Max and 99 walked into the Chief's office. They exchanged hellos.
"We've decide to issue you with a shoe phone, 99."
"I've often wondered why I wasn't given one before."
"Max's was an experimental model. CONTROL his decided to issue them to all its agents. Here, 99,"
He had a shoe box on the table. He gave it to her, and she opened it. Inside was a pair of black pumps.
She smiled. "Nice!"
"Now the phone is in the right shoe. There's a little compartment that opens up."
"I see it." She opened it. "It's a touch-tone!"
"Mine is a rotary!," said Max.
"We wanted to use the latest technology," said the Chief. "Now, you speak through the heel, and listen through the toe. One there's the phone number. Memorize it and eat it, you two."
He gave them slips of paper, and kept one for himself. They stared at them for about 30 seconds, then ate them."
"Mmm, white chocolate," said Max.
"Our labs came up with special edible paper," said the Chief.
99 slipped her shoes off.
"Nice toenails," said Max. Her toes were bright red, under her hose.
She smiled. "Thank you, Max!" She put the new shoes on.
"How do they feel," the Chief asked.
"A little tight."
"All new shoes are a little tight," said Max.
"You are a size 7, aren't you?"
"Yes, I am, Chief."
"Good."
"Hey, let's test the phone."
"Good idea, Max," said 99."
She and Max crossed their legs and took their right shoes off.
"I'll call you. Er, what's the phone number?"
"Max!," said the Chief.
"Oh, I do remember it."
He dialed the number. 99's shoe rang.
"Hello."
"Hi, 99."
"Hi, Max."
"I see your phone works."
"Yes, it does."
"Well, I'll see you around, I guess."
"You can see me now, Max!"
He looked at her. "Oh, yeah! Well, nice seeing you again."
"You too, Max. Bye."
"Bye."
They hung up and put their shoes back on.
"That's all, for now."
Max and 99 left."
