Thoughts on partners with secrets? I mean, everbody's got secrets, but there are secrets and then there are secrets... I'm all for privacy, but if things start getting work-related and shit, the partner's got a right to know, right?

I gotta be honest with ya, buddy- I've known Egon since college and I'm living and working with him now, but there are just some things about the man that I do not want to know. And that includes the work related stuff.

Well, okay you got a point with that, but- want to know vs. need to know...? If your man Egon's pet hamster from 2nd grade came back all pissed cause he never fed it and a simple 'I'm sorry' would suffice, that in my opinion, kinda demands sharing.

*frowns* Not that I can imagine Kay ever having a pet anything, but's it's a damn metaphor.

Nah, I get what you're saying, although with Egon if the hamster came back it'd probably be a totally different kind of work-related issue. Zombies aren't our usual line of work, but we can adapt.

Sorry. I get what you're saying. It's just that in our line of work, any old secrets that might come back to haunt us usually resolve themselves pretty quickly. Usually at the secret-keeper's expense, which can be extremely entertaining to watch.

We're on the same wavelength- cause anything I can hold over my man, no matter how much grief I'll catch, definitely worth it. What raises my concern is that the grief in question might be inclined to shoot back... so it's a bit of a quandry. Guess it'll probably work itself out like most things, although... *makes a mental note to check out a personal shield generator from the armory*

Are said secrets going to get you killed?

To be honest, I can't say for certain just yet, shit has a way of seeming innoculous up until the moment some space-manatee is trying to gnaw my face off.

....Space Manatee.

*Considers* Partners with secrets always have the potential to get you killed. If honesty's an option? Just bring up your feelings. If not then....you can always run a background check on them right?

I mean...you know...you look like goverment-FBI-CIA-something like that.

*nods earnestly* Right, right, FBI, division six... He ain't too big on feelings... Kay's kinda the old school emotion is weakness kinda cop, which probably don't make him too hip with the ladies, but he's got some other moisturizing issues- *motion abstractly to the face-area* in that department.

Background check is kinda irrelevant at this point, been working with the guy a while, so it's nothing new. But I gotta vent some frustration somewhere. The thing with Kay though is with a look he can make the most reasonable request seem like you're asking for water on the sun, but then he expects me to be all forthcoming and shit...

Unless it's life threatening for someone, or an emotional thing that's gonna get you all screwed, no, not really.

If it's personal, its up to him to tell you.

If it's work related, it's up to your superiors to pass it on if it's important for your knowledge base as an employee.

*huffs* Superiors... yeah. I'd have better luck getting a date with Carmen Electra.

I would say that unless there's some clear and present danger that this person's nondisclosure would place you both in, let it go. Sometimes secrets are meant to be kept.

I got a sneaking suspicion that Kay likes to put me in some clear and present danger, thought lately he's seems a little more grumpy than sadistic, so it's a tough call.

Grumpy is probably a positive thing, then.

I expect that whatever it is he's keeping from you will come to the surface eventually, although I do sympathize with the frustration.

Brendan makes a face that says do you even need to ask? "If it's work-related, hell yeah."

After all, he almost got blown up once because his partner was keeping secrets.

You know what I'm talkin' about, man. And I damn well guarentee it'll become work related before it's all over, if it ain't already, s'why I got a little beef that he's shut up on me, cause usually any break from the Jack Webb shit is welcome.

It takes a second for Brendan to make sense of all this. "So, what d'you think he's hiding from you?"

Well, *looks around, to make sure Kay's not going to sneak up, decides it's safe* -there's a POI- person of interest- that's been hitting some of the news feeds from uh, *makes a face* Interpol? Right, and now typically, Kay don't even bother with the non-local feeds, but he's been giving it a little attention, and with Kay a little attention is a LOT of attention.
