When Marion walked out of her office, only to find that Skinner had disappeared, she looked over at her the next member of the League that she was going to question. Thomas Sawyer, of the American Secret Service, was slumped in his chair out of boredom. Marion smiled at the young Agent, then stepped over to him.
"Agent Sawyer?" She asked, raising her left brow. Tom didn't seem to respond to her. "Agent Sawyer?" She said again, this time Tom jumped out of his thoughts.
"That's me!" He said cheerfully, springing up out of his seat, now looking more interested now that he wasn't sat around doing nothing.
Marion nodded "If you'd like to follow me, Agent Sawyer.." She said before turning and walking into her office.
Tom nodded and followed her inside, she closed the door and took her seat behind the pine table. Tom looked around at the office, it was incredibly tidy, and he sat down in the leather seat on the Other side of the table.
"Now, what does a secret Agent Like you do in your spare time?" Marion asked, she had asked Skinner almost the same question, and she got some crazy results from the invisible man.
Tom scratched the back of his neck, he thought for a moment before replying "Oh well, it depends, on most days I play Poker with Skinner and Allan, and somehow, Skinner always seems to win." Tom said.
Marion had began to write down Tom's answer, then she asked him another question. "I heard that Quatermain had died when you were tracking the Fantom, who turned out to be James Moriarty, does he ever haunt your dreams?"
"He does actually its rather annoying too, he just starts talking about how I should be the League's leader and I always land up soaked in his saliva cause' he can't pronounce his S's right. That's what bugs me the most." Tom explained, saying all this rather fast.
Marion smirked as she thought up an interesting question that wasn't on her checklist. "Tell me about one thing that changed your life forever." She asked of him.
Tom sighed, but knew exactly what his answer would be. "Well. One thing that changed my life forever was losing my best friend. Huckleberry Finn. We worked together, in the Secret Service. Got sent out on a mission together to try and stop the Fantom. I managed to escape, but Huck wasn't so lucky." Tom said, telling her the tale of their last mission together.
Marion looked sad at what the agent had told her. She stood up, searching through her files until she pulled out a folder with the words: 'Agent Huck Finn' written on the spine. She sat back down and handed it to Tom, who just gave her a quizzical look. "This is the interview I had with your friend, it also chronicles everything of his life, you are welcome to read it and to return it by post when you are done." Marion told him, giving Tom a gentle smile.
"Wow…thank you Miss Wright." Tom said, glad that she let him borrow some important documents.
Marion nodded in return, dusting down her skirts "It has been a pleasure, Agent Sawyer." She said, stating the interview was over.
"Just call me Tom, please." Tom said with a light shrug, then turned to the door, turning the knob.
"Thank you, Tom." Marion corrected, then watched as he passed through the doorway and back into the waiting room…
