“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

His and Martin’s relationship had slid from friendship into something deeper and intertwined so smoothly that there was never a date he could point to on a calendar and say ‘Yes, here is where our relationship began and I will put that into box 14A.\u2019<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The amount of information that people willingly gave up out there made the job of the Agency and similar organizations so much easier.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
