You know, you gotta wonder. What is it with her and "23"s?

Not that I have anything against 23, mind you. And not to say he was anything like the last 23. In fact, if we were going to bring the last 23 into this I have to say he is a vast improvement as far as 23s go, but it really does make you think

Please, don't mention 23 the first.

[by_thatmuch]

Don't worry, I was merely mentioning him as a point of reference. The mention was fleeting if not barely there at all.

Agent 99. You look well.

[failuretotrust]

Good to know.

You, too, Max. You had me worried for awhile there.

[by_thatmuch]

Yes, well -- it would take more than a little tiny explosion to put me down.

[failuretotrust]

I would hope so.

We should get some coffee sometime soon. Catch up. And just so you know, there's nothing wrong with the number 86.

[by_thatmuch]

I would like that very much. I seem to have missed quite a bit. That is -- very good to know.

[failuretotrust]

It's...it's been a difficult few years.

Why do I sense the "coffee" in the earlier question is slowly changing into something a little stronger?

[failuretotrust]

Oh Max...no, I think coffee would be better. I'd hate to get drunk and fall for your charms all over again. 23 might not take it too well.

[by_thatmuch]

Now, 99, while I know that I am indeed very charming, from what I've heard, it sounds like 23 has quite a few good things going for him.

[failuretotrust]

Yes. He does. I really think you two would get along well, too.

[by_thatmuch]

I will keep that in mind. I do look forward to meeting him.

[failuretotrust]

I really am glad you're back, Max.

[by_thatmuch]

I am glad to be back, 99.
