“Huh didn’t see you as the tater tot type,” Vanessa looked at the man skeptically for a second. He was built too athletic to indulge probably often or he worked out enough that he could eat anything he wanted. “Okay, so tonight it has been me peppering you with questions. So hit me,” she brushed off her hands. “What had you always wanted to know about Vanessa Slade and were afraid to ask.”

Tom sat silent for a moment. He’d never had the opportunity to have this questions asked of him. After all, he knew dossiers were never complete and that there were plenty of things that never made it to ‘official’ records.

“I’m out of practice in socializing. I’m not really sure what to ask.” he said sheepishly.

Tom looked thoughtful for a bit.

“What else do you like to do in your leisure time besides movies?”

• Tom

“Usually sleep,” he let out a laugh. “I tend to do a lot of OTB therapy.” Taking a sip of coffee she then replied, “out of the box so I spend hours doing all sorts of activities. Tends to keep me active so when I come home or stop moving I fall asleep. It is like I have self induced narcolepsy. When I am not sleeping I am a barfly in the lounge.”

“I hope you don’t get mad that I disappeared on you after the first ten minutes of our time together and/or get unnerved after watching the recording, redacted of course to omit any classified materials.” Tom said smiling warmly at Vanessa.
