“He might
have escaped by taking the bus or train.”
“Perhaps
by the gondola...”
The two
sleuths continued their conversation at the café overlooking the area where
they lost track of the mysterious man, who they suspected was a terrorist.

“How does
he always know our plans?”
“This is
the third time he has escaped in the last week.”
The pretty waitress checked the latest messages on her phone.
She was
receiving top-secret info that was meant for one of the spies!
That’s
how she always escaped!
The
sleuths didn’t know that it was ‘she’, who was spying on them.

ReplyDeleteReminds me of a Sydney Sheldon novel . I don't remember the name.An assassin is described throughout the novel and at the very end it's revealed that it's a she . Good one
ReplyDeleteI like your twist. But I hope the criminal does get caught. Several months ago, I got an email that was not intended for me, but I thought it was and responded. I still think it was a passive-agressive act by the sender to me.
ReplyDeleteThat was a good unexpected twist.
ReplyDeleteYou always come up with novel ideas.
