The super agent who got distracted by the scenery

word of the day is scurry as to scamper about

Super agent 005 wasn't the the most productive, efficient and or committed of her majesty's super agents. Reason being simple. Super agent 005 was easy distracted by the scenery. Historical monuments, ancient fortifications and long forgotten landscapes distracted him from his daily activities of chasing curvaceous spies or killing a few bad guys. Arriving in an exotic landscape agent 005 first consulted the Baedekers guide even before he checked the hotel room for listening devices or parallel blonds draped across the hotel bed.

In an era before cell phones it was annoying for headquarters to locate agent 005 in  Jamaica or Istanbul to start a new assignment of saving the British empire. Slowly strolling through the Art museum in a short sleeve silk shirt agent 005 would have to pried away from admiring the medieval paintings and artifacts. However once aroused and on the job agent 005 would stealthily scurry about spinning redheads and improvising kinetically to manage and subdue the environment to again rescue Western civilization. Later, finally alone and exhausted 005 would leisurely read Caesar's commentary on ancient Gaul.
