The Naked Double Agent

Before the meal, Kelly and Haley had been given a choice of two superpowers to obtain for the evening and left to decide between themselves who would take which. One was a boring ability to perfectly recall the dinner conversation later on, the other the chance to become a naked, invisible spy. It had seemed an absolute no brainer to Kelly which one she should go for. She had been stunned Haley hadn't fought her for it. Now though, she was reassessing the wisdom of her decision. In a restaurant there were really only two places to secretly infiltrate for the kind of information she needed - the men's and women's washrooms. Presently, she was in the men's.

She had noticed Philip glancing at his phone before announcing to the whole table he was going to the bathroom. rather than just heading there quietly like a normal person. That was Kelly's cue to spring into action as a naked 007. She also took a post starter break from the table, but instead of taking a trip to the ladies, she made herself disappear before sneaking in after Philip.

Kelly had, perhaps unsurprisingly, never ventured into a men's urinals before and quickly ascertained they were not as sanitary as their female equivalents. Going in there naked to maintain full invisibility meant Kelly being barefoot, and there was a suspicious sticky substance that she kept stepping on which she had to try hard not to think about too much. Kelly was definitely not feeling like James Bond right now. She walked silently past two of the waiters who were peeing next to each other on their break.

"What's with that table with all the hot chicks and the geeks?" she heard one whisper to the other.

After a quick sneak peak at their dicks, which Kelly's natural curiosity simply couldn't prevent her from carrying out despite her lack of attraction to either, she moved to within earshot of her actual target, Philip, who sure enough had only gone in there to use the phone. He was in the far corner of the room, talking quietly and facing the entrance.

"Hey Hols, I just thought I would give you the update you asked for, which is actually that so far there isn't much to update on..."

So he was on the phone to her Aunt Holly? His girlfriends mother? And he was allowed to call her Hols? That meant her aunt must like him a lot already. She figured Philip was probably the kind of boyfriend mothers dreamed about for their daughters, so he was probably deemed a best case scenario for a master as well. But it still felt weird that he would be sneaking off to the bathroom to phone her. And to update her on what exactly?

"Emily gave a signal to let us all know she thinks her test command worked on Haley. Tammy is going to do the same with Kelly later, so we can all reconvene with you at Maisie's place after we are done here. We can fill Kelly and Haley in on everything we are planning later on"

So, that was conclusive proof that Philip was a good guy who was on Kelly's side and plotting to free her and Haley from their nerdy overlords. Of course, it was assumed this kind of information would be passed onto her masters. But Kelly had no intention of working against her own self interests, and being a naked double agent seemed even hotter than being a regular nude spy anyway,

Kelly had long since decided that neither Carl nor Martin were anywhere near as smart as their dorkiness would suggest. While Carl was arguably even slower on the uptake than Martin, he at least worded his commands well. Martin's orders were always so damn sloppy they provided numerous loopholes for Kelly to exploit. For example, he had told her not to talk about the conversation they had earlier where they figured out that Tina couldn't be Emily's master. So Kelly was just going to text Emily about it later, once she had a bit of space and time to do so. She even wondered if she might be able to just straight out tell her verbally that they knew, as long as she didn't reference the actual conversation where that revelation was discussed. Perhaps she could do it during a non-invisible trip to the correct bathroom later when either Tammy or Emily went there.

Similarly, Kelly had only been told to use her invisibility skills to secretly obtain information on the other side. She had been given no instructions on what she should do with that information. She could say she heard nothing, or even make up something false or misleading. Which was just as well, as what she heard next would have been game changing information for her master.

"Yeah, I don't think anyone suspects Emily isn't who she says she is to try and check anyway. But I'm still glad we buffed up the command around Maisie's disguise after Tammy saw through it. I'd be much more nervous otherwise"

Holy. Shit. So Emily was really Kelly's aunt? Well, that suddenly made a lot of things make sense. She was kind of impressed at all of the planning and subterfuge that had been going on around her without her having a clue. But there was an obvious and gaping hole in their entire strategy.

Kelly loved Haley more than anyone else in the world. But, as things stood, she had to be treated as the enemy here. She was being so tightly controlled by her master that, if they were going to bring her over to Maisie's place to reveal their plans later, they might just as well invite Carl too. She had witnessed Haley helping her master against her own interests more than once already. It wasn't her cousins fault, of course, but right now she could only be trusted not to be trusted. It hurt, but Kelly was going to have to find a way to let the others know not to include Haley in any of their plotting, unless she was given false information. Although even that might be a risky strategy. Haley was the one opponent they had who wasn't an idiot and, if she saw through the deception and realised the others were trying to play her, that could be dangerous.

Sensing Philip was wrapping up his phone call, Kelly rushed from the men's washroom and into the women's where, thankfully finding it to be empty, she was able to reappear without freaking anyone out. She managed to emerge from there at the same time Philip did from his bathroom visit, the two of them locking eyes and smiling in friendly acknowledgement of each other. The mission had been a total success. For Kelly, that was. Not for her master.
