Finish the story begins with:
“The team employed the use of Nightshade to get the information they wanted from their captive.”
“Talk man or we will kill you!”
Vodka and tomato juice with fried eggplant was thought to be killing him with kindness.
Marg was very curious and not a little excited. Her favourite variety of Nightshade in a deep fried state, usually came with battered cod and would be torture for her strict diet, however in the form of Belladonna, glycoalkaloids are deadly.
At last Marg was face-to-face with one of the notorious Dickus brothers. Maxwell was captured and in the hands of the Brigadier who was making every effort to extract some critical information from the captive. Marg was needed to provide a feminine touch. It was well known that Maxwell Dickus was amenable to bragging and it was thought an attractive woman would be able to befriend him to loosen his tongue.
News of the crashed Little Bird helicopter arrived, some wreckage was recovered……

Good idea to use an attractive woman to get him to “bragging” and loosen his tongue!
Does Marg befriend him? Did she get him to give up the information? What was in the wreckage? Inquiring minds want to know! Well done again John! Stay tuned for the upcoming challenge. I look forward to reading what you write next week. Be well my friend… ^..^
Brigadier story is still alive! Wow. I liked the add on of Marg as a character. and would like to see the continued story.
And the story deepens. Well told!
At last, a Dickus in custody! I thought this week’s opening sentence was just right for “Mysterious Island” 🙂
I hope they find survivors from the helicopter crash – you’re leaving us hanging for another week on that one!
Marvellous John! Clever addition which sounds like there is a bit of ‘poison’ for everyone. You do lead us to the next story 🙂
