What is the most dangerous thing you have ever done?
Let me see... the most dangerous thing I ever did...
I've done some really daft things in my time. I've been shot by a clown; I've had buildings drop on me, and I've faced down the Cleaners when they were determined to terminate a contract they'd been assigned. All of them were dangerous. Some of them were more than just dangerous, one or two of them actually reached the realms of suicidal, but the one that stands out in my mind as the most mind-bogglingly dangerous stunt of all was the evening I went with the Director to a sex club.
I'd better explain about the Director first of all. She's a predator.
She's lean and elegant and totally without scruples. She's warped; she's twisted; she's a bitch, and her favorite game is spying on her operatives.
I'm not kidding, she has everyone's apartments wired up, and you're likely to get a call when you're in the middle of something important, giving you advice on how best to complete the task. This can be disconcerting when you're entertaining a lover, but after a couple of years you get used to it.
...Who am I kidding? You never really do get used to it, however, it's better than the occasions when she decides she'll turn up in person.
But to return to the sex club - I should have known she'd be on the board of the place. She dragged me there primarily to embarrass me, I think, but with her you never quite knew.
It was almost a relief when the Droogs arrived, and the shooting started. It mean that I could make my getaway.
Yes, I ran like the rat I am, and I'm not ashamed to admit it.
