The young mice were very baffled by this conversation. They’d never heard their father use the name “Smith” before, let alone “Agent”, and they had no idea who Whiskers was.
“I didn’t realise. Let me help.” Whiskers climbed up the metal bars at the front of the cage and slid open the fasteners. The door fell open. “It’s an old trick,” he said, smiling. “People just don’t realise how easy it is to escape from one of these things.”
Delighted, Florence leapt down to be with her family. Whiskers followed suit, and he and Windsor exchanged a special paw shake with only three fingers extended instead of the usual five.
“If you knew how to get out, why didn’t you escape before?” India asked Whiskers, confused.
“Oh, unlike Florence here I wasn’t captured. It’s my job to hang out here. I keep an eye on the animals, so that your father and the rest of MI29 can intervene if there’s a problem.”
“MI29?” asked Sydney, Rio, Florence and India as one.
Windsor cleared his throat. “Right, well. Bye now, Whiskers, and thank you for your help.”
“All part of the job,” said Whiskers, winking.
“Yes, yes. Now come along, children. Your mother will be worried.”
“Use the vent over there and once you get through to the ducting, follow the arrows in the dust on the wall marked with an ‘A’ for Arrivals, Windsor. You know the way from there,” said Whiskers. “See you at the party!”
As they hurried back to the lost property cupboard, the mice bombarded their father with questions:
“How do you know Whiskers?”
“What party?”
“What’s MI29?”
Finally, seeing that his children weren’t about to give up, Windsor stopped, scratched his head thoughtfully, looked about the deserted air duct in which they were standing, sighed, cleared his throat and then whispered, “All right. I guess you’re old enough now to know. My job is not, as you thought, testing cheese in the airport restaurant. I work for MI29 – the top branch of Mouseweb International. I am…a spy.”
Rio gaped at India. India blinked at Florence. Florence ooooo-ed at Sydney. Sydney grinned at Rio. Their dad? A spy?
Life, it seemed, was about to get a lot more exciting. Like a pungent Cheddar, they could almost smell the adventure in the air.
