I do not own Once Upon a Time.

Different day, different lesson, different people.


Thursday morning found Sidney with his three students for the day. He liked his job, it kept him safe. He was not an action guy. He liked getting all the information from a safe place and passing it along to the people who could do something about it.

"There are many different kinds of wires and before you get to see any, I want you to find the bugs in this room. There are ten. You have fifteen minutes."

Jefferson looked around the small lab. There were computers everywhere. But the stuffed bunny was out of place. And one of its eyes was odd. He smiled, basically a nanny cam. There was one.

Neal climbed onto a chair and pulled the fake smoke detector off the wall. A room this big only needed one. There was two.

Ruby thought the Christmas tree was out of place, it was May after all. But which ball had the bug? Maybe the one that was blinking while the tree wasn't even plugged in. That was three.

One in the plant by the door, one on the window sill that doubled as a wind chime. There was one in the arm rest of a chair. The microphone had one, that one was very cleverly placed. There was an actual dragonfly on the wall, it was hiding a bug of its own.

Ruby, Neal and Jefferson had turned over everything in the room and was close to ripping things apart. Then suddenly, they all turned to Sidney.

"You're wearing the last two." It wasn't a question from Jefferson.

Sidney smiled. He pointed to a button on his jacket. "This picks up video." Then he pointed to a fake hearing aid. "This picks up audio and allows me to communicate with control central. I am the control central."

"Do we have to wear these on mission? Can they be easily hidden?" Jefferson asked. He had not watched a lot of spy movies, the movies he watched were mostly princess movies.

"Of course. It took you a while to realize I was wearing one. The bugs can be tie pins, necklace, put in a pair of glasses. Do any of you wear glass?"

"I could start wearing glasses again." Neal shrugged. Contacts were getting expensive anyway.

They spent about an hour being fitted for wired on themselves. Then it learning how to activate and deactivate a bug. It was harder than it looked. There were some sparks along the way.


Sorry it was short. Guess this class wasn't as interesting.
