Why we're spies

Perhaps you've been wondering why we're spies.  After all, it's not the usual occupation for young people.

Well, here are some reasons:

1) Inspiration

We've been inspired by all those spies and sleuths out there like Maxwell Smart, Trixie Belden, Tintin,  and especially Biggles. 

Maxwell Smart

Tintin

Biggles :D

We read (or watch) their stories, and think, "wow- me wanna be a spy."  We love the gadgets, the suspense, excitement, travel, and intrigue.  And the trench coats [hehe].

2)  Spying is fun

Spying is SO much fun!  Even if you are only spying on your siblings.  Who doesn't love secret meetings, disguises, secret hide outs, and all that sort of thing?

3) Excitement galore!

There is nothing that gives you an adrenaline spike like spying!  :D  As you hide from your enemy behind a tree, your heart thumps loudly in your ears and sweat beads on your forehead.  When you read about Biggles escaping from his arch-enemy, Erich von Stalhein, the same thing happens. 

And there's nothing so thrilling as when you hear the dit-dit-duh of a secret message come through on the decoder...

4) The gadgets are rather spectacular

A gun disguised as lipstick, maps hidden in a game of Monopoly,  a camera concealed in a pen... the list goes on.  Spy gadgets are just dang cool.

Now that is just a few reasons, from one spy's perspective.  I am sure that every spy on earth could write a whole book on this subject, but they are to busy doing secret missions.  Besides, you have probably got the point by now....

Yours with all secrecy, Agent 72
