Chapter 23: Nine Requests
On the first of the month, the coordinator put a tablet on my bench and a pen on top of it.
I was filing the lip of a new ramp, and I didn't look up at first.
"Nine," she said.
"That's not who I am anymore."

"You're not going to sell my work to a Field Office again," I said.
"The cover program is gone," the coordinator said. "This contract is for the lab. It says that you answer to the team lead, and the team lead answers to a person who is not hiding anything from you."
"It's a long time."
"It's the length of your ramp's testing schedule. After that, if you want to go, you go."
I read the whole thing, because I would never again sign one without reading.
At the bottom of the screen was a second field, labeled VISITORS.
"What's this?" I asked.
"Your name opens to the public today."
She tapped the screen.
"Anyone with a phone can learn that a Maeve Doran works here. This field is the list of people allowed past the gate."
She hesitated.
"Your brother has asked for entry nine times."
