They went to the same school, different classes

Jeffery walked back to his car; parked in a dimly lit street, he pressed the key to unlock the vehicle. The four indicators came on and flashed, then nothing happened, having been tailed most of the day, Jeffery did not know what to expect, and he was glad when a bomb did not explode. It had been one of these days, he had flown to Moscow to pick up a letter from one of his operatives, but met a good friend Peter.

As soon as he left the hotel in the morning, the KGB followed him; three excellent KGB operatives knew every trick in the book. Jeffery did everything to lose the tail, but he could not do it. Then walking around the corner came a good friend Peter, they had gone to school together Peter and Jeffery walked to a café; walked in and took a seat ordered two coffees, and they relaxed and chatted. The KGB tails did not know what to do, they were supposed to be tailing one person, but now there were two of them.

When their conversation lulled, Peter looked around; he saw the KGB operatives sitting pretending to drink coffee but watching Jefferey.

‘Are you being followed by the KGB?’ asked Peter.

'Yes, they have been following me all day, and I can't get rid of them,' replied Jeffery.

'Well, I have a little trick that works very well. Have you finished your coffee?'

‘I have, thank you,’ replied Jeffery.

'Get ready to go, but do not make a move until I come back and watch this trick the KGB do not know how to deal with it.'

Peter got up and stretched; the three KGB watched his every move. Peter walked over to one of the KGB and said, 'Are you following us? I used to go to the same school, but we went to different classes.’

The KGB agent looked very puzzled at this statement, but the three KGB looked at each other then got up and walked out of the café.

Peter grabbed Jeffery, and they walked out of the café door, going in the opposite direction.

‘What did you tell them?’

'I used to go to the same school as you, but we were in different classes. They have no idea what I am talking about, but they stop tailing you.'

Jeffery laughed and thanked Peter for his trick, and they arranged to meet up in London next week.
