Fandom High Library [Weds, July 29]

[talentforlying]

John had been up for ages, really, or hadn't been to bed yet, one of the two. Either way, he had been out for a fag, looked up as he took that first, sweet drag, and... fucking hell.

He was going to have to open the bloody library to the public, wasn't he? And he'd been getting so much done in Special Collections on the days he didn't have aides to worry about.

He'd pulled on trousers and a shirt (thank (or curse) your god(s)) and stopped long enough to pick up a new pack of smokes and a box of donuts. Because fuck if he was going to start saving the world without breakfast.

The Fandom High Library was open, and the Librarian was in.

Lottie chewed on the end of her pen. "Okay," she said. "And who exactly are you? Other than 'the world's biggest computer genius'."

"Kinzie Kensington. Ex-FBI, current Press Secretary to the White House," Kinzie said. "That's the least interesting part. Continue."

You could tell she made a fantastic press secretary. (Not really.)

"What assurances do we have that you are not an alien yourself, or part of a vast alien conspiracy in the American government?"

Lottie might be an expert at mysteries, but she was also still a fourteen year old.

"I could send you my full record of service with the FBI, but then they'd have to kill you," Kinzie said cheerfully, "So you're just going to have to roll with it, considering right now I'm the only one who has an opening into that thing's systems."

"Hmm." Lottie chewed on her pen again. "I s'pose you make a valid point. And you are offerin to teach us how to code." She smiled brightly. "Okay! Let's hack some aliens!"

"Let's hack some aliens!" Kinzie agreed. "Please tell me you know how to use a computer? Or at least program a VCR?"

Her standards were low.

"Pffft," Lottie said. "I am an internet native. I can send sixty texts a minute!"

She had never actually timed it. But she'd heard old timey secretaries talk like that before.

"You still use text messaging?" Kinzie groaned. "Okay. Grab an actual keyboard and sit down."
