Got some practice in the Savoy bunker. Dodgy generator left us all in pitch dark. We snogged to the serenade of air sirens.
[Norton smiles at the memory. The smile turns mischievous when Norman again brings up his previous employment.]
If you keep asking me about my service, I might start to think you're trying to honeypot me.
[He rests his hand over Norman's, encourages it to slide up a few inches higher. But then his expression and voice turn serious.]
But there's no one else around and we're being honest with each other. I know you're not just a simple GP and you know I'm not a willing ex-pat. Before I was brought here by whatever force brought me here, the agency I worked for investigated strange phenomenon and mysterious technologies and implemented coverups when needed. If you tell me what's going on, I might be able to help. If you don't want my help [he rushes to add] I'll go right back to pretending everything's perfectly normal in Sweetwater. I wouldn't dream of interfering with an allied nation's work unwanted. Professional courtesy, not to mention the diplomatic implications. I can tell you stories of tracking fugitive Nazis or Soviet operatives instead.
