“SO THAT’S ALL THERE is to it,” I told her.

“Alan, you went against the Board’s instructions.”

“Those instructions were never communicated to me.”

“They were communicated to the entire team by the CEO of the company. Viridian was dead.”

“Lazarus, come forth!” I said.

Sandra laughed, which I took as a good sign, both in terms of how much trouble I was in and my IRL crush’s education. “Rob is going to be so pissed.”

“Pissed as in ‘Fire Alan’ or pissed as in ‘Why couldn’t he do this before I bent over in front of the Board?’”

Sandra didn’t answer for a moment. I waited. I found people who took a second to think gave answers worth waiting for. “It might be a bit of both. Wagner is going to claim Robert knew about this. But when Viridian moves forward, the shareholders are going to be ecstatic. The bigger the stink Wagner makes, the stronger the blowback. This might be what we need to get him fired. You’ll play along?”

“As long as you keep me in the loop? Yeah, within reason.”

“Rob will—”

“You, Sandra. I know Rob cuts his losses when he has to.”

Another pause. “All right.”

“If it helps, I own the configuration data.”

“You what?”

“I own the configuration data. All the changes Jeff and Kronos made, they’re mine.”

“How do you figure?”

“They scanned my brain.”

“With your permission.”

“I didn’t sign any consent forms.”

“You’re an employee of the company, Alan.”

“An employee of the company who took on a side project in his own spare time. Viridian died, remember? The CEO announced it in front of a hundred people.”

“Okay. Yeah, that could work. Just don’t try it with Robert or he’ll pay you off and spend the next ten years ruining you. Did you plan this?”

“I might have thought of it.” I hadn’t until now, but I wasn’t going to pass up a chance to look smarter than I was. You can blame Horace or Sandra’s legs, whichever makes you feel better.
