Mischief

This short story plays out shortly after "Reggie between all chairs". If you want to find out why Reggie and his team had to go on a forced break, please read this. Jamie Luella Tillmann is a hacker and essential for the burglary Reggie Smith has masterminded. Hope you have fun.

Jamie Luella Tillmann and her sister Jamie Isabelle were on the way to Shilin Night Market in Taipei, Taiwan. Jamie Belle was skeptical what her sister planned. Jamie Lu was always up to some mischief.

Jamie Lu was 5 ft 7.5 in tall, had platinum blond hair and brown eyes. Her sister was brunette and slightly taller. Her eyes were green. She was a year older, and sometimes the target of Jamie Lu's pranks.
At the market they had a look around, bought cheap CDs, and Jamie Lu convinced Jamie Belle to try some food. Since Jamie Belle was hungry she agreed.
First they went to a stall, where some kind of rice on a stick was served. It was triangle shaped and looked okay. The taste was fine, so Jamie Belle ate everything. Next Jamie Belle followed her sister to another stall. It offered rice paddy chicken - at least that was what her sister told her. It was a little bit odd, having more the texture of fish, but tasting like chicken.
Jamie Belle couldn't be convinced to eat tofu, though. It stank to heaven.

The next morning Jamie Belle and Jamie Lu had breakfast with Reggie Smith, Jamie Lu's boss. He asked how the vacation was going along and what Jamie Belle had seen and done so far with her sister. They had seen the treasures of the National Palace Museum and the Taipei Astronomical Museum and visited Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall and the Botanical Gardens. Of course Jamie Belle also mentioned the night market visit and what they had eaten. Reggie suddenly coughed into his napkin. It was an attempt to cover up his laughter. It seemed Jamie Belle didn't have a clue her sister hat set her up. "Are you okay?" Jamie Belle asked concerned. Reggie nodded. He looked up, but didn't have his facial features fast enough under control. Jamie Belle shot her sister a dirty look. "Jamie Luella, explain to me what exactly I have eaten yesterday!" She was stern with Jamie Lu. Her sister hid her big smile by staring fascinated at her plate of fried eggs. Jamie Luella!" Jamie Belle prodded further. Jamie Lu wasn't forthcoming. Jamie Belle turned a gimlet eye to Reggie. "What did I eat?!" "Ahem, I leave the explanation to Jamie Lu." After some pressure Jamie Lu gave in. Jamie Belle was disgusted, when she found out she had eaten frog instead of chicken. She didn't mind the pig blood cake so much. Jamie Belle had eaten blood sausages before. It was only a different take and didn't taste so bad. Reggie and Jamie Lu tried unsuccessful to stifle their giggles. Jamie Belle wasn't happy they laughed at her cost. Jamie Belle addressed her sister: "You are going to pay for this."
