Reese: SI Eliot! Wait up. I’m glad I caught you.
SI Eliot: Is this urgent, Parsons? I’m about to step into a meeting
with the Director.
Reese: It’s about the jobs you offered Mr. Miazga and Miss Tennison?
SI Eliot: You can just call them Leonard and Myka, Agent Parsons. We
all know that you’re friends with them. I assume that you’re worried about
what our angle is. I assure you that there is no nefarious purpose to our
offers. Very few people know what we know, and we would like to keep it that
way, at least for now. We believe that the two of them possess valuable
skills and knowledge that we may need in the future.
Reese: Well, what about the others; the other three freewomen, and
the escapees?
SI Eliot: They have received their own job offers.
Reese: Really?
SI Eliot: Yes. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I really must get in there.
OSI Director: It’s all right, Hisham. This meeting is about him,
after all. He may as well be there. It’s not like I need your permission to
proceed.
SI Hisham Eliot: Very well. After you, Agent Parsons.
Reese: *stepping into the conference room, and sitting down* This
meeting is about me? In what context, may I ask?
OSI Director: How long have you been on loan to us from Fugitive
Services?
Reese: A few months.
OSI Director: And before that? How long were you in FS?
Reese: About eleven years, sir.
OSI Director: That’s a decent run. *pauses* How would you like a job
here?
Reese: I thought I did a job here, don’t I? My tenure was marked as
indefinite.
OSI Director: That’s what I’m saying. Let’s define it. Let’s decide
that you’re no longer on loan, but a fulltime permanent employee of the
Office of Special Investigations.
Reese: This is...unexpected. I always assumed that I would go back. I
never thought about doing anything else. I barely unpacked my belongings in
my office here.
OSI Director: That’s probably for the best. If you agreed, we would
give you a new one.
Reese: Sir?
Hisham: She wants you to lead the staff of a new department of
national security, incorporating personnel and resources from a number of
other branches and divisions. You would not be in charge of the office
itself, but you would be managing the employees, which would include your
friends, and the other...consultants. The National Commander has been
discussing doing something like this with us, and the Assembly, for a while
now. Officially, the name of this department would be the Department of
Exogenic Affairs. Since there’s already a DEA, it would be known as DExA for
short.
OSI Director: Does that sound like something that you would be
interested in?
Reese: Again, this is quite the surprise. I suppose I should have
guessed that something in government would change as a result of these
developments, but I never thought I would be considered for a leadership
role. I only have de facto experience.
OSI Director: We believe that’s enough. Why don’t you think it over,
and get back to us in two days, okay? NatCo wants to get the ball rolling by
the end of this month.
