IMF on a mission

Cast of Mission Impossible 

The slamming cargo jolted Jim Phelps awake.  In moments, darkness enveloped him.  He rolled his eyes and thought,
 
Damn! This is so classic.  That Mission: Impossible (also known as IMF) Force have screwed me over for the last time!  Apparently the IMF had always had no patience with the slightest infractions.  (He refused to remember the shady deals he had made over the years FOR the IMF.)  


Jim caught the rays of light cutting through a rusted metal hole from the corner at the top.  Opening a crate of Speedos , Jim formed a chain of the colorful swimwear and retrieved his “Grappling hook in minutes!” from his secret spy tool belt. Having won First Prize in Grappling Hook Throw at the annual "IMF Olympics", Jim was up and over like a flash.

 
Later, Jim Phelps perused the sea of cargo crates until he at last spotted his ever-faithful blue convertible with white leather interior.’

 
As he revved up the powerful engine, his white-blond hair gleamed in the sunlight.  He drove off into the sunset, a man on a mission…a mission only he and his team could appreciate.  
 
Tomorrow let’s just see if the CIA has any job openings...


This came from Wednesday Words, from 2014.  Go with the flow of the story? Who knows what  I was thinking?

Note: Mission Impossible was a risk for Desilu Productions.  It paid off.

Desilu productions took big chances in accepting two proposals.  One was Star Trek and the other Mission Impossible.  
 
I am so glad they took this chance.  I was in High school at the time and TV programs were definitely slanted toward the Soap Operas and Farm reports. Star Trek was amazing,  even n B/W.

Jim Phelps: IMF or IEP? NEA or FBI? NHS or CVS? DMV or PHS?


 Cast of Mission Impossible

 
The slamming cargo hold door jolted Jim Phelps awake.  In moments, darkness enveloped him. Dumped again. 

Damn! This is so classic.  That IMF  have screwed me over for the last time!  Apparently the IMF had always had no patience with the slightest infractions.  He refused to remember the shady deals he had made over the years FOR the IMF. 
 
Rays of light cut through large rusted metal hole in the corner. Opening a crate of Speedos , Jim formed a chain of the colorful swimwear and retrieved his “Grappling hook in minutes!” from his secret spy tool belt. Having won First Prize in Grappling Hook Throw at the annual "IMF Olympics", Jim was up and over like a flash.
 
Jim disappeared in the dark, making his way home to his classy house.
 
Escaping and surviving was his existence. Jim Phelps opened the garage to view his ever-faithful blue convertible with white leather interior.’ He slid in behind the wheel.

 
As he revved up the powerful engine, his silver hair gleamed in the sunlight.  He chuckled in a wry way, Tomorrow let’s just see if the CIA has any job openings...


He drove off into the sunset, a man on a mission…a mission only he and his team could appreciate.

The underlined bold words were a gift from Delores, who created the Wednesday Words challenge.  This use of the words was from August, 2014.
Some words are a stretch:  Speedos? Fun to play with.

Delores at Under the Porchlight has again stymied us all with her six word choices.  SPEEDO?!!  ooooo...  Please check her site out, easily by clicking on the vanishing train tracks.  There you will discover other writers and what they did with SPEEDO.  Delores has also provided a list of rhyming words, which I avoided.  Delores is one talented lady.
