Just as concerning as the fact that you've been planted on the wrong person is the fact that whoever this person is, they've already given Miss Hensley the slip! You ponder her final words to you before the line went completely dead. "...Get help..." Was she saying she would get help, or was she asking you to get help? The static made it impossible to tell. Whatever the case, it's best to assume you are completely alone, for now.
A spy no longer.
Naught but a lost, confused ant
in a world of gods
You flick your flashlight on and begin to survey your surroundings and see what sort of secret lair you have fallen into. Shining the light first into the distance, you determine the obvious. You appear to be in a container of some sort, one with soft, cushy walls with a checkerboard design, not a surprise given the soft cushiness of the unknown surface yo're standing on. Perhaps you're in the purse of some femme fatale, you ponder, as you further examine your surroundings
The purse's walls are lined with numerous pouches. The first thing you notice is a zipped up pouch radiant with a brilliant light, the telltale glow of a cell phone poking out through an opened zipper. Not yet attuned to the brilliant light of the phone, you turn your attention elsewhere. Curious and brightly colored plastic objects protrude from a pair of pouches, one of them blue, one of them pink. Turning your light elsewhere, you are met with a truly shocking sight.
A gigantic golem resembling an uncanny humanoid rabbit stands in the corner of the purse, the apparent war machine eyeing you with intrigue. But upon further inspection, you find that this 'golem' seems to merely be a plush animal of some sort. Your initial fear subsides, but you begin to feel the inkling of another concern begin to stir in your gut. Surveying the purse's interior further, you look to the ground at the base of the bunny. You see a pair of artifacts resembling crystalline serpent-dragons, once more a sight that at least creates the impression of unorthodox automata waiting to be activated. But , as with the rabbit, further inspection reveals a decidedly less impressive sight. They appear to be necklaces with beads in the shape of crude, mass-produced animal effigies in a myriad of colors. Looking near the necklaces, you see a bag containing what first appears to be an army of humanoids twice your height, which you quickly recognize to be a bag of gummy bears. Beside the bag of gummy bears is a bag of cheerios, and a bag full of stickers, with a label only partly visible to you. "...per decorations."
With your suspicions about your surroundings growing, you turn your light downward and look at your immediate surroundings. You appear to be on a white surface, one that looks distinctly different from the subdued checkerboard patterning of the purse's edges and pouches. Various patches of color adorn the surface, though from your point of view it is difficult to determine what they mean. You begin to surmise that you're likely on a cloth, towel, or garment. As you turn your light this way and that and look at the surface, you soon make out a word printed onto the surface, outlined in bold blue coloring. "BACK." Hmm..
Turning your light elsewhere, you see another such garment, this one distant enough for you to have a clear and unmistakable look at its design. You see an enormous picture of 'cute' cartoon character's face, with the word LUVS printed beside it, accompanied by white and pink colorations. A chance shifting of the bag you're in sends you staggering forward, though you manage to quickly right yourself. Looking forward, you see that the bag of stickers has shifted and its label is now unmistakable, reading 'diaper decorations.'
You feel a strong sense of dread, one that you honestly feel quite silly about, but are in no position to quash, as you realize where you are. You have not landed in a purse, but in a diaper bag! A quick look at the various pouches and contents reveal a myriad of baby products you likely don't have the parenting skills to be familiar with, but there's no denying where you have fallen. Looking further at the confines of the diaper bag, you conclude that the woman likely has two babies, a boy and a girl, judging by the combination of pink and blue sippy cups.
You ponder your next move. The owner of the purse is no doubt completely oblivious to your presence and likely not party to any interesting criminal conspiracies, but at the same time the fact that the contents of this bag are likely to see heavy use, and likely wind up in the clutches of a pair of colossal babies, gives you cause for concern. On the one hand, you are safe in the immediate term. On the other hand, staying in here indefinitely is likely hazardous to your health , not to mention the fact that you highly doubt any of your associates would think it possible that one of their elite spies is stuck in a diaper bag.
The interior of the purse provides an obvious avenue of escape. The pink and white diaper in the distance, in contrast to the one you're standing on, is aligned near vertically, and happens to be conveniently positioned near the diaper bag's zipper. A thin crack of light emerges from the diaper bag's 'ceiling,' meaning there is a way out. However, a chance shake of the purse could send you tumbling into the interior of the diaper, and you cannot guarantee you'd be able to make it out.
The cell phone is another obvious option. If you could operate it, you could try to reach out for help. You're sure your comrades could invent an excuse to search the diaper bag and extract you if only they knew where you were (but what a large 'if' that is!) Of course, most people put a passcode on their phones, and you cannot be sure if your tiny body can even operate it...
Finally, you could take shelter within the purse for the time being. A conservative approach, but one that won't risk you getting permanently stuck -possibly suffocating or starving - at the bottom of the cell phone pouch or finding yourself stupidly trapped inside of a giant diaper.
