i can't believe you're going back already.

i know, it's gone by so fast! it's been such good timing with your building shut down, though. i'm so glad we got to run around the city together. nice little unplanned paid vacation for you.

nah, they won't pay us.

but they must! it's their fault everyone was locked out!

when they kicked us out to remove some kind of toxic mold, we were out for three weeks with no pay.

no!

yep. but it doesn't matter. nice just to be out of there. and all the better that it's while you were here. i feel like back when we were in college, almost, staying out, sleeping late.

it has been lovely. there is something i want to ask you about...

anything.

well, the first day i was here, i was in your little coffee room, and i heard everyone talking.

that's the main thing people do here, if you haven't noticed.

right, right. and i'm sure they were only talking. and i thought i'd just see how it all went, but after a week here i'm still not sure, and as your friend, i felt like i'd really ought to say something...

what's wrong?

well, i wonder, would there be another MG at the office aside from you?

c'mon, what do you think?

right. well, you know i'd never judge, i just worry a bit, but they were saying that they'd found your drugs in the loo and--

my what?

i know maybe it's not really my business, but--

no, anything's your business. what, do you mean the coke they found a few weeks ago?

i don't know, they just said--

was it the little skinny one with the botox?

i couldn't say, really. seemed like all lackeys. the one talking was rather young and mousey, and there was a middle aged lady, and a gay chap--

i think know what's going on here. just when you think things can't get any uglier...
