Victoria Beckham in a Safe House

Victoria does not understand how the safe house is safe. She was blindfolded until they arrived inside the compound. Everyone else was blindfolded including the drivers. But they were all inside and she could finally take a shower. The men played pin the tail on the donkey while they waited for their next assignment.

In the safe house Victoria had an allowance for Haute Couture, but she'd become fond of her baggy trousers and tshirts. She called for an assistant to monitor Curveball's compound on a small screen. Intelligence was that Curveball had a bunker under the house with means of escape.

Victoria stood up and asked, "What are we waiting for?"

"We need the go-ahead," said the thick agent. He was wearing a track suit and undershirt.

Victoria studied the screen at close range.

"There's a bloody cat in the tree" she said with more than a little emotion.

"Can't be," said the agent. He got a little too close the Victoria. "Must be some kind of local rodent. Wouldn't want to touch it."

A large explosion -- not that far away -- shook the house. Victoria waved away the dust and walked to the area of the compound where the vehicles were parked. The agents were still playing pin the tail on the donkey.

"We're going to Curveballs," said Victoria, "and I'm going to get a cat out of a tree."

Several of the agents got into a vehicle. The driver pulled his blindfold above his eyes. Victoria got into the vehicle and allowed herself to be blindfolded.
