Fernando entered the dimly lit nightclub, he was wearing sunglasses so it made seeing even more difficult. stumbling over his feet as he approached the bar. In the background Johnny Rivers was singing Secret Agent Man. Arriving at the bar, Fernando told the bartender. "Tequila, shaken not stirred."

"Oooooh." A sultry voice purred as he turned and saw a stunning brunette standing next to him. "Who might you be stranger?"
she inquired.

"De La Rosa, Fernando De La Rosa." He said in his best secret agent voice which unfortunately made him sound like he had a
sore throat.

"I'm Bambi. Buy me a drink Fernando..... please. I'd be oh so grateful." As she shimmed up to him.

A drink? Of course. Barkeep a Pepsi on the rocks for the lady. Now Bambi you must excuse me. I have business to attend to. Perhaps
later you can show me how grateful you are."

"Yeah right. Sure thing Fernando." Then in a lower voice "Cheap bastard." She griped as she stared sullenly at her Pepsi.

However Fernando didn't hear her as he had moved to sit at a table and await his contact. He didn't have long to wait as an old man in sunglasses
came stumbling up and into to his table and sat down. "It's me The Chief." He whispered. "Double 0014?" (Because Fernando was twice as good as James Bond).

"That's me, What's my mission Chief?"

"It's serious 0014. You have to stop Egg Foo Young. That criminal mastermind has seized control of the world's egg market! Do you know what that means?"

"I should stock up on eggs now?" Fernando inquired.

"Worse. No more Egg McMuffins. Just McMuffins, No more omelet's No more sausage, egg and cheese biscuits. Family breakfast could become a thing of the past. No more egg salad, deviled eggs or hard boiled eggs. This could put the whole summer picnic industry into a tailspin. I don't even want to think about the holiday season and no eggnog." The Chief moaned.

"Never fear Chief. I'll stop that mad man and give our people back their breakfast and family picnics. Not to mention eggnog. You can count on me."

"Um. yes. You'll have to do." Chief whispered. "We have reliable information that Egg is at his summer home, Two Egg Castle. Cause why have one egg when you can have two?"

Fernando stood up. "I'll get right on it Chief." He said confidently as he moved to the door and opened it …..and walked into a closet. Recovering quickly, Fernando exited the closet and found his way to the door to begin his search for Egg Foo Young and stop his mad plan.

"Heaven help us." The Chief groaned as he watched the entire proceedings. His head falling into his hands.
