Touring, but espionage

 



The book concerns

A middle age

Un-spectacular.

CIA- inclined slugger.

Charles Alexander, so called.

He passes a distant

Airport

As if he were rolling out of bed.

Alerts no facial recognition toy.

And postures as if sight-seeing.


He has connection to a

Higher-up who bags

data and photos from

another higher-up.

Unattractive

She, Bertha, plays the eccentric sleuth

Tourist Locked away until

Satisfactory passwords issue.

She also plays her own

Side games that others

Pretend are going un- noticed.

Tax happy bank in Virgin Islands.

Balance building.

Has also killed a couple

Of yay-teamers who tried

To apply the screws.


Now our Tourist

Equipped with information

Finds his prey

And pops him without emotion

Or much struggle.

Small Luger, injection,

Restraints and arson.

One heavy fast errant car.

Interesting menu of options

To snuff.


Back to a different nation

And its airport.

Smuggled by friends

Border cross via

Unfenced mountainside road

Too narrow.

Or parching desert.

Job done.

Thank you Tourist.



But what if many 

Higher-ups have soured

Now hating Uncle Sam

And his methods?

Is our Tourist friend

On level ground?

Does he have regrettable

Currency on them?
