When the phone rang, Rupert Spring didn't even bother reaching for it. In a matter of seconds, Mister Glorious Private Eye had snatched it up. "Lucidity Investigations, Frank Clearwater speaking." Rupert watched and listened, but as always, his partner's interaction with the unknown caller was cryptic at best. Frank merely reacted to what the person said. Rupert had asked him hundreds of times to buy a projection phone, but noooo. Mid 20th century technology it was. After all, this was about keeping him second in line.
Finally, Frank hung up and reached for his coat and hat.
"Get your gear, Rupe", he said. "We're on a mission."

"The Cloak and the Dagger" is a quote from Tears for Fears' song "Ladybird" (from "Everybody loves a happy Ending", 2004). It refers to Frank: the Cloak - he wears a hat and coat, and Rupert: the Dagger - he is the man of action, a good investigator who knows how to battle quickly and swiftly when push comes to shove.
Amazing. I loved it. So quick, so simple. Here comes mine.
