remark, ” said
Chris.
    “I like the
second one. Let ’ s watch that
one, ” said Gerry.
    “Shut up, I
mean shush, it ’ s
starting, ” said Sadie.
    Chris caught
Sadie ’ s eye and smiled at her. She tried not to return the
smile and defended herself with the classic line, “ I don ’ t even like
you. ” Another set of groans from Louise and Gerry ended the
disruptions.
    “When are you
going to be home tomorrow? ” asked Sadie, as the
two lied in bed.
    “You know I
don ’ t know that. ”
    “I
don ’ t care if you don ’ t know. Come up with
a time. ”
    “Why?
You ’ re just going to get upset when I
don ’ t come back during that time. ”
    “Yeah, so you
better come up with a good one. ”
    “I ’ ll call you tomorrow during lunch to let you know
how it ’ s going and try to give you a time. ”
    “Or I will
call you. You were supposed to be mine this week and I will call
you any time I want to now. ”
    “What if
I ’ m in a meeting? It might really be a good
job. ”
    “It might, but
I don ’ t care. Your job is to be with me this week. Not with
Frank at some lab. ”
    Chris smiled
at his wife ’ s scowl, “ You just like me and want me to be with
you. ”
    “I
didn ’ t say that. Stop twisting my words.
Don ’ t look at me like that either. ”
    “Like
what? ” Chris leaned forward to put his face closer to
hers. “ I just want a kiss. ”
    “No. You
don ’ t deserve any kisses. You ’ re leaving me
tomorrow. ”
    Chris positioned himself on top of his wife,
bringing his face closer to hers. She squirmed in protest so he
kissed her neck instead.
    “Such a butt
face, ” said Sadie, and wrapped her arms around
Chris ’ s back to pull him tightly into her. “ You need to get to sleep mister. You ’ ve got work
tomorrow. ” She kissed him on the lips and sent him rolling
back to his side of the bed.
    “Love
you, ” said Chris, as he turned off the light.
    “Love you
too, ” said Sadie. “ Butt
face. ”
    Chris
didn ’ t know what time Frank would pick him up, but he knew
he would. The cell phone rumbled to life at seven with a text
message from Frank, “ Be there in ten
minutes. You ’ re buying
breakfast. ” As quietly and quickly as possible,
Chris skipped from the bedroom to the bathroom to get ready. It was
different and he couldn ’ t help being a little
excited at what might happen today. More time to dress
would ’ ve been nice, though.
    Exactly ten
minutes later, Frank pulled up. Keys and wallet were the last
things to grab, but Chris made it out in time before any honking.
Starbucks proved to be Frank ’ s choice for
breakfast today as he turned into the drive-thru without a word.
Chris handed Frank his debit card at the pay window and after a
couple sips of coffee and two muffins later, the men were ready to
talk.
    “Who are we
seeing by the way? You never mentioned his name, ” said
Chris.
    “Erik Lee. We
graduated together. He ’ s a director of
computer analyses or some shit like that. He has power and can hire
us directly. ”
    “Why
didn ’ t we do this sooner? Before we were
fired. ”
    “I hate him,
but it ’ s a job and I know they ’ re getting a boost in
funding from the federal government to do those experiments, which
means new hires and better salaries than stupid ass
X-Tech. ”
    “You hate
him? ”
    “He ’ s an attention
seeking weasel. ”
    Chris thought
about it for a moment before moving on. “ I only know how
to fix a couple computer problems and set up routers. I
can ’ t program like you. ”
    “I know. They
need technical writers. There ’ s going to be a huge
microscope on top of all this after the president made it public.
They have to have evidence that what is happening is
legal. ”
    “That ’ s kind of surprising.
I guess he is being true to his campaign of a transparent
government. ”
    “Fuckin ’ traffic. ”
    “I still
can ’ t believe they ’ re
real. ”
    “Face it.
