Tunnel Prompt

“Are you in place Houdini?”

Weiss jumped at the initial crackle of the radio, then relaxed as the normally grating voice of Jack Bristow echoed through the room.

“Affirmative,” he replied after carefully glancing around.

The CIA needed to intercept a package that was purportedly to be transferred in this park. Weiss shook his head. Why did it have to be a tunnel? He’d never cared much for closed in spaces. Yeah, during the times of actions, moving through such confined spaces was alright, because you were doing something, thoughts occupied with something else.

But sitting in a closed space, waiting… was never fun.

“Requesting radio silence,” he finally asked, after glancing at his watch and realizing that the rendezvous should happen shortly.

The radio crackled once more and then fell silent and Weiss resumed his watch over the park, gun at the ready. Soon this would be over and he could go home.
