The Mystery Code

The Mystery Code. She is tapping on the glass with her finger nails. The sound is like pins dropping on a tiled floor. Their eyes meet through the hazy glass door, as she enters the bar, no words are exchanged. She is small and stocky, a birth mark covers her neck, her eyes are green, her hair is bleached blonde. She wears a tight mini skirt, nylon v neck sweater and plastic black boots. She looks tired. The man she meets sits down in a corner seat furthest from the bar. His appearance is different from other men. He is very, very tall, with grey eyes, a beaky nose, a thin mouth, he resembles a bird in his dark suit. Blondie opens her handbag, she she pulls out what looks like a calculator. The bird man looks agitated, he uses sign language, his hands move at great speed. Blondie responds back in sign language, and he relaxes back into his seat. There is an air of mystery around this odd looking couple, he opens his brief case on the table, Blondie peers inside. She smiles and nods at Bird man. He types something into the calculator machine, then stares hard at the time on the clock on the wall, as if waiting for something to take place. Little do they know that they are being observed by an under cover agent that is stood by the bar. Blondie signs something quickly and Bird man swiftly puts the calculator machine in his brief case and snaps it shut. He tucks the brief case away by his legs. The couple make a quick exit from the bar, all the while the secret agent is watching their every move. Later that week birdman arrives back in the bar, he sits in the same corner seat. A man in a dark suit buys a pint and joins him. He has a beard, and is wearing tinted glasses, they both put their brief cases on the table at the same time. They look at the clock on the wall. They both begin typing inside their brief cases, syncronized in their movements, like two robots. The secret agent contacts headquaters on his head set. He is concerned something serious is about to take place. He has been observing Birdman for several months. It is critical not to blow his cover. He is in the enemy camp, he has to follow orders.
