The man smiled at the bellboy, took the letter, sliped it into his pocket, pulled out a cigarette, and lit up.
"I'll be at the blackjack tables if there's a phone call for me."
"Oui senoir."
The man calmly strode down the long stairs to the chandilier lit casino. Smoke filled the room, puffed out by men who were a lot less rich now that they'd been in here for a few hours.
But there was one man who always seemed to win. He sat at table 5...
So he sat down, opposite, and offered to play in. The table accepted.
A woman around the table eyed the new player... he knew his cards... and she knew his face.
"Cool, hit me." He said, taking a deep drag from his cigarette.
"Excuse me sir, have I seen you around places before?" The lady finally asked.
"Maybe. I've been to places before." The man quipped, taking another drag and raising the stakes.
The man, the man who never seemed to lose sneered at the smoking man's comment.
"So who are you?" The lady asked.
"The name's Snuggly." Snuggly took another deep drag from his cigarette. "Mr. Snuggly."
"Oh! I DO know you... remember when we inflitrated that drugs ring in South America... we made love under the sunset after we bought Mr Large to justice... he faced an untimely death after being rolled in his giant mechanical joint making machine."
The man who never losed eyed Snuggly... "I'm sorry, you must have mistaken me for someone else."
"Can't you remember?" The woman said, giggling. "It wasn't that long ago... we're both spies, you know, you'd expect us to remember things like that. You DO still work for the British Secret Service, don't you?"
The man who never losed suddenly stood up quickly... two men seized Snuggly from behind, and the woman was punched in the face by the man, and fell to the floor.
"You! You the spy that been following me huh?" The man said.
"You've been stealing OAP's to build your underwater lair, Hybrid. It was only a matter of time before we found out your evil scheme."
"Acchh... I was so sure nobody would notice that they went missing..." Hybrid said. "Still, ah well. I'll just have to kill you now."
"Not if I do this!" Snuggly managed to loosen his grip on the man holding him to his left. He punched the one to the right, kicked the other one in the shin, and then pulled an elastic band from his pocket, and shot it at Hybrid.
He fell back, screaming, and fell into an automatic card shuffler. The other members that had come to play cards moaned at the sight, as Hybrid was split into two even sections.
"He always was a right pack to deal with." Snuggly said to himself.
The woman rushed to her feet. "Oh Snuggly... how foolish of me, but what do you expect, I'm only a woman, after all." The woman giggled, and offered Snuggly back to her place for a few hours of sex.
Snuggly placed the letter from the woman that was given to him in his jacket, and promptly forgot about it.

"Glad to hear that you've dealt with Hybrid, Snuggly!" Tony said, sitting behind his antique desk, smoking a pipe.
"In more ways than one." Loki said, opening the door and letting himself in.
"Ah, Loki, I've been meaning to thank you for that elastic band you gave me for that mission... came in handy."
"We're here to help you get the man Snuggly, don't you forget. The amount of times Loki Branch has saved your life, I'll never count. Did you manage to return the elastic band?"
"Well... yes, I was meaning to say..."
Loki sighed.
"Never mind that now, you two, sit down." Tony stood up, and waited for the two to sit. "Now, a small problem has arised in Venice... our payman there, Meka, he hasn't reported in for a few days."
"What was he sticking his nose in at the time?" Snuggly asked.
"We're not sure. The last time he radio contacted us, he told us that something big was going down at the 'Plumage Club'. It's a big nightclub, probably the best you can find in Venice."
"Does it have a casino?" Snuggly asked.
"Yes."
"Superb."
"So your assignment is this." Tony said, summing up the mission, and taking a puff from his pipe. "Go to Venice, visit where Meka was staying, find anything you can, and visit this 'Plumage Club' as well. Meka might still be alive, so please, work as fast as you can."
"You know me, sir." Snuggly stood up. "I'll leave immedietely."
"Not quite so fast..." Loki said, standing up to. "Come with me down to the Workshop, we've got a few gadgets for you to bring with you."
Nice.
Are you trying to bring this style of story writing back?
