Herbert sat at the kitchen table, nursing a cup of coffee. Margot bustled around, packing Brian's lunch.

�?oMargot,�?� Herbert began, carefully choosing his words. �?oI have a proposition for you.�?�

Margot raised an eyebrow, not looking up from the sandwich she was assembling. �?oOh? Let me guess. It involves minimal effort on your part and maximum reward?�?�

Herbert chuckled nervously. �?oWell�?� sort of. Old Man Fitzwilliam at Oakhaven Industries, he thinks there�?Ts a communist plot to�?� replace all the coffee filters with inferior ones!�?�

Margot stopped, finally turning to face him. �?oA communist plot involving�?� coffee filters?�?�

�?oHe�?Ts serious! He wants someone to investigate. And he�?Ts offering overtime. Lots of overtime! Think of the new barbeque we could get!�?�

Margot sighed. �?oHerbert, you�?Tre a safety inspector. Your job is to make sure the machines don't, I don't know, squeeze someone into a pulp, not chase phantom communists poisoning the office coffee.�?�

�?oBut Margot, the money! And Fitzwilliam implied there could be�?� baked goods involved.�?� Herbert�?Ts eyes widened slightly.

Brian walked in, grabbing his lunch. �?oSounds boring. What�?Ts the effectiveness of coffee filter sabotage anyway? Like, how much damage could that *really* do?�?�

Margot glared at Herbert. �?oSee? Even Brian thinks it�?Ts ridiculous. You�?Tre not becoming a coffee filter investigator, Herbert. End of discussion.�?�

Herbert slumped in his chair, defeated. �?oFine. But if the office coffee suddenly tastes like dirt, don�?Tt come crying to me.�?�
