Geocache Description:

Work out where your top agent, Zephyr, has hidden the microfilm and pick it up before the other side's agents can!

You are in your office, in the top-secret New Zealand Intelligence Agency building, when the phone rings.

As soon as you pick up the phone, you recognise the voice of your top agent, Zephyr.  Despite the fake Cockney accent, you know it’s him – and he’s in trouble.  In fact, to be calling you on an unsecured line, it must be very serious.  He should be dropping off a microfilm with critical information; but if he’s calling you, it must be in danger of being picked up by the Other Side.  Where can it be hidden?

“Ere, mate,” he says, “I gotta tell you sumfink.”

“Go ahead,” you answer, switching on the tape recorder, and hoping that he can give you a clue.

“It’s a story about a brick,” he starts. “Understand, or it might be about my dead body, too.”

“Yesterday, I went for a lope down to the brick yard, to get you a brick.  I remember, back in La France you told Vescence about that dead body Mo found… Well, he played dumb as a brick when the police came…  Vescence is one of the best in La France.  If Vescence found a dead body, well, he wouldn’t tell Mo, not Vescence.  He might give one to La France and keep two for himself, but Mo would only give you one at breakfast.”

You listen to the diatribe in confusion.   It hardly makes any sense!  But, maybe that’s the idea; the other side is certainly listening in.  Then, your agent continues.

“Well, you let him have two for himself, and Mo gave you one at breakfast.  It’s a bit dumb to have a brick when the police are coming; Vescence had one, but only in La France, you know!  I’d have one at breakfast, but a brick?  Just keep one for the police – I think you have a brick in La France, but a brick is one thing not to give to the police.”

“Are you finished?” you ask, an idea coming into your mind.

“Yeah, I am.” He replies.  “Sorry I couldn’t talk more.  Don’t worry about me, hope I don’t need to worry either?”

“That’s OK,” you answer, “No need for you to worry.”

Then you hang up.  In a few minutes you’ll have the co-ordinates for the microfilm, and you can dispatch an agent to pick it up.


The cache is within 5km of the posted location.
