How it begins
You are a dashing, young secret agent, carrying a sleeping drug. You tracked the secret plans to a pair of hand-eeze gloves in a ladies' clothing shop, but someone picked them up before you got there. You now know that the Courier has them, and that she'll be delivering them today; you've tracked her contact, the Roman, to a phone booth in a side street off West Avenue. Your mission is to prevent the Courier from meeting him.
You are standing in West Avenue, a busy street where eighteen-wheelers rumble by. That's not important to you, though; you're more interested in the side street where the Courier is to meet her contact.
