Stories by Memo, 2: Mossad Goes to Rome

This one is a bit more explanatory just by a careful reading of the emails.

RE: The Rome Job

Hi,

I have arrived in Rome as ordered, and I have made contact with the BND representative. This is a spy? Boss, this is a shiksa I can't work with. Are you truly meshuge now?

I am a perfect spy, by your own evaluation, because I am not noticeable—not ugly nor handsome, but simply an accountant who fell in with the wrong people; I am not James Bond, and no one ever sees me. I am low key, I blend in, I disappear. This lady from Germany... oh my God. Have you SEEN her? This girl makes everyone in Bond central casting look drab in comparison. I won't be able to walk down he street without being seen.

As for the mission: everything is going well thus far. I heard about Raqman Yousef. Ramzi Yousef's brother, huh? Though what I've heard is that he was shot by someone in a priest uniform—which I can only suppose is good cover considering the Vatican is just down the street.

However, I must ask, what is the head of an al-Qaeda think tank doing in Rome, and why was he making daily visits to the Vatican?

And haven't you talked to your boss yet about getting the name changed on your email? “Number 2” makes you sound like something out of “The Prisoner”.

-Scott.

Scott,

1) First of all, stop with the Yiddish. You're an Irish Catholic from Boston, and you're in the GOYIM Brigade for a reason. Remember it.

2) The BND operative you are working with comes highly recommended. She is the Israel desk, and has forwarded the Institute numerous bits of useful information, despite her own government's varying hostility. And she has worked with our agents in the field, they all approved—and if you suggest that she slept with any of them for that approval, she will probably twist your head off, and I will sanction it.

3) As for Yousef, that's the question you're there to answer.

Finally.... of course it sounds like “The Prisoner”. Given where we work, it makes sense.
