"FISH IN A BARREL"

KROPIK WAS EATING A liverwurst sandwich when the kid came in. No more

than seventeen, the boy had the obnoxious look of some one too smart

for his own good. A wiseguy but no wise guy. He marched right through

the open door and stopped in the middle of the nondescript office. Two

windows, two large filing cabinets, two brown wastebaskets, two dented

and scratched green/brown metal desks. On the wall was a photograph of

the most recent President of the United States.

The boy looked slowly around, as if trying to decide whether or not to

buy the place.

Kropik dabbed delicately at his small round mouth with a white pa. per

napkin and folded it carefully into quarters before dropping it into a

wastebasket next to his desk. Plus the kid had red hair. If there was

one thing Kropik didn't like, it was red hair.

"I found you!"

"You certainly did."

"I cannot fucking believe it! This place is a rumor, a myth. But here

I am, I'm actually here!"

Kropik disliked that kind of language but refrained from protesting.

Red hair and a dirty mouth. What a distressing combination.

Embarrassed, he looked at his half-eaten sandwich. Liverwurst and

Bermuda onion. Creating a good liverwurst sandwich was a modest feat

but a satisfying one nevertheless. The secret was in knowing the

correct brand of German mustard to use and the exact width of the

onion slice

"So. I made it. Now what?"

"How did you find us?"

The boy crossed his arms and smiled "I have my ways." One could almost

smell his smugness wafting across the room.

"We are in the phone book. You only have to look us up. We're also on

the Internet under governmental offices. It's just that few people

bother."

That took the wind out of the boy's sails. And how would one define

the precise color of that awful hair? More orange than red, it was the

color of a carrot left in the refrigerator too long. Exactly! Dead

carrot red.

"There wasn't even a name on the door or anything."

"People find us if they want to. We're a government agency. It just

takes a little looking."

"I found you."
