Boy Scout
MacGyver finished his work and stepped back. “Okay, Nikki. Go for it.”
“Did you have to make it so hard?”
“Hey, you said you wanted to practice.” Mac watched her efforts, laughing. “C’mon, Nikki! The bad guys have got you! Time’s running out! Whatcha gonna do?”
“Humph. You’ll probably rescue me.”
“No cavalry this time. They’ve got me in the next room. You have to get loose and come rescue me.”
“What are they doing?”
“I’m being interrogated. Mercilessly. They want my recipe for tofu casserole.”
“Why would they want that? A mass poisoning plot?”
“They’re militant vegans. C’mon, Nikki. You’ve gotta hurry! Once they find out I use eggs, I’m toast.”
Nikki glared at him as she tugged on her ropes. “I’m having trouble believing you learned this in the Scouts.”
“Umm – actually, when our troop leader caught us doing this kinda knotwork practice, he almost kicked me out.”
