About this ebook
Only master of mayhem Wally McDoogle can turn an innocent game of laser tag into international espionage. From the Swiss Alps to the African plains, Agent 00 1/7th bumblingly employs such top-secret gizmos as rocket-powered toilet paper, exploding dental floss and the ever-popular transformer tacos (don't laugh, they get great gas mileage) in a desperate attempt to stop the dreaded and super secret . . . Giggle Gun. It isn't until Wally finally takes responsibility for his actions (which unfortunately involves leaping out of a jet fighter traveling 1.2 gazillion miles an hour), that he is finally able to save his life. . . And while he is at it, the entire free world.

Chapter 1
Just for Starters . . .
Don’t blame me! It wasn’t my fault!
Blame my best friend, Opera, the human eating machine. After all, it was his birthday.
Or blame Wall Street, my other best friend (even though she is a girl). After all, it was her idea to throw a party at Destructo Lasers. It was her idea for us to play laser tag.
I was just an innocent victim. It wasn’t my fault I didn’t know how to put on the laser vest.
No, Wally, it goes over your shirt, not your pants.
And it wasn’t my fault I got stuck.
No, Wally, those holes are for your arms, not your legs!
After the local paramedics swung by and cut me out of the vest with their Jaws of Life, I tried on another one.
No, Wally, now you’ve got it on backward.
(Fortunately the paramedics were still around.)
After the third one, I finally got it right. At last things were getting back to normal. (But, as we all know, normal for me isn’t exactly normal for anyone else.)
At first, it was great fun running around the maze of futuristic walls, firing our lasers at each other and scoring points. Well, Opera and Wall Street were running around firing lasers and scoring points. I was too busy getting hit to score anything. It seemed every time I fired my laser, someone was hitting me.
Phring Phring Phring
BLAM! BLAM! BLAM!
Phring Phring Phring
BLAM! BLAM! BLAM!
It was getting pretty frustrating, until Wall Street stopped by and offered a suggestion. You’re holding your laser backward,
she shouted over the noise.
What?
I yelled.
You’ve got it turned around! You’re shooting yourself!
I glanced down and saw her point. Thanks!
I shouted.
Don’t mention it!
she yelled and then stepped back to fire a few good rounds into me.
Phring Phring Phring
BLAM! BLAM! BLAM!
(Hey, we’re good friends, but not that good.)
Before I could fire back, she’d dashed around the corner and disappeared.
I tore after her and probably would have gotten her, too—if it wasn’t for the six-foot, three-inch, blond man who raced around the corner from the other direction. Even that wouldn’t have been so bad, if I hadn’t leaped out of his way. Actually, the leaping was pretty good. It was the smashing into the wall that was the problem.
Oaff!
K-THUDD
The Oaff!
was my muscle-challenged body hitting the hard wood wall. The K-THUDD was my newly broken body hitting the even harder concrete floor.
The blond guy hadn’t done much better. By trying not to trample me to death, he also stumbled and fell—just as two other men, a tall guy and a short guy, came barreling around the corner and started firing at him.
As I lay there, flat on my back, counting how many bones I’d broken, I thought how unfair it was that they let grownups play with kids. I mean, I was living proof (well, now semi-living
