Naive
Publisher Description
“T-h-i-s... is Cindy Furgus, Eileen,” Snell beamed like a smiling hyena, filling the silence with his squeaky, dog-like voice and drawing both Ms Slacktight’s attention and mine to the salivating drool leaking around the corners of his mouth.
E-W-E-L-L..!-L-L...L-L! Breathe-in... breathe-out! The thought hadn’t had a chance to make it from my stomach to my lips before Ms Slacktight cut off my detailed description of Snell’s unabashed crawling with a strange statement of her own.
“Do you like travelling, Cindy?”
D..do I like travelling?! It's no secret my ambition is to be one of the finest foreign correspondents this paper has ever had in its arsenal. Ms Slacktight offered me an assignment to cover and expose a fanatical religious figure in the poorest areas of Bogotá, Colombia. You heard her say to Snell that I was perfect for the assignment! Apparently... No, I’m not insane, and no, I haven’t had time to research Bogotá or Columbia. What’s wrong with Bogotá?! Come to think of it, one of the female foreign correspondents was stationed in Bogotá. I remember the newspaper staff used to ogle her reports with awe when they came across the editor’s desk, but I haven’t seen one of her articles for quite some time. No. I don’t see the connection and I told you I can’t get out of it! Please stop! Your cryptic games are really scaring me and after confiding in you, I’m beginning to think I really must be nuts for listening, let alone taking this assignment. What should I do? Will you come with me? Please come with me!
