Jack’s Working Undercover

Jack’s Working Undercover 

by Paul McCann

Jack works for the secret service and he has to get information from people without them ever  knowing .

He takes risks without getting nervous and is sent on missions to places and  he never knows 

where he’s going .

He changes his appearance just  like a chameleon  disappearing into the oblivious background .

He breaks into people’s rooms 

leaving no trace behind , making no sound , looking for things that can never be found .

They have tried to bug his telephone , but he speaks in  a code that can’t be understood , deciphered or broken .

Sometimes he looks delirious and other times serious , he plays mind games with those who think that he’s joking .

He’s always looking for clues ,

bunking the queues , sticking his neck out and making himself seen  in those unknown places .

Every where he  goes nobody really  knows who he is  because he’s the man with so many unsolved cases .

In reality Jack is a resident 

in a dementia unit and wanders everyday  on his own .

Maybe in his own mind he is acting out another role as an undercover agent working alone .
