Simply having him note that she should not flaunt her gun as none of his other lab techs are allowed one is signal enough (to my mind).<br /><br />On the whole, very enjoyable!Sean Vieirahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16430896485242882622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-136471062358582351.post-82672628094354924932014-02-24T17:43:18.805-08:002014-02-24T17:43:18.805-08:00The only thought that kept occurring to me over an...The only thought that kept occurring to me over and over and over is, "Holy Crap! They are basically babes in the woods." I would be too paranoid to talk that openly about some of the things, particularly his suspicions about her true purpose, and Daniel Marcus' escape. Of course I am not them. They apparently have a certain amount of trust for the government they are working for, which is completely realistic, either that or they just don't know they are being watched. If she truly is being brought in and given special treatment for some reason, she is under surveillance, and of course that lab would be under surveillance 24/7.Ryanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10149992370708449951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-136471062358582351.post-21803450749076362362014-02-24T10:15:39.707-08:002014-02-24T10:15:39.707-08:00I don't know, you lost me here.

If I was that pessimistic about men -- or, in fact, even just as myself -- I wouldn't be flattered that a man at work called me beautiful and kissed my hand. I would assume he was turning on the charm because he wanted to sleep with me. Girls who can't get dates are brought near tears by being called beautiful; girls who get used a lot by guys are not impressed, they know they are attractive but they also know those men probably only want one thing.<br /><br />I imagine I'm a lot less "liberal" than Anna, but I would also find references to my looks and references to my sex at work to be, well, kinda sexist. At work, I want to be appreciated for my accomplishments.<br /><br />Did Anna never wonder until it was mentioned to her why she had to practice so hard at shooting human targets? Did she consider whether all her coworkers did the same, and whether she would actually be expected to shoot anyone? I know if someone handed me a gun, my first thought would be, "am I ever going to expected to shoot anyone?"Sheilahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10853868724554947854noreply@blogger.com
