"It will definitely be interesting to see the outcome of this one," Illya remarked as he and Napoleon took their seats in the audience at the Fernando Montes de Oca fencing hall at the 1968 Summer Olympics.

"You'll be rooting for your own country in each event, I assume," Napoleon replied.

"Naturally." Illya grinned. "As you will be rooting for your own, I am sure."

The fencing competition consisted of eight events: men's epee, men's team epee, men's foil, men's team foil, men's sabre, men's team sabre, women's foil, and women's team foil. Although the United States and the Soviet Union each had twenty fencers participating in the competition, the United States didn't win any medals, while the Soviet Union won gold medals in men's team sabre, women's foil, and women's epee team foil, and silver medals in men's epee, men's team epee, men's team foil, and men's sabre.

"Now I suppose you're going to rub it in all the way home," Napoleon grumbled.

"Rub what in?" Illya was confused.

"Never mind." Napoleon chuckled sarcastically.

"I am sorry that your country did not win any medals in fencing," Illya told his friend.

"That's all right," Napoleon laughed. "We did win medals in other events."

The two men decided to see a bit more of Mexico City before heading back to New York. They saw the beautiful floating gardens of Xochimilco, the Metropolitan Cathedral, the National Palace, and several museums. All too soon, it was time to board the airplane to fly back to the United States.

There was a stopover in Atlanta, where the two agents had to wait in the huge airport for several hours to catch the flight for the next leg of the journey.

Illya was returning from the restaurant when he heard someone crying and noticed that it was a little girl of about four or five. "What is wrong, malenkaya?" he asked gently, squatting so that his eyes were level with hers.

"I can't find my Mommy and Daddy!" the child sobbed.

"Do not be afraid," Illya said with a friendly smile as he took the little girl's hand. "We will find them soon. I will help you."

He was in search of a security guard when the little girl saw her parents.

"Mommy! Daddy!" the child cried excitedly, running toward them.

"Suzy! We've been looking all over for you!" the mother exclaimed, scooping the the little girl up into her arms and holding her tight.

"This nice man said that he would help me find you, and he did!" Suzy replied.

"Thank you so much, sir," Suzy's father said to Illya.

"It is no problem at all," Illya said. "I was happy to be of assistance. Is it all right for Suzy to have candy?"

The man nodded. Illya took the candy from his pocket and handed it to Suzy. "It is tamarind candy, from Mexico."

"Thank you!" Suzy exclaimed.

Illya smiled as he said good-bye and went to find Napoleon.
