The Secret Agent
The Secret Agent
It’s
just before the Second World War. Tom was only 20 at the time and was living
with his mother. He was working in a bank and traveling to London every day.
One morning, he received a mysterious letter. It was addressed to 'Mr. Thomas
Parker'. The letter, which was signed, 'A Friend', asked Tom to go to The Crown
Inn during his lunch hour. All morning, as he was dealing with customers, Tom
was wondering whether he should do this. At lunchtime, he decided to go to the
inn. It was full of people and Tom couldn't recognize anyone. He was just
wondering if he should leave when a stranger introduced himself and said he had
known Tom's father, who had died when Tom was a baby. The stranger explained
that Tom's father, Bill, was a secret agent in the First World War. Through
this meeting, Tom was recruited to be a secret agent, too, and was already
working in France when the war began.
