Alright, with this idea you’ll have to follow along the rabbit trail to see how I got here. ?
So, this another example of how a causal everyday photo could lead to something completely different, assuming your mind works like mine, ?.
At first, I thought we were cooking breakfast then realized that was probably chicken in the pan but we’re sticking with the breakfast idea since it’ll be after an earlier morning workout.
What got me thinking about this idea was the basicness of it. Just cooking some breakfast. Why is that special? And who’s taking the photo and why?
Answer, her boyfriend and because he’s enamored with her. I’m thinking, complete opposites attract kind of thing here. He’s a nerdy looking, scrawny techie type guy into puzzles, math, Sudoku, etc. She’s a fitness/lifestyle coach. They got a place together (his idea) and they’ve been living together for say 6 months or so. He can’t believe a girl like her would fall for a guy like him.
The twist is they’re both lying to each other. I’m not sure how they met yet but she’s been hired by someone to secretly get close to him. And he’s been lying about where he goes to work every day.
He’s secretly a researcher/developer for someone, not sure who yet, but it’s important work that’s still in development and she’s been keeping tabs on it since there’s nothing to steal yet.
I can see her taking a class or two at Nick Walker’s dojo and I can see her boyfriend’s company having her followed to make sure she’s not a security threat (that’s how important/big this guy’s work is). I’m not sure if she’s an assassin though. Maybe more like a specialized thief or infiltrator.
Plus, I’m still not sure who the good guy/bad guy is in the relationship. Is she really the threat, or is he? Maybe neither.
Maybe the question should be, who would Megan most likely help between the two of them. And then how would Nick mess that up on her. And I’m not sure about that yet.
Not bad for a pic of cooking food huh. ?
