Josh leaned up against a desk in the Danger Room, hands in his pocket and a grin on his face.

"President Andrew Jackson, in the main foyer of his White House, had a big block of cheese and I can't believe I'm giving this speech," he began. "He did not, sadly, have a cracker the size of Lake Tahoe. I checked. My old boss, the White House Chief of Staff, used this folksy excuse to make us all talk to total crackpots once a year and today that privilege falls to you."

He waved his hands. "Pick a desk, make yourself comfortable, the computer'll drop someone insane off to talk to you. Try not to laugh in their faces--they're all based on real people. Um, sadly."

"Don't go near the coffee pot. Just keep your head down and scurry past him," Isabel told him. "If you go near the coffee, he'll think you're going to take the last drop and get twitchy. You don't want that to happen."

"Thank you," the man whispered as he crawled out from under his chair, then bolted from the room, not making eye contact with anyone.

Josh watched him race past. "Do I want to know?"

"Probably not," she laughed. "I'm so going to hell and it's all your fault."

"I'll be glad to have the company," Josh said, grinning.
