I just wanted Jared Vennett and Stephen Meyers to meet. Venue: a congressional hearing. 한국인들은 포스타입으로 오세요 https://www.postype.com/@astrophag33/post/22476245 "Stephen Meyers. The White House." The voice arrived first; the man followed. Young — boyish, even — in an immaculately pressed suit, with eyes about ten years older than the tailoring. Jared knew those eyes. Guys who'd been blown up once, badly, on a trading floor walked around with eyes like that. "Impressive testimony, by the way. 'I didn't start the fire — I just bet that there'd be one.'" "Because it's true." Jared shrugged, raising the paper cup to his mouth. "I didn't perjure myself once. You'd be surprised how rare that is in this building. So — here to draft the President's outraged sound bite for the afternoon session?" "I'm here to coordinate the order of questioning. Senator Jennifer Morgan would like to keep you on the stand an extra thirty minutes." "A time slot that makes the evening news without getting cut." Jared laughed — a laugh that was exactly half sneer and half admiration. "I play the villain on camera, and the administration's approval rating ticks up two points. Tell me — is my math wrong?"
