go ahead, mrs worth repeated, what do you think the biggest business in the world is?
bacon and egg sandwiches. speaking of which, i could go for one right now.
that is not correct. want to try again?
peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. i would settle for one of those.
for someone whose life is about to undergo a radical transformation, you certainly have snacks on the brain.
snacks? i am starving.
neither of those answers is correct, mrs worth replied, ignoring johnny’s plea. want to make one last guess?
no. why don’t you just tell me?
kinetic promulgation. the biggest business in the world is kinetic promulgation, and you have have been recruited into its ranks.
why me? i am not a kinetic and i don’t know how to promulgate anything.
you don’t need any prior knowledge. you will be trained from the ground up.
great, just give me something to eat.
you have a one track mind, don’t you? i think i will assign you to the territorial expansion division.
whatever.
any questions?
um - do i get to wear a uniform?
why? would you like to wear one?
i was just asking.
you might wear one, after you are trained, and depending on your assignment. anything else?
not really. i just asked about the uniform because you wanted me to say something and you would get all hot and bothered if i asked about food again.
i have a question for you, mrs worth said, eyeing johnny with a steely resolve.
shoot.
what were you doing out on highway 65, desperately seeking transportation?
i would prefer not to say.
mrs worth shrugged. your brain will be scanned, and we will find out eventually anyway.
be that as it may, johnny replied evenly, i would prefer to keep my own counsel at this particular point in time.
have it your way. mrs worth pressed a button on the underside of her desk. wait outside, someone will come along for you.
