A couple were in bed together. The guy was asleep, but the girl wasn't; she got out of bed.
She crept barefoot through the apartment. She would open drawers and discretely rummage through them.
Finally, she came to a desk. It had a locked compartment, but she pulled out a special tool from a secret pocked in her girdle. Within a few seconds, she had it open.
Rummaging through it, she came across a small envelope. Inside was a tiny piece of film. This she took. She put the envelope back, and shut the drawer.
She sat in a nearby chair. Then she crossed her right foot and shoved the film inside her big toenail. It was small enough to fit in it comfortably.
Afterwards, she went back into the bedroom.
The man was stirring. "Where'd you go, baby?"
"Oh, I had to go to the little girl's room."
"I see." He rubbed her back. "How about you and I do it one more time!"
"Er, no thanks. I've got to be going to work."
"And to your husband."
She sighed. "Yes."
She began putting her clothes back on. He watched her.
"Want some coffee?"
"No, that's OK."
"How about you and I doing this again, sometime."
"No, I don't think so."
"Feeling a little guilty?"
"Yeah."
"Hey, I quite understand, babe! How about one final kiss?"
"Well, OK."
"She gave him a perfunctory kiss on the lips. By now, she had all her clothes on.
"If you ever leave your husband, I'll be here for you."
"Thanks for the offer. Now, I've got to be going. This was. . . Nice."
"Yes, it was, baby! Well, I guess I'll be seeing you around."
"Not if I can help it!," she whispered to herself.
She left.

99 came into the Chief's office. "Morning, Chief."
"Hi, 99. Did you get it?"
"Yes, Chief."
She sat down, took her right shoe off, crossed her foot, and took a piece of film out from under her big toenail. Then she put her shoe on, got up, and gave the film to him.
He looked at it for a bit. "Excellent! This microfilm will put a big dent in KAOS. Great work, 99!"
"Thank you, sir," she said, very unenthusiastically.
"You're upset, 99"
"Yes."
"You're thinking about Max, aren't you?"
"Yes, sir." She sobbed, a little.
"Sit down, 99." She sat. "Spying can be a very ugly business. There are times when spies must do some very unsavory things. That's why CONTROL was concerned about you and Max marrying, at first."
"I realize that, Chief."
"I had to seduce a female agent, once."
"You did?"
"Yes, for some secret papers. What's more, I had to carry on the affair for a couple months. That's the only time I was unfaithful to her."
"Did she find out?"
"If she did, she never told me. 99, if I asked Max to do something like that how would you feel?"
She thought for a bit. "Well, I guess I'd be upset. But I'd also understand."
"That's probably how Max would feel."
This brightened her, a bit. "Yes, of course. I'll tell him all about it."
"NO! That will only open a can of worms. If he somehow finds out, you can admit it. But don't tell him."
"OK, Chief. But you really couldn't of used one of your unmarried female against?"
"I told you, our other female agents are all on missions. I'm sorry, 99."
"I understand."
"Take the rest of the week off, 99; you really deserve it."
"Thanks, Chief. Max is coming home, tomorrow."
"Yes, that's right. You may go now, 99. And your work was truly commendable!"
"Thank you, sir."
She got up and left.
She went to a grocery store and bought Max's favorite foods to cook for him, when he came home.
