"Sorry about that," Frank said. "I can see how I might appear to have personality swings from time to time. In this case, it was because of Ivana. Starting from when she took back the files, I was so worried that I was going to be fired. So to calm myself down, I got totally smashed on Smirnoff, and you were seeing the tail end of that."

I froze. Tell me he didn't just say that.

"Frank," I began slowly, "are you saying you're intoxicated, or at least you were in the last few hours?"

"Well yeah," he answered matter-of-factly. "Is that a problem?"

"God dammit!" I shouted. Milli turned sharply to look at me, as her jaw dropped.

"There's nothing in the employee handbook that says anything about..."

I cut him off. "Frank, listen to me very carefully. Stay right where you are. I'm coming to you. Don't talk to anyone until I get there. Not on IM, not on the phone, not in person. Don't say a word!"

"But why?" Frank asked, perplexed.

"It's just like we say to our clients," I said. "You're waiting for your lawyer."
