My mission is clear; I have to complete the orders in the envelope or face harsh consequences I'd rather not think about. According to the information provided, I must either move the objects in question to a new location. I peer out into the rainy darkness. The sounds of the night are strangely peaceful considering the severity of my job. Although it is increases the chances that I will be seen, I risk turning on the light. The rain subsides as I realize it's now or never. I slink out into onto the deck, carefully closing the door behind me. The objects are carefully moved to the new position as outlined in the documents. There was no sign of enemy activity, and my mission is over. Or so i think.
I move stealthily to make my triumphant retreat, when I suddenly realize to my despair, that the door has locked behind me. This can be bad I thought, there is no back up, no reinforcements are due for 5 more hours. If I didn't return to headquarters in 15 minutes, it could result in a disastrous situation. After racking my brain for many long seconds a back up plan formed. I could circumnavigate the deck railing and drop eight feet down to the underbrush. I could then follow the path back to HQ. The only problem was that although a simple realignment was easy and i could easily pull it off undetected, if I were to be caught during my egress, there would be no telling the horrors that would befall me.
I took a quick look around and made sure that there was no one in sight, and quickly threw one leg over the rail. As I shifted my body over the rail, and brought the other leg over, I continually glanced praying that no one was coming. I swung my lower body out and grabbed the lower part of the rail, swung out and dropped down without a sound.
Without much trouble I found the path that lead back to headquarters where I happily ate some chow, quite relieved at that.

Hmmm what would be good to eat, be cheap and tasty, yet not make a huge mess in the kitchen?
I'll have to go with some honey mustard chicken. Its simple: take chicken, add honey and mustard and throw it on a baking sheet covered in foil, and toss it in the oven. I sliced up some potatoes into french fry shape, seasoned them up, and threw them on the baking sheet too. 25 minutes and dinner will be ready.
Now that dinner is cooking, I'll check the mail. Great, another letter from the Homeowners association. Lets see. I'm in violation of the homeowners association rules for not tying down my potted plants on my deck railing. I can either set them on my deck, or duck tape them down. I guess I'd better go take care of this before the lady across the courtyard complains again.

+2 just because I can't even imagine the hell your girlfriend would have put you through if she had come home to see the kitchen on fire and you locked out on the deck.
