Premise
Write a spy thriller in which the spy is attempting to stop a courier from delivering top-secret plans to his contact. The secret plans are hidden in a pair of hand-eeze gloves, or alternatively in the latest self-help book "Pee On This!" The meeting is to take place during the dead of winter in one of three places: a baseball field, a phone booth, on Who Wants To Be A Millionaire. Extra points for using: snow angels, truckers, a secret decoder ring, a chalupa, hot chocolate.
