Mission #2 has gone on a bit longer than Caiden had anticipated.

The sedentary life of study … study … study …

Coupled with a 3 meals-a-day diet of Beanie Weenies …

has him feeling like a flabby lump.

He decided to return to the am PT routine he had been accustomed to doing back in the barracks with his platoon.

His feet were heavy and his steps plodding as he fought to overcome his body’s beanie weenie stupor.

This was definitely going to take a bit of time to reverse.

Not only did it tighten and tone, but he found the exercise had the added benefit of relieving the stress that came from his daily dealings with jungle vermin.

Yep, that mouse is a wily little bugger.  He is still alive and kicking.

Besting Caiden at every encounter.

I personally think Caiden should start feeding it the beanie weenies.

Couple days of that and he would pack his tiny bags and move out!

Plus the stress and trauma that comes from trying to keep it sunny by using that obstinate weather machine.

Zaps him at will.

Been a few times that Caiden worried his heart might stop.

Exercise was even way better at stress relief than the booze which, TBH, he tried a few times.

Sadly it left him in a whole ‘nother kind of stupor.

Not optimal for Missions success.

Caiden enjoyed the new taskings in this Mission.

He had his little pack of listening bugs and before you know it he had peppered the local populace with them.

He was pretty sure no one else knew of his duplicitous actions.

He was confident that he had passed himself off as just an overly friendly and very demonstrative tourist.

Returning to the Safehouse he would dutifully spend hours listening and compiling data that he relayed to CID Intel.

They would run his findings thru their code busting databases and return any info that he might find useful to help complete the mission.

His biggest challenge has been the romancing!  

Not sure if it is his goofy trait but he strikes out continually.

Try a little flirt …

and it is “Umm, I don’t really like you like that.  You are more like my brother.”

Get the beautiful girl off in a corner for a bite to eat and some sweet convo when a big old uninvited third-wheel comes and plops himself down at your table.

Girls like presents, right?

OHH, that did not go over so well!

Strike one!

Strike two!

Strike three!

Dude!  You are outta here!

He has to do something.

Tonight HAS to be the night.

Time for a little pep talk  …

and a wee bit of liquid courage!

Then with great resolve, he steps back no the ring for round two!

A little snuggle by the bonfire.

Hey Caiden, I think she is warming up to you.

Come on Caiden work it!

So far so good …

AND THEN … Kablammo!

Mission accomplished!

“I always feel like someone is watching me!”

“It was like this you see …….”
