Alice, the secretary, simply looked at Alex Krukov while he spoke. She blinked in disbelief before replying.
"I don't want to hear your life story."
Alice pressed a button on the intercom and spoke into her headset which Alex could not hear.
"General Garcia is waiting for you in that room." she said, pointing to an office behind her. Alex headed towards the office before Alice stopped him "Oh, don't tell him your life story. Speak when spoken to and maybe you'll survive." she said before letting him go.
