This is Mr and Mrs Sargeant. A very ordinary couple with ordinary looks, an ordinary house and an ordinary lifestyle... right?
But then why is Bobby Sargeant using that poking stick like a fencing sword? How did Scout get so adept at chopping vegetables, and why does she always glance fondly at the kitchen knives? My eyes must be deceiving me - that flamingo statue can't have a hidden camera in place of it's eye. And why does that section of wallpaper in the living room seem wrong somehow?
Yes that's right, Bobby and Scout Sargeant are actually secret agents.
They have a secret passage from their livingroom leading to their underground work room, complete with an entrance to the local sewer network, and a hot tub to relax in after work.
They try hard to seem like normal neighbours and family friends include Monika McGraw, Blair Steel, Tiara Angelista and their next-door neighbour Nina Caliente. They are good at everything that could give them an edge: athletics, handyness, relationships. But one thing they have always found hard is having children. They have always had trouble conceiving. Out loud they tell each other that they won't seem normal without children, but is that really their motivation to keep trying?
Then one day Scout greets her husband in the morning with surprise pancakes. In the middle of a discussion about the local crime syndicate, she abruptly tells him that she's pregnant. Bobby nearly choked on his pancake.
Throughout the pregnancy Bobby kept telling Scout to make sure she rested. She did go to the spa to get a deep tissue massage, but her mind was on the job. She couldn't resist inviting over Clarissa Milton to question her for a report she wanted to write.
Food cravings hit her like a bomb shell. Suddenly she desperately wanted icecream with spaghetti, or cobbler with watermelon. Pity she couldn't cook either of those dishes.
Bobby meanwhile did the laundry (his favourite activity), repaired a friend's tv, and managed to get promoted to flight officer in the military (which is really just a cover, but one he enjoys).
Scout is hit with contractions in the laundry room one morning at 3:17am (don't ask why she was up so late). Being her usual tough self, she refused to call for help, determined that she could get through a little pain. It was not long before she rethought that.
Now you might expect the baby boy to get a very ordinary name from his ordinary parents, but Scout and Bobby have been thinking about this for a long time, and they want this one thing in their lives to stand out. They name the boy Bold.
