No, no he wasn’t. Conley decided upon a short reflection. He was simply that predicable.

As was Sachin…sometimes. No…not really. Only when it came to tea. Conley sat back in his chair sipping on his cup of tea and the coy smile returned as he watched Sachin fix his drink.

The tea eased some of his hunger pains and he put the cup back down on the desk and picked up a pen as Sachin began talking. He nodded as he scribbled down a few notes to relay to his testers and to Imports. His head snapped up sharply and his heart started racing upon hearing the word ‘sick.’ ”Anything we should be concerned about?” he asked without thinking, his voice perhaps a bit brittle sounding. The word had caused bile to creep it's way up the back of Conley's throat and his chest had constricted as fear bubbled up, threatening to engulf him. His eyes darted to the door and upon seeing it closed, he took a deep breath and put down his pen. He forced himself to lean back in his chair as if nothing was wrong.

”Sorry,” he said softly, feeling rather embarrassed. He knew Sachin would understand why he had reacted the way he had. And while his comment wasn’t that out of the ordinary if someone had happened by and overheard them, still. Reacting like that was unprofessional and Conley was now angry with himself. Unprofessional and inappropriate, he chastised himself as he rubbed the crease between his eyebrows. One needs to be in control of their emotions in this field of work.

He picked up his teacup and took a sip, hoping it would get the nasty taste out of his mouth. It didn’t, but the action did help him focus. ”Any reports of stolen passports or missing wallets? Identify thefts? Black market goods showing up or being shipped out? Things of that nature?” he inquired, trying to move on in the conversation. He had, after all, called Sachin to his office for a reason.


Sachin found himself smirking just a tad at Conley’s reaction. Really, he enjoyed being spot on when it came to zoning in on the man’s goings... or non- doings. In this case, the non- doing was, as usual, not eating. Sachin refrained himself from smirking any wider. But at least he’d settle and be happy for now that Conley was having tea. He allowed himself to stare and admire as the Department Head made notes. Had there been anyone else there in the office there, naturally he wouldn’t be staring but they had been away from each other for a few days. Sachin had missed Conley very mush as always.

“No, no,’’ the Ambassador hastily said in reassurance. “It’s been taking care of.’’ He bit his lower lip, hating to bring bad news especially if it involved some sort of sickness. He longed to reach out, to take Conley’s hand but he resisted with difficulty. “Everyone will be fine. Don’t worry about it. It’ll be just a short delay with the carpets and nothing more.’’ All the locals would be safe and sound.

Sachin took a sip of tea then slowly lowered his cup. He had a feeling they had touched upon the topic Conley had wanted to discuss. “There have been mentions about a few misplaced passports. Is this a situation where the passports are more than misplaced?”
