Everybody in the CIA knew that August Anderson was extremely over-qualified for the grunt work he was doing. The older data analyst rarely dealt with anybody else within the agency, merely arriving at work each day and going through intelligence for nine hours. He took breaks like clockwork, in the morning to get coffee and mid day to go to the gym. He drank a protein shake at his desk for lunch and at 5:15 every day he used his red and white cane to leave the building and meet the ride-share van. He wore a wedding band, so everybody assumed he had a wife waiting at home.
Occasionally he was pulled from his desk to go to meetings with some other departments. He always protested the interruption and came back from those irritable, as if somebody had picked at an old wound. He wanted nothing to do with field operations.
There were many rumors about Anderson. Most of his newer coworkers assumed that his anti-social ways were related to the injury that took his sight. The people that had been around a while knew that he had experience as a highly competent handler after being blinded. He even accomplished some impressive fieldwork without his sight.
The truth was, August Anderson lost all interest in the excitement of spycraft, after being deceived by Annie Walker.
