"Yes, Mum, I'm here ...
I have sights on the target."

"Agent Young ..
prepare."

"To be fair ..
I was born ready."

"Just hold your gun steady.
This one's deadly.
Are we clear?"

"Very."

"Let's make it clean, Gary.
A single solitary shot
right between his green pupils."

"It's like a dream come true."

"On the count of 3 shoot him ...
1

*PEWN*

------------------------------------------------------------

I knew the usual procedure was to flee the murder scene
and to meet for an extraction with a certain urgency
So I placed my AR in a case that was shaped like a guitar
Then I hastily escaped and made my way into the park
As police cars darted towards the target I had sparked
I marched far enough away to evade their prison bars
But even if they'd caught me I was part of MI6
As a top-secret agent they would never take the risk
Of letting me be charged with a homicide or hit
Confidentially commissioned by the British Parliament
Once a sargeant called it in I would get a pardon quickly
By the chief of their department who'd be barked at by an MP

------------------------------------------------------

"Young, this is Mum, the extraction point has changed.
You should race towards the market there's a party on the way
of KGB agents -- your location has been traced."

"There's a traitor in our ranks?"

"As of now I can not say."

"Always ready for a tussle."

"If you see them don't engage.
The civilian population can't be privy to our games ..."

------------------------------------------------------

I stuffed the earpiece in my scarf
And dumped the gun case in the pond
Then I flung my collar up like my cover name was Bond
Sunk a glove inside my peacoat and I clutched my BFR
As the youngest agent ever my best weapon was my heart
As I trotted through a flock of ugly geese and lovely swans
Two jug-heads encroached me on the corner of each arm
At the moment I was touched I fucked them up with Krav Maga
Crushed one's Adam's apple whole ... punched the other in his jaw
With a sudden uppercut that made him crumble and then fall
Bet they never saw it coming cos they thought I was too small
I was taught by SAS it's not size of the dog, it's the fight & his balls
And I'm a tiger striped pit that can bite through a log

------------------------------------------------------

"Za Boy is over zerrre.
He's about to gets avay.
Avenge our murdid komrade
or he'll tuuuns in his grrrave!"


------------------------------------------------------

Blaired a square-headed Russian with a Dolph Lundgren face
In less than half a second it was off to the race
Being hawked by assassins, whom were all a disgrace
.
.
[In comparisons to I ...
Cos Agent Gary Young
will embarrass terrorist spies]
.
.
I arrived at the market ... eyed my driver in a Porsh
Made a horizontal dive through the opened side's door
Their bullets ricocheted and they binged right off the car
As we pealed off in a blaze leaving tire marks and smog!
.
.
My first time on an Op and it was everything I dreamed of
From watching James Bond, Ethan Hunt and sweet Nikita
A keeper of the creed and I will never leak the secrets
Of Her Majesty The Queen, the British Government or Kingdom
I'm more than just a spy or the "unofficial" type
I'm a clandestine knight that'll gladly give my life
In allegiance to my country and the freedom she provides!

*Topical battle verse written to the picture

LOL was this you vs vlad? I read his Ferris Wheel drop here just yesterday

[ACTIVATE SELF]

lol ... Yeah, man. Just noticed he posted here too.

[Diablo]

LOL

Okay, so I was unsure about the beginning section of dialogue and it rhyming, but I can see what you did there. Gary doesn't rhyme so well in my accent tbh but I can see it being enunciated to fit so it's no biggie. The rhyming sections that follows are a lot easier on the readers eye, more what I'm used to reading (and no doubt others are too). The guitar shaped case reminded me of Desperado, not sure if you're familiar with that at all, but that's the image that sprang to mind instantly for me as I read that. The British references were actually pretty on-point here with MI6/MP's etc and I enjoyed the James Bond name drop as well to give it some authenticity haha! The best weapon being the child's heart was another interesting line, for me, as despite the arsenal at the killers disposal his could be somewhat of a Chekhov's gun to bring into play later. I hope so at least, it would be good to recall this line later on and have it almost as a plot point that can get easily glossed over on first read. I think so at least. I'm typing as I read it so I have no idea what's to come as of writing this out... You misspelled a few words toward the end of this section that threw me a little at first. "Stumpled" should be "Stumbled" and "Stripped" should probably be "Striped", nothing major and I got the jist but it's something others may pick up on, especially as they're breaking down each verse and voting for a winner elsewhere LOL. I kind of wanted the piece to go somewhere else, maybe the Russians getting revenge or Gary Young somehow outwitting them all or a grand mask-reveal like Scooby Doo would end or even the Love As A Weapon thing I referenced earlier. It could have used more resolution either way really. It had a lot of build up but didn't really offer the pay off it promised for me this time. That said, the storylines narrative was pretty good and well told throughout. The Russians dialogue wasn't really needed IMO, you def had the better verse of the two I read though.

Keep that pen moving!

why does that picture remind me of Benedict Cumberbatch?

[Diablo]

He starred in Sherlock.

It's prob where the idea for the pic was inspired.
