Undercover: Fiona's Story Chapter 1. The phone rang, Fiona looked at the number on the display. She didn't recognize it. "Hello?" "Hello, is this Fiona Baughman?" "Yes." Hi, I'm Dr. Alisa Morris. I am calling regarding your husband, Ethan Baughman." "Is it hurt?" "No, it's nothing like that. I work with the police. I'm his contact while he's undercover." "I see. How can I help you?" "We would like to bring you in so you can see him." "Bring me in?" "Yeah. Our undercovers do better when they can have some contact with their real life. We can't let him visit you directly. That would blow his cover. But we can arrange for you to meet secretly and spend some time together." "I can see Ethan?" "That is what we hope. Arrangements have to be made though." "What type of arrangements." "He is undercover and you will have to be so too." "What does that mean?" "We are going to arrange for you to be in disguise. That is the safest for both of you." "Disguised? You mean wear dark glasses and a scarf like in the movies?" "No, but we do have to make you look totally different. Someone even your best friend wouldn't think is you." "Fine, I don't care as long as I can see Ethan." "This is what I want you to do, go to the Eagles North Diner. You know where that is?" "Yes." "I will have someone there to meet you. They will tell you what you need. It'll take some time, but it'll work out." "When should I go there?" "Tomorrow at noon." "Then I can see Ethan?" "Not right away, but not too long after that." Chapter 2. Fiona was excited at the prospect of seeing Ethan. She didn't know what to expect, but she would make sure that she would be at the diner on time. Fiona left for the diner and found the person she was supposed to talk to. It was a plus-sized woman in her thirties. She looked like a typical mother. That is what Fiona thought anyway. "I'm Tina Lane," the woman said. "HI, I'm Fiona." "Great to meet you." "What is this all about?" "I'm afraid it's a little bit cloak and dagger, but it's necessary because we don't know who at the police department is involved. We need you to wear a disguise to see Ethan." "I'll do anything." "We know you will. Ethan really wants to see you." "So what do you want me to do?" "You have to look like someone they will never expect. I don't want you to look like a woman at all. We want you to disguise yourself as a young boy. You know someone in middle school." "What? Is this a joke?" "No, it isn't. I can image what you think. It will work though. You aren't too tall and you are small-boned. You can pull it off." "How, I'm a woman." "Clothing will do most of the work. If you dress right and have the right attitude it will work." "You have some sort of makeup artist that can do all this?" "No, we can't use anyone inside the department. Boys like to wear baggy clothes. You just have to do that." "But what about these?" Fiona put her hands to under her breasts. "Under the right clothes with some special underwear, they won't be very noticeable at all."
