A Plague on Sisters
Good morning, Jack. Is that a molecular detector in your pocket, or are you just happy to see me?
The voice that called out as I passed was female, soft, and sultry as hell. I paused to toss a grin at one of the two women who were occupying the big kidney-shaped desk that graced the front lobby of the Nordic Tech building. Morning, Karin. Would it be against human resources policy if I was to tell you how much I liked that top?
The red-haired receptionist giggled and leaned forward, giving me a better-than-normal view of her cleavage in the skimpy tank top that she liked to wear on casual-dress Fridays. Probably, but Im not going to tell anyone. You know my rule, Jack.
What happens in reception stays in reception? I asked, winking.
She giggled again. Youre so naughty. You look really yummy yourself in khaki. Is that the new Airship Pirates shirt?
It is. Saw them last night at the Foundry, I answered, naming a local hot spot favored by bands that were a bit out of the mainstream. I turned around so she could admire the design on the back of the T-shirt.
Oh, and I was hoping you would ask me to go see them, she said, pouting just a little, and leaning over a bit farther. She traced a finger down my arm as I turned back to face her. We had such fun the last time we went out. Well, until I got sick and had to go home, but I just know we would have fun again.
She paused, clearly waiting for me to do my duty and ask her out again, but the memory of her lying in a drunken stupor in the back of my carnot to mention the money I had to pay to have the vomit cleaned up and the car deodorizedwas enough to warn me against any such thing.
