A TRAGEDY

Once Mark arrives home he goes inside, grabs Debbie, and kisses her. “It’s just you and me tonight,” he says.

Debbie smiles and tells him she’s going to fix him a good dinner tonight of steak and potatoes, and for dessert, home baked cherry pie. Mark tells her that sounds great; he’ll go take a shower while she is cooking.

Mark heads upstairs to the bathroom when the phone rings. Debbie answers the phone. “Hello,” she says. She tells the caller to hold on and goes and gets Mark.

“Mark, it’s the record clerk, Gina, on the phone.”

Mark picks up the phone “Hello?”

“How’s Cleo doing?” Gina asks using the code that Mark told her to use.

“Great. So what have you been up to?” Mark asks.

“Oh nothing, just that it’s a doggie dog world you know.”

“True,” replies Mark.

“You know, my friend got $730.”

Mark remembers their earlier conversion in Gina’s office when he told her how they should contact each other in code. He looks at the clock to see what time it is. Six forty-five pm. “You don’t say.”

Mark tells Gina he’s got to go—his wife is calling him—and that he will talk to her later. They say their goodbyes and then Mark goes and tells Debbie that he’s got some police business and that he will be back later.

“Sure,” she says in a sarcastic tone.

Mark caresses Debbie’s face. “We will talk about this when I get home.”

He kisses Debbie goodbye and then leaves to go to the theatre to meet Gina. Mark arrives at the movie theatre and checks around to make sure he hasn’t been followed. Then, he goes inside.

He buys a ticket for the movie, I Love My Dog, playing at 7:30 pm. He walks inside the theatre and sees Gina sitting in the back row, up against the left side wall. She turns and spots him. He walks over to her. While he is doing this he is also taking observation of who is around in the theatre. No one seems out of place.

Mark sits down next to Gina. “So what is it?” he asks.

“Well…”

He interrupts Gina. “Wait a minute, were you followed?”

“No, no,” she replies.

“Okay, sorry. Continue.”

“Well, like I was about to say, I started to hang out with my friend from the IA records room, and he told me that one of the guys has been looking at the files for the policemen at our precinct.”

“Oh really?” Mark replies, surprised. “Why would he be doing this? As far as I know no one at our office has done anything to warrant an investigation.”

“That’s what I was thinking,” she says. “I tried to get him to give me more information about it but he wouldn’t.”

“Oh man, we have got to find out who the agent is, and get a hold of that information,” Mark replies.

“Yes, that’s also what I was thinking. So I did some digging and—” But just as Gina was about to finish her statement, a group of people sat in front of her and Mark. “Anyways.
