Door 23 – Mince Pies
Written by Rob
Thwak Ng jerked from his reverie, and picked up the ringing phone on his desk.
“Tok Long Viet Kong Education Centre, Major Ng speaking,” he said.
“Ah Ng, good morning, Colonel Bhadi here. Did you get my little gift OK yesterday?”
“Good morning colonel. Yes, the problem has been dealt with in the usual way.”
Colonel Bhadi is puzzled: “Problem? What problem?”
Ng is puzzled by Bhadi’s puzzlement: “We carried out the executions at dawn.”
Colonel Bhadi shouts “who on earth have you executed?”
Ng is worried. “The two men you sent.”
“You’ve shot two innocent batmen?”
“I thought that was what you wanted.”
“Why? In God’s name why? They were just bringing you mince pies.”
“That’s right: we always shoot Minh Spies.”
