“Closer, move him closer,” Jacs whispered.
“I’ve got it!”
“So move him closer.”
“Shut…..!”
Which he did for about five seconds. “I can’t hear.”
“Well,” Tim whispered, “if you’d just shut up and let me work…..”
“Okay….”
Another five seconds.
“Hurry.”
“SHUT UP!”
“You are the only person I know who can shout in a whisper.”
Tim ignored him, jumping the grasshopper inside the door.
“Oh, look, a grasshopper.” Female. Footsteps like thunder.
“Crap!” in unison.
The woman tossed the grasshopper out.
“Thank god. If the BugsMilitaryListeningDevice prototype had been destroyed, we’d be in deep you-know-what!”
But it hadn’t.
Success!

Dear Connie,
Perhaps a listening device that didn’t really look like a ‘bug’ would stand a better chance. 😉 Nicely done.
Shalom,

Whilst insects can go where they want, I do think there’s a high risk of them being squashed if they go where people don’t want them. On one hand it’s a great way of delivering a listening device, but risky

True. Probably not the best place to test the device.

Really enjoyed the dialogue, you told us a lot about the characters by how you presented their constant bantering.

I don’t think I would choose them for such a demanding operation. 😀 Loved it!
