Secret Agent:The Forests of Finland Part 1/4




At times Sven's work was predictable....

 Yes, different escape route....
...but same bullets...always inscribed with the same name....Sven....
Other than being shot at, the only other affliction Sven feared sustaining was repetitive mental injury-what is commonly referred to as boredom...
In actual fact, it was if Sven was treading in the same footsteps of Icelandic Secret Agents preceding him....

80 years ago...
They were getting closer....

and Professor Utforska knew it....
Poisoned darts...clubs...bows and arrows...an anthropologist's definition of fun...
Professor Utforska nervously hoped that swimming wasn't a universal skill but only limited to Scandinavians...

Phew!
Elevator music. Why couldn't they play something triumphant whenever Sven victoriously returned from a mission not lounge music.
Present day Iceland Secret Service HQ...in an elevator-going up...
Miss Sekretare:Travelling anywhere exciting for you next holiday, Sven?
Double 0 Sven:What's the point. I get sent to exotic places when on mission. And I don't even get to collect the air miles because it is always top secret so I can never present the ticket!
Miss Sekretare:Well your next mission is rumoured to be more than normal-paranormal....
Just that instant Magnus entered...

Magnus:You overheard correctly Miss Sekretare, Double 0 Sven's  mission requires him to delve into mysterious forests of Finland....It's local so no need to feel that you are mising out on the airmiles.s

To be Continued...

  2. Sven is a complex person, his ennui is palpable in the opening and adds interesting depth to his character. Great intro, I can tell this is going to be something special.
