Flowers
All I must do is deliver the package. I am told he’ll use the code “flowers”.
I flirt with the guard. I compliment his uniform and touch his shoulder and that’s all it takes to get through the checkpoint. The paper is hidden in a secret compartment of my compact mirror, but I didn’t want to take a chance.

“The flowers are in full bloom,” he says.
I slip the paper in his jacket pocket.
