Transferring it now.
Next time, head to the rendezvous!

About Microfiction Monday
Microfiction means the shortest of short stories. Think Aesop's fables, comic strips, or even jokes: complete stories that can be told in under a minute. For this game, the limit is a tweetable 140 characters or fewer.
Hate counting letters and spaces? Try Design 215's character counter, which will count for you as you type. Microsoft Word will count for you too, of course, as part of its word count feature under the 'Review' tab.
Photos will be from my own archives; illustrations are from Dover Publications' free clipart sample newsletter.
And finally, why 140? A whole new fiction market has arisen via mobile phone texting and Twitter, who limits 'tweets' to 140 characters including spaces and punctuation. It's fast, it's fiction, it's fun.

Sounds like lines from a movie I'd like to see! Excellent to read a 140-character thriller.
TY Susan - hope you get the Washer situation worked out. Our A/C is out... and i forgot to get the trash out... 8/
I love the suspense, spies among us.
Very true to life with our newly found, Russian spies, just caught.
Ooh, I love the intrigue and suspense. Now I want to know the outcome!
Great MM post!
Intriguing! Wonder what the data contained?
It does sound like a Thriller, I hope they are able to get away before the other come. Nice take on the picture.
Love it! So were these spies recruited at birth? Or is it a way for teen-age girls to pay for their clothes and makeup and laptops? LOL
This is interesting. I think this is pretty neat actually!
All right, spies! Great entry.
Secrets and espionage. Loved it!
This is fun...and you did a great job. :-) Susan
