VIII: Havoc
It hung on the wall next to the filing cabinet. One day to a page. One number to a sheet.
Jean Havoc was rather pleased with his life at the moment. He smiled across at Fuery who was deeply engrossed in some schematic diagrams. He leant back in his chair and twirled the unlit cigarette between his lips.
"Where is the Colonel?" Hawkeye's voice came from the doorway and everyone looked up.
Breda and Falman shrugged. Fuery just looked blank.
"Florist's." Havoc spoke before she could shoot at his Kain.
"Why would he go there?" "How do you know that?" The questions came at him.
"I heard him organise it as I was changing the calendar this morning." Havoc shrugged. "I assume he has a new girlfriend and wants to give her flowers."
"The Colonel was here before anyone else?" Hawkeye frowned.
"It's not unheard of, Hawkeye. Sometimes he slips in late at night as well." Havoc grinned. "Some of the staff secretaries start very early and others are on the late shift. It's like the Chief's hunting season."
"A new girlfriend? What odds it won't last the week?" Breda said.
Even Havoc missed the thoughtful expression on Hawkeye's face.
