The assignment to scam inner-city voters into thinking election deadlines had been extended came, as always, without a face or name attached.

Jane and Dick didn’t like its odds of success.

“Inner-city voters are savvy about election-day tricks,” Dick said. “They’re voting early to protect themselves.”

“Got an idea,” Jane said, “instead of targeting minorities, let’s try our first ‘false-flag’ operation.

“We blanket red voting districts with emails filled with woke phrases and plant conspiracy theories that they came from Antifa.”

“Totally,” Dick said. “False-flags would look awesome on our capabilities list.”

“Do we need a client sign-off?”

“No idea who the fuck they are,” Jane said. “Besides, their Zelle posted on our offshore last night.”
