Mr Bardock was the jolly happy go lucky man.He was the owner bartender and waiter all by himself of the place called 'The Lagoons'.
What people missed to notice was his muscular attire and crafty intelligence behind that pug shaped puppy eyed face.

He was the mastermind behind all that was happening.All the attacks on nobles were staged by him.His wife was no less she had crushed a man with bare hand.

Sitting in a dark corner knitting in the bar she was never disturbed.She had a dark past and people made a point to keep safe hand distance from her.

Mr Bardock was wondering how long till the spies hit this place.Sure they would notice their Cheif missing.

There was a hushed silence as a guard in Royal Cape entered ' The Lagoons '. The members working for the cause were eyeing him like a dead meat.One nod and they would tear him to pieces

Only if Mr Bardock left anything for them.Tension was growing in here.

"Hello James won't you ask drinks for a old friend?"
Mr Bardock was playing it cool
"Why am I blessed with presence of a Royal guard? And as I would like to point out I am no friend of yours."

"Oh that's rude! You perfectly know why I am here orders to check your place."
Mr Bardock just shrugged his shoulders. Within minutes a squad was tearing down the place.
ALL CLEAR!!

The Royal guard was clearly upset.As he was about to leave he saw a door covered entirely by Mr Bardock how could he miss that.How big actually is this harmless looking man?
"Sir I need you to step aside."

Mr Bardock was agitated,"And here goes by best wine.This place is used to store and age the liquor some of it is as old as my grandfather. Drop any of it and I will draw equal amount of blood." said Mr Bardock jokingly he sat on a corner drum while the search continued

The Royal guard was frustrated this place was clean.He had confirmed news that the head of spy was last seen in the Lagoon's bar.

As the squad left Mrs Bardock calmly called out ,"Honey please get rid of that drum before it starts stinking. I guess no one will pay for your grandfather's booze if it smells."

Mr Bardock was just smiling to himself that was a close save even for him to relax

IT HAD BEGUN.....

Earlier a day before-

The cheif spy of state( very few people knew that) entered the Lagoon's he confidently stated he has evidence and will talk only to Mrs Bardock .
Mr Bardock was uncertain to leave them alone and later regretted doing that.
After about half and hour there was raised voices and a sudden silence.
Mr Bardock rushed to the room only to find his wife coming out cool and calm .She only said "He knew who I was, what had happened to me."
The scene in the room made even blood of Mr Bardock run cold. There sat the man known to be most intelligent spy only his head was directed in opposite direction.

Mr Bardock quickly stuffed him in the empty drum and put it in the storehouse

He would deal with it later first he needed his wife Linda calm
