I ignored Jason&#8217;s sibilant protests and searched as quickly as I could.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Wait!

I <em>felt a fleeting pang of regret<\/em> for abandoning Lyudmila, but she had her hands full. Upstairs was a peg-legged man <em>muffled in a dark cloak<\/em>, and two diminutive people in black bodysuits. &#8220;Splinter cell representatives,&#8221; Jason lisped. From a cabinet he took a small black book. &#8220;Logbook,&#8221; he explained.<\/p>\n<p>A ponderous groaning noise came from the basement, startling the lone pirate and his two ninja companions. They ran outside, meaning to steal Lyudmila&#8217;s chopper. But when Time and Trouble snarled at them, <em>they fled incontinently<\/em> across the street. I laughed and shook my head. Taking the book, I said, &#8220;I can take it from here. You have to maintain your cover.&#8221; Jason nodded.<\/p>\n<p>Two blocks away, people were lined up at a barber shop. I veered to the opposite sidewalk as I saw three men <em>step out of the queue<\/em> and head my way. Yet another faction had entered the game: the sanitation workers union. Unless their beef was with me, personally. It was possible. They took the blame for the Pensacola Debacle after I <em>denied having the dumpsters emptied<\/em> behind the stadium.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Stichomancy Writing Prompts\" href=\"http:\/\/runeskelley.com\/skelleyverse\/stichomancy-writing-prompts\/\">about stichomancy writing prompts<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/runeskelley.com\/skelleyverse\/stichomancy-writing-prompt-generator\/\">try our stichomancy writing prompt generator!<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>denied having the dumpsters emptied muffled in a dark cloak they fled incontinently step out of the queue felt a fleeting pang of regret Tune In Next Time Part 47\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Click Here for Earlier Installments It wasn&#8217;t the plan I thought we [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[319,4],"tags":[417,116,110,403],"class_list":["post-3525","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-stichomancy-prompts","category-writing-prompts","tag-helicopter","tag-ninja","tag-pirate","tag-tune-in-next-time"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/runeskelley.com\/skelleyverse\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3525","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/runeskelley.com\/skelleyverse\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/runeskelley.com\/skelleyverse\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/runeskelley.com\/skelleyverse\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/runeskelley.com\/skelleyverse\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3525"}],"version-history":[{"count":9,"href":"https:\/\/runeskelley.com\/skelleyverse\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3525\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4294,"href":"https:\/\/runeskelley.com\/skelleyverse\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3525\/revisions\/4294"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/runeskelley.com\/skelleyverse\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3525"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/runeskelley.com\/skelleyverse\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3525"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/runeskelley.com\/skelleyverse\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3525"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
