Project Bag


"We are calling it Project Bag," Keith said, his voice loud and almost shaking with excitement. He tried to look serious, but I could tell he was struggling to keep the smile off his face. "I don't need to tell you all," he made a point of looking each of us in the eye before continuing. "That it is TOP secret. I don't even want to hear the name Project Bag outside of this room, let alone hear rumours of what it is."

I scratched my left butt cheek while he continued to drone on. I could be fairly sure that no one would be talking about Project Bag outside of this room. Mostly because all the "exciting projects" Keith came up with were extremely boring and usually required a large amount of work for not much return. I risked a glance across the table at Jenny. She refused to look at me (I think she probably would have burst out laughing if she had) but raised an eyebrow in a I know what you're thinking and I agree with you kind of way.

"Tim," Keith said. I looked back at Keith. “I’d really like to have your input on this.”

All eyes turned to me. I had no idea what Keith had been saying. I had no idea what Project Bag was. I could feel Jenny’s amused look burn my face.

“Well,” I said. “It’s certainly something we should consider…” Keith looked at me, his face giving nothing away. “But I don’t think we should rush into it. After all,” I took a deep breath. “It is going to be quite a lot of work.”

“You weren’t listening, were you Tim?” Keith said.

“Er... “ from across the table I heard Jenny snigger. “Yes, of course I was.”

“Well. As you think it is something we should consider I’d like you to present a full report on it on Monday morning. But…” Keith waved his finger at me. “Remember it is top secret, so you’ll have to work with the information I have just given you.” He looked at the others. “Remember everyone, no discussing this outside this room.” He returned to look at me, a smug smile on his face.

I hate Keith!
