~yes again...catsma is on the road. she'll be back soon!

"HEY MIKEY!" Michael heard Ursula’s voice as though it were coming to him from a dream. He tried to shake off the daydream he had been having... There had been a basement, a van, and someone had needed a bathroom break... hmmm

"What...What my little turtle dove?" Michael tried to smooth over his lapse in concentration to focus in on what Ursula was saying.

Scoo sighed and twirled the chain she was holding in one hand. "Oh great...mushy stuff."

Michael whipped his head around to stare at Scoo, her long blonde hair up under a familiar looking floppy brown hat. **I thought ‘chelle had gotten rid of that darn thing!** Michael directed his gaze down to her other hand which held the shiny rappelling hook, a wicked looking thing, but out of all of them, Scoo had the most experience with chains and metal ... uh appliances. So it was only logical that she handle that part of the mission.

"I said, Oh Michael, could you make it 5 megahertz then?" Ursula tried not to sound as exasperated as she felt. Really...what did he THINK she said?

Michael finally understood the question. **He was going to have to stop dozing off during missions...these daydreams about his Women were going to get him killed!** "Yes, we might be able to hear the conversation in the building better if we changed the megahertz... you two know what you have to do?" Both women nodded their heads and Michael sighed. I have to go and make sure the rest of the team is ready. We have to get this mission right on the first try." The two women were too busy discussing the chain links to make any further comments, so Michael turned and went in search of the other team members.

"I wonder what this button does?" Caro was looking around the pilfered Section van and giggling over all the new and exciting gadgetry.

"Careful Caro!" Kate said, "Didn’t you read my memo on Haiku’s? Now be careful...we don’t want anything to blow up on accident!"

The perimeter alarm around the van activated and Kate suddenly turned her attention back to her computer screen. "Someone’s coming." Caro ran to the window and looked out. "It’s Michael Kate...quick .. let him in!!!"

The door to the van whooshed open and the exhausted operative bounded into the van. "How is everything here?" He was starting to doubt his decision to include his beloved writers on this mission. He didn’t know what he would do if any harm came to any of them. But this mission was too important. Too many people were counting on the success of this mission.

"Oh, we’re just dandy! Everything is working like clockwork...Don’t worry about us any..." Caro piped up. Kate had turned her attention back to the screen and started muttering about how it all seemed easier on paper than it did when you actually had to do it!

Michael placed his tanned hands on his slim hips and nodded his head in approval. This might just work! Then something occurred to him..."Where’s Zzoo? Wasn’t she here when I left?"

Kate, never taking her eyes from the screen replied, "She started mumbling something about having to go get her uzi...Hey? Where did he go?"
