More about my story

…

Is it one of the genre tropes that we always send the pretty girl in as bait, telling her that we’ve got the whole situation covered?

Or that she goes and does something that she should have told the agent she was working with, and believed the others when they said that had her covered.

After all, all she had to do was get one of the players to a room.

Of course, you’re asking, why does it have to be the pretty girl?

It is a trope.

It is expected that someone is going to do it.

So perhaps not a trope is the agent she’s working with getting very angry when he finds out.

But of course, by that time, everything has gone well south of south it’s just business as usual.

How can something that on paper seemed very simple become so hard?

Another trope.

One of the so-called good guys changes camps.  Why?  Same old, same old – money.

So then we introduce the sayings…

First dig two graves – our would-be liberator cum revolution leader gets himself too wrapped up in the revenge thing –  and dies trying to fulfill a pledge to avenge his father.

Didn’t expect a traitor in their midst.

Good thing old spies never die, they just take up mundane jobs and drift around the world looking for the latest hotspot.  We have one, he’s on hand, steals a jeep, and is a pretty good shot when it’s needed.

As for our protagonist, well, it’s another trope: he saves the girl.

It doesn’t mean there’s going to be celebrations and fireworks at the end of the party.

He must be at the wrong coup d’etat.
