FLEA PEST

Secret Agent Dave is waiting in the museum for an anonymous source to share encrypted information about the downfall of the Soviet Union. But the man with the moustache, who answers with a pretty awkward code language, does in fact turn out to be Thorsten. Thorsten is no agent, but came to the museum to secretly meet a stranger from a newspaper ad for a hopefully romantic adventure. When he finds out that top-secret information has been leaked to a grocery clerk, Dave has only one chance to undo his mistake and save national security.
