Day 3
Shanna makes it to the safe house and sits at the table, grinning. Agent #19 and Hoover had planned their plot to perfection! Her phone vibrates in her pocket. Another text.
Shanna: (Reading aloud) Gab transformed. Transvestite in possession. Call contact.
She starts to dance – getting “Low” with Flo Rida. Getting herself under control, she grabs her phone and dials a number. Lyn answers on the first ring.
Lyn: Did you get the goods?
Shanna: We found the closet. You should see all the frilly coats and undergarments we found!
Lyn: Great. Now, here’s what you need to do:
(Shanna hears the door open to the safe house and glances up to find 19 and Hoover standing in the doorway. She switches the phone to speaker and they surround the table, listening intently.)
Lyn: I want you to take the goods into the basement, and wait for my arrival. One of you should wear the most extravagant piece of Hoover’s clothing and wear it. When I get there I will be dressed in male garments so don’t be alarmed.
Shana: How will we know that you are who you say you are?
Lynn: I’ll knock on the door 4 times, and after the last knock I’ll say the secret word: potato.
Shanna: (She clasps a hand to her mouth trying to contain her laughter.) *clears throat* Alright.
The phone line goes dead. Shanna replaces the phone and looks from 19 to Hoover.
Shanna: Where’d you put Gabriella?
19: No need to worry. She won’t be going anywhere.
(They all share a look, smiling.)
Hoover: (decisively) I’ll wear the clothing.
19: Do you think that’s a good idea? You’ll have to face Lyn if you dress up. She might recognize you.
Hoover: (smiles like the Cheshire cat) That’s the plan.
Shanna and 19 glance at each other, confused.
Hoover: (claps his hands.) No time to waste. We need to get ready. (Looking at 19.) I’ll go to the closet and get dressed, you and Shanna get Gabriel.
Hoover hurries out of the room. Both Shanna and 19 head out a few minutes later.
Shanna: Let the games begin.
