Written for the Friday Fictioneers. A story, about hunting for a superspy, begins after the photo.
Genre: Espionage/Humor

Superspy
Khalid and Adeem were on the lookout when Khalid saw the woman walking across the stones. “That’s him,” he pointed.
“Him? That’s a woman!”
“Exactly! Of course the English spy, that Count of Clever, that King of Koncealment, would use clothing to fool us.”
“I think I’ve seen her before,” whined Adeem.
“Exactly. He used her clothing.”
“But…”
“The Duke of Disguise won’t escape!” Khalid aimed carefully and…
Both men collapsed suddenly, tranquilized from behind by Mitchell Mann, MI-6’s Agent 003.
The old woman gave him a gloved thumbs up. Mann saluted back and looked down.
“You forgot one: Master of Misdirection!”

Good fun. Snappy dialogue and clever ending. I like Adeem – I think they’d have fared better if he’d been in charge.
