This is the first half-page strip. Err.. yeah - I've been lazy about drawing backgrounds again... (yesh, I'm a wuss!)

At any rate, I'm not sure if I've effectively communicated what's going on, but apparently other special agents that Lance has worked with in the past have gotten the order to put Linna under surveillance precluding his awareness. And yes, they bugged the stuffed piggy toy (Wagyu) that Lance un-knowingly gave Linna in good faith.

The plot thickens!
