Yes?

I'm just checking, Agent, but isn't there something in the DOJ code of conduct about kissing people you are professionally interested in? I'm sure it's suitably bureaucratically vague, but it must be in there.

She's not a suspect. I didn't so anything wrong.

How do you know about this?

She's barely out of childhood. I don't care what her driver's license says. And you are still involved with her professionally.

*waves her fingers tips dramatically* I know things.

Did she tell you I told her to stop? Did she tell you I passed out? And yes, I know that means she told you.

Don't worry. It won't be happening again.

She said you passed out. She said it wasn't more than kissing. You and I both know that isn't the point at all.

She thinks you walk on water at the moment, something we both know isn't true. I don't think you can understand what you've done here.

So, let me see if I have this straight. You summoned me to tell me how what I did was wrong, when I didn't do anything.

Are you her mother?

I called you to be sure you realize even the little you did was wrong and just how wrong. Just a kiss. Are you really that blind?

*Collects herself.* No, she doesn't have one of those from what I can tell. At the moment it's enough I'm a concerned citizen, but I do hope she considers me a friend.

Then be a concerned citizen somewhere else.

Is that what you really want? It isn't that difficult to find out who your supervisor is.

More than I care about getting you in trouble, which I'll admit I would find amusing, I care that she not feel used or injured by your lack of control. *Takes a deep breath.* I like the girl.

If you find out who my supervisor is, could you tell me? I haven't known in at least five years.

My lack of control? Thank you for putting all the responsibility on me. I appreciate that immensely.

I'd be happy to. Complete with informing him just how seriously you take your work.

Yes, YOUR lack of control. You are the one in a position of authority, the one with the heavier responsibility. *Shakes her head.* Perhaps in the moment that wasn't how it felt, but you know that's how it IS.

Do not make the mistake of presuming to know me, ma'am. It will not go well for you, I think. Something about you might well attract my department's attention.

*Laughs bitterly.* Well, it's good to know my first impression of you wasn't wrong. When I say you might just have abused your authority, you threaten me with that same authority. Charming.

Hurting that girl will not go well for you. She deserves much better than your carelessness.

You will have to pardon my language, ma'am. But mind your own fucking business.

Now, if there isn't anything else?

The casual misuse of another human being is my business. It should be everyone's.

Unless you are prepared to do right by that girl, keep your hands to yourself and your dick in your pants. *Smiles very sweetly.* That's all. You can go back to harassing other monsters like me.

Thank you for continuing to demonstrate that you do not know me. And I have every intention of being my dick in my pants, thank you very much.

I only know what you've said to me and what I know of your actions. It seemed a reasonable instruction.

If I am wrong, I will be pleased to discover it and I will offer an apology. *If* I am wrong.

Pride's a sin.

*Laughs* And I'm sure you'll tell your confessor all about it. Happily, I don't have to deal with that particular ideology.

Not my place to confess another's sins.

Then perhaps, sir, you should look a bit more closely at your own?

*sighs heavily* She's a good kid. Do you even care what you could do to her?

If I didn't care, I would have bedded her last night. You realize that, don't you. My restrain was as much to do with her and it was with me.

However, since you seem determined to hold me out as the villain, I will take the villain's way out. Good day.

*nods slowly* A good point, I admit. I do not hold you as the villain, merely the more responsible party. I'm relieved to hear you did consider her.

Good day, Agent Everton. I will not trouble you about this again except at her request. *bows slightly and drops it*
