Author's Notes:
This series of drabbles are the writer's laboratory and playground - the exploration of the next chapters of "Highly Classified Mission." From these very sketchy beginnings a more cohesive story will eventually form. Thanks to Braxin, for conversation, support, patience, entertainment...and for prompt words (others came from other TnT fan friends)!
It's been a while since I've gotten any new chapters posted – life has been filled with – well, living! But I'm hoping to have them all up by the end of the month, even if I can only get to one or two a day.

Did Trip Tucker actually meet the King, or is it a decoy intended to distract Malcolm Reed?
"Believe whatever you want, Malcolm." None of this matters, but it's a distraction. "Doesn't change the facts."
"An unruly yank, taking a knee to the king?!"
"Didn't take a knee. I lent a hand. He was a surprise visitor for an event one afternoon. Had his own gear, but there was a crack in a connection. He was hesitant to borrow. I took a look."
"Mighty ambitious of you."
Trip shrugs. " I'm good at invention."
"And you stayed quiet ?"
"Didn't know who he was till later. He offered to pay handsomely, but I know how to be discreet."
