60 Second With No.2

   “You seem to have enjoyed your terms in office Number Two.”

    “Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.”

    “What’s so funny?”

    “Nothing, just my sense of humour.”

    “Which is strong an unimpaired?”

    “Now you’re talking about Number Six.”

    “Well let’s talk about you. It didn’t go so well for you.”

    “Didn’t it?”

    “What?”

    “The plan to make Number Six bend, to get him to talk.”

    “Give away the reason behind his resignation.”

    “I did try and tell them.”

    “But you did your best.”                                                            

    “Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, I died!”

    “Did you?”

    “Well apparently I did.”

    “Not quite the same is it, apparently dying.”                                                                

    “It could have been the drink.”                                                                                      

    “It didn’t effect Number 6, did it? He did drink from the same bottle.”                                 

    “One week, one teeny weenie week, and I almost had him.”                                            

    “He’s a good man.”

    “I am a good man, I was a good man…….!”

    “But he was better.”

    “Well of course it had to be.”
    “His reward?”

    “The throne.”

    “And yours?”
    “Apparently this Perspex orbit tube!”
    “And then what?”

   It was at this point that Number 2 fell silent with a far away look in his eye. I turned and walked away, leaving a “late” Number 2 to his thoughts before I got put into one of these Perspex tubes!
