The Library Is Open (12/05/05)

Janet unlocks the library and flips on the lights.

Sitting on the Collections Desk is a package addressed to "Adam Pierson." The envelope is embossed with an unusual symbol, the meaning of which Janet didn't know. Except she did, because she steamed open the last envelope that came with that symbol on it. But she couldn't do that to this package without getting caught. And that was really starting to bug her.

She moved the package behind the Collections Desk and glared at it until the first library patron showed up.

She stares at him for a second, then breaks into a harsh laugh. "Untoward. God, yeah." Parker takes a deep breath. "Thanks, Adama."

"I'm putting my foot in my mouth, aren't I?" he asks, a little pale.

"It's not you, it's me," she mutters, looking away. "And you're not. I just--" She forced a smile. "Boyfriend issues. Forget it. You're a good guy for asking."

Lee nods and doesn't pursue. "Another cookie?" he asks.

"Please," Parker says gratefully.

Lee is happy to oblige. "So, any new and exciting plans?"

Eviscerating my boyfriend. "I'm supposed to be helping plan the after-semester party, and a Christmas party for Mr. Phale's bookshop in town. And working on my father to agree to a trip to New York over break. You? Are you going back to the Colonies, or staying here?"

Staying here, I think, as the plot of ABSOLUTE DOOM AND DESTRUCTION unfolds," he replies. "When's the after-semester party?"

"The week after finals, probably Friday the 16th," she said. Oh noes! DOOM AND DESTRUCTION, WOE! "It won't be dance, we don't have time to plan that, but maybe a pizza-and-ice-cream and movie party." She cocked her head. "Are you family going to visit, or did you get enough of them over Thanksgiving?"
