QUICK-WITTED AGENTS

It takes a lot of with and quick thinking to come up with bright and helpful ideas that would mark operations’ successes, like what two agents were able to exhibit during one surveillance operation. 

The two agents were assigned to conduct a surveillance operation where they were required to take photos of their subject and the suspect. So they went to the area and positioned themselves for a stakeout, keeping an eye at almost every corner and making sure that they would immediately spot the targets as soon as they appear. However, hours already passed by; neither the subject nor the suspect showed up. 

Still alert, they waited for the moment they were all waiting for which, after some time, finally arrived. And there they were – the subject and the suspect appearing together. Seizing the moment, one of the agents immediately tried to find a place where he could take pictures. But since the area was not conducive to such an operation as they had no service car that time and they could not take photos discreetly, they were pushed to resort to something else. 

Soon, a pedicab passed by and an agent, not wasting any time, talked to its driver. He asked the said driver how much his boundary was and told him that he would be to pay the full cost of it as long as he would be allowed to use the vehicle. Completely persuaded, the driver agreed. So the two agents quickly boarded the pedicab. And like what they thought of, they took photos of the subject and suspect which they were able to do with so much ease while they were inside the said pedicab. 

In the end, they were successful in their mission that they were commended for their winning idea and strategy.
