It seems this agent will have time to reflect on her mistakes and what went wrong on her mission—and what she would do differently next time.
Hopefully there will be a next time.



Agents of S.P.A.N.K. put their lives and their virtue on the line every day. On every mission, around every corner, is someone ready and willing to do them harm.
Or worse.

When Agent/Instructor Swallow needed a demonstration subject for her escapology class, she called upon her bright protege, Senior Cadet Katie.
Katie was honored to help her mentor, and soon she was wriggling and writhing in front of the class, attempting to get free from Agent Swallow’s ropes.
Agent Swallow would later remark to her peers that her students had rarely been so attentive and engaged in a lesson.

And just like that, the bait was taken, and another of Agent Katie’s dangerous missions was underway.

Late Saturday night, Agent Katie went undercover into a club where a young woman had gone missing.
She began to regain consciousness hours later with a splitting headache, cuffs and shackles on her wrists and ankles, and no recollection of the previous night.
She was about to find out precisely what happened to the missing girl. Being taken was part of her plan, but after being unconscious for so long, she could only hope that her backup team still knew where she was.
Agent Katie followed her quarry deep into the northern woods to find his isolated cabin.
She wasn’t nearly as stealthy as she thought she was, though, and he was an experienced woodsman.
He was also quite handy with a length of rope.

The midterm exam for the academy’s Escape and Evasion 101 class consists of a surprise simulation.
Cadets are summoned to a campus location in pairs, and accosted by upperclass cadets. If they can evade capture, it’s an automatic ‘A.’ If they are captured, they can still get a passing grade if they can escape; their grade goes down a full letter grade for each half-hour they are prisoners.
Cadet Katie made the mistake of trying to stick together with her partner Jenny instead of looking out for herself—putting teamwork over self-preservation. Noble, but misguided. They both were captured and the upperclass cadets had fun blindfolding them, taking them to an empty apartment, and binding them.
Cadet Jenny had her legs tied apart by a senior cadet who unnerved her by touching her bare thighs. The cadets who tied Cadet Katie were more focused on making her bondage extra tight, allowing no movement and less chance for escape.
After an hour, with a passing grade on the line, the senior cadets relented and pushed their chairs back to back. Now would be an excellent time for that teamwork, Cadet Katie.

The prisoner exchange is a time-honored tradition among agents and their adversaries. It represents a mutual respect between professionals who are otherwise continually trying to defeat each other. It also allows both sides to get on about their business without risky rescue missions and escalating retaliations.
Agent Katie’s main adversary, Rathbone, had taken Junior Agent Natalie prisoner during a prostitution-into-slavery sting while protecting his employer, @auctionhouse69. He held the young agent for interrogation for a couple days, but then indicated he was willing to trade her for Kimmy, a young asset of Rathbone’s. This alone was valuable information, as Agent Katie did not realize Kimmy’s value to Rathbone until his unusual request.
Rathbone directed Agent Katie to take Kimmy to the roof of a parking garage and leave her there. It was an unbalanced situation, but Agent Katie had no choice but to trust Rathbone. She cuffed Kimmy and left her sitting alone on a parking block.
Rathbone was a suspicious man; he led Junior Agent Natalie from his car, also handcuffed, and gripped her arm tightly as he walked her across the roof toward where Kimmy sat. Only when he was satisfied did he direct Natalie to sit next to Kimmy. Rathbone removed Kimmy’s cuffs, placed them around Natalie’s ankles, and helped Kimmy back to his car for a clean escape.
Though Agent Katie was frustrated she did not have more time to interrogate Kimmy as to her connection to Rathbone, Katie was grateful to get Natalie back in fairly good condition.

Because of her youthful girl-next-door look, Junior Agent Natalie is assigned to many undercover missions—particularly in investigations where young women start going missing from a certain area like a university or neighborhood.
That’s when Agent Swallow knows that @auctionhouse69 has moved into the area, or Anthony “Little Tony” Williams has a new operation. The best way to disrupt their operations is with sting operations…effective, but they put agents in tight situations. It takes a tough and well trained agent like Natalie to endure mission after mission like this.

Junior Agent Natalie is one of Agent Katie’s personal recruits and proteges. Ambitious and confident, she has had some early success as an agent but occasionally gets in over her head.
