Max and 99 went into the Chief's office. A blond-haired woman was there. They said their hellos.

"I wanted to introduce you to your newest agent," said the Chief. "This is Agent 148, also known as Ellen Peters. Miss Peters, this is Maxwell Smart and Agent 99."

"Pleased to meet you, Agent 148," said Max.

He held out his arm toward her, then noticed something odd: She wore a sleeveless shirt that stood limply over her.

She had no arms!

He dropped his hand. "Er, sorry about that!"

She smiled. "No need to feel embarrassed. I get that reaction all the time! Pleased to meet you, Max and 99."

They both said hi.

"Agent 148 is an expert at safe cracking," said the Chief.

"Safe cracking?," a shocked Max and 99 said together.

"Perhaps they would like a demonstration," said Ellen. "Shall I?"

"Yes, go right ahead," said the Chief.

There was a safe on the floor of the office. She took her shoes off and lied down beside it. She unzipped a pocket on her left pants leg, using her right toes. Then she put her foot in the pocket and came out with a safe cracking too. She straightened it and put it into the lock, using her toes.

Within a minute, she had the door open!

They cheered.

"That's amazing, honey!," said 99.

"You've got very talented toes!," said Max.

She smiled. "Thank you." She shut the door with her foot, then put the tool back in her pocket, also with her foot. Then she stood up.

"Can I try a combination lock?"

"Be my guest," said the Chief.

He pushed a buzzer on his desk. A partition opened in the wall, revealing a combination safe. It was behind the Chief's desk.

"Excuse me, Chief," she said, and she sat on top of his desk. She extended her right leg up and placed her toes on the dial.

"Our feet have more nerve endings than our hands," she said to them. "We should use them more than just for walking."

"I didn't know that!," said Max.

She began turning the dial with her toes. She worked slowly, feeling the clicks.

In two minutes, she had the safe opened!

Again, they cheered. She shut the safe and got off the desk.

"You can pick locks with your feet better than I can with my hands!"

"Thank you, Mr. Smart."

"Could you teach me how to do that, sometime?"

"Sure, 99." She put her shoes back on. "Well, I've got to be going, now. That is, unless you have something else, Chief?"

"Nothing else, at the moment. I just wanted you to meet Max and 99."

They said their goodbyes. 99 kissed Ellen on the cheek. Max knelt and extended his arm out to her; she responded by taking her right shoe off and lifting the foot up, which he shook!
