Detective Nick is talking to his boss about the case
Trang 26Jonny Silver is only 29, but he has played many different roles He’s worked in a nightclub, he’s sold cars and he's even been a school teacher! But Jonny isn’t an
actor; he's a secret agent He works undercover for High London Police Force
1C
‘Well, | joined the police force ten years a:
been working undercover for seven years,
au Yes, it's ‘Operation Mona Lisa’
‘Are you going to pretend to bea thief?
No, I'm going to be an art collector
3
No, never! I can’t even draw!
So how have you been preparing for this role?
Well, for about six weeks I've been going to art classes
an paintings But that’s not all 'm going to pretend to be a multi-millionaire ship owner My lucky ‘character’ owns huge yachts
e been learning about famous artists and
do you knowall about boats?
No! | grew up in a mountain village ve 1006 001016 yacht in my life!
4
Yes! You bet! You have to do a lat of ‘homework’ before
you go undercover In the last six months I've read hundreds of books about yachts and I've been going to
sailing classes, too
‘Do you have any advice for anyone who wants to work
undercover?
Yes ~ it's hard work You must be patient and you must stay calm at all times You must never panic When you panic, people get suspicious, and then you're in trouble
Be Not exactly, but 've had a difficult moment A couple
of years ago | was wearing special sunglasses with a hidden camera for me to record private conversations
While | wasn’t looking, a gang member picked up my sunglasses by mistake My heart nearly stopped!
What did you do?
pretended to trip over and while | was falling | grabbed him He dropped the glasses, and immediately | stood
on them Luckily, he didn’t suspect me
Well, thank you Jonny, we wish you all the best So, ° readers, next time you're thinking about your future job, will you consider undercover work? Or does this sound too dangerous? These detectives play a role — but it's not a movie role — it's their life!
