“Hey, you’re a serial biller.” The weak joke lay between them.

Chris loved her for it.

“They really must be desperate,” she said. “I mean, what are they going to find on your PC? Links to support sites? Software patches. He’s been doing his job too diligently, arrest him.”

“Thanks, Beck.”

Chris hung up and went on to spend the evening channel-surfing. Eventually he must have dozed off. When he jerked awake an ancient western was playing.

He wiped his mouth clean of sour drool and sat up on the love seat. He flicked the TV

through a few more channels, but now it was either news or old movies and neither interested him tonight.

He finally gave up and climbed to his feet; his bare toes curled away from the cold tile in the kitchen. He rinsed his wine glass in the sink and set it on the draining board, then washed his mouth out with tepid water from the tap.

He was halfway up the earth-tone tiled stairs when someone started pounding on his front door.

Chris turned on the atrium light. He peered outside, dancing from foot to foot; the tile cold compared to the promised warmth of his carpeted bedroom.

It was David.

He was leaning against the inner courtyard wall, his tie lying askew on his thick neck.

His shirt looked like it had been unbuttoned, then done back up crooked. Dark hair peeked out from between buttons. He raised his hand to pound on the door again and nearly fell down the single stone step into the driveway.

David was drunk.

Opening the door carefully so as not to startle him, Chris waited for David to notice him. David tried to smile when he caught sight of him. It looked ghastly.

“Wasn’t sure you’d be home,” he said. “You’re just like me, always working...

workaholic. Kind of a two.”

“You mean two of a kind?”

“Said that. You gonna let me in?”
