#1: Hi, coffee?

#2: Thanks, yes I need it

#3: Sure

#1: How are things at home.

#2: Sleeping on the couch. Trip to Egypt is cancelled. My wife does not want to believe in monsters.

#3: Ouch

#1: Indeed. Why is legal here? Not that we don’t appreciate you, but this is unusual.

#3: He’s got ideas. Understandable even.

#2: Yes.

#1: Now? Please tell me I am suspecting wrong. When was he told?

#3: 90 minutes before the announcement

#1: WTF?

#3: The old one thought he wanted her desk. Didn’t trust him.

This novel's true home is a different platform. Support the author by finding it there.

#2: I can’t say she was wrong on his ambitions.

#1: That explains the nature of the material I was told to cover.

#2: You didn’t know.

#1: Nope

#2: O glory and sunshine

#3: He thinks they are traitors.

#2: Are they?

#3: Not doable. You can’t get people for not telling the government something unless there is a specific law. Not even not telling them that our most fundamental assumption about the universe is wrong.

#1: We will need to continue the projects. You’ll be charged with finding some reason.

#3. Already done. A state of national defense helps immensely. They are holding assets vital to national defense after all. I didn’t even have to knock out my sense of ethics.

#2: Anything sensitive in the papers?

#1: The source, technically.

#2: Even I don’t know that.

#1: There is nothing to know. We got it from the Mossad. The company in Russia was their front.

#3: So they did penetrate theirs.

#1: That’s a plausible assumption. But still only an assumption.
