Clark looked a bit embarassed, but finally spoke.

"I suppose it sounds disloyal to say this, but I hope you and Agent Dancer won't lump me in with my partner."

That gained Clark a sympathetic look. Just imagining having to put up with Warren daily was an unpleasant prospect.

"Have you mentioned to our CEA that you don't care for working with Warren?"

The shocked tone was back in Clark's voice.

"I couldn't do that. Agent Warren is my senior."

"What's that got to do with not being compatible?"

Mark frowned at Clark's confustion.
