\"Agents<\/a><\/p>\n

“I’m sorry, which one is B-837?” <\/p>\n

“Romantic or sexual involvement with another agency employee or contractor.” <\/p>\n

“I\u2026 um\u2026” Arthur felt his cheeks flush and didn’t know what to say. It had never crossed his mind to fill out the “Fucking Form” as it was referred to by the crasser employees.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

“It’s 6:15 on December 25th. Pack up, we’re having Christmas dinner together.” <\/p>\n

“I was not aware you celebrated Christmas.” <\/p>\n

“I do not, which is why I know every restaurant in this town that is open tonight.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Arthur understood that he didn’t talk, that some days he simply couldn’t talk, that forcing communication beyond the absolute necessary was too much.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Then Martin had turned them to a kitchen supply store and Arthur had nearly died as he wondered how many restaurant-quality pans he could fit in his luggage and how much of his 401k he could spend on knives. And how many knives could he put in his luggage before the TSA got annoyed?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
