an OCHA** about 40 yards north-north-east of me. I turn up the lapels of my trench coat and hope I've not been spotted.

Oh-nine-oh-five hundred hours, with heightened alertness, I take exactly three paces forward on the aforementioned sidewalk and turn my head slightly but keep my face lowered and partly covered with my hat.
I spot another OCHA, this one is only 10 yards from the first one in a more northerly direction. I slowly and smoothly reach into my trench coat and pull my service gun (bureau serial number 38492) loaded with 9mm semi-jacketed hollow points from its holster.

Oh-nine-oh-eight hundred hours, with adrenaline pumping, I raise my armor-lined black briefcase to shield my face. I then turn north onto another sidewalk. I see 3 more OCHAs at map coordinate A4-7F. I am badly outnumbered and without backup. I think to myself, what would James Bond do?
I walk nonchalantly down the sidewalk. The OCHAs I spotted previously coming out the door have crossed over the driveway behind me. When I am just about in front of the OCHA stationed at the mailbox cluster, I suddenly and with great violence pick "him" up and stuff "him" into the trashcan while shooting the two OCHAs behind "him". Turning around swiftly and while diving into the back of the Joy truck, I fire two more shots at the OCHAs tailing me.
Stepping quickly through the truck, I shove the driver out of the vehicle and accelerate away... Suddenly a chopper appears overhead as I careen down the driveway. Three air-to-surface missiles streak from the chopper bracketing the truck, their explosions ventilate the vehicle from bumper to bumper as I head over the nearby curb and onto the sidewalk and across the yard where I speed toward the swimming pool. OCHAs suddenly appear from the pool-side cabana and I ....

Postscript: Our 'missing' agent was later located in bed with a very attractive member of the opposite sex. Yes... this is indeed what James Bond would have done.
Notes: I originally thought I would write this saying, "What would Inspector Gadget do?" but I thought the idea was truly ridiculous and everyone would think "now that's totally ludicrous."
I then thought "What would Tom Hanks do?" thinking 'Saving Private Ryan' or even 'Forrest Gump'. Unfortunately the only thing that came to mind was 'Wilson! Wilson! Where are youuuuu Wilson!?!?!?', so this entry was written the way it was. I'm sorry, Ian Fleming, I really am.

Definitely better than a Saving Private Ryan or Forrest Gump style writing. You're sense of humor is going to be my undoing.
You and me both Chicago. At least he put me in James Bond mode and let me live (and being in bed with a hottie didnt hurt either ;) )
I lost what day today was. Will come back tomorrow. LOL (i cant keep up no more)
You know Iggy, I think you should seriously consider writing Childrens books, novels actually we may have the next harriet potter on our hands..
Anxiously awaits the next chapter...
Fantastic writing Iggy. You have me so cracking up. Really you should write for a living. I so enjoy the adventures on here. Thank you for my smile of the day.

Aw, I'm blushing, thank you.
Ladystyx - I certainly couldn't leave you MIA and presumed dead. :)
I want to thank Ladystyx again for the pictures and their captions, without which, this entry would have never been written.
Aussie - Hmmm... something like 'Mister Kotter and the Sorcerer's Cone', huh? :)
Umm Iggy depends on what the sorcerors cone turns out to be LOL
