the interrogator watched balefully as henry drank the glass of water he had requested.
that was very impressive.
that you drank that without spilling a drop.
yes, i am a good water drinker.
would you say it is one of your strengths?
yes, i guess so.
what are some of your other strengths?
um - i would have to think about that.
i will take that s an admission that you do not have any. let us move on,
whatever you say, henry replied humbly.
as i said, we get dozens of people like you every day and we can not waste precious time on you.
now, listen carefully, i am going to give you two choices,
choice a - we will return you to wherever you came from. if we do this, you or someone socially connected to you will have to reimburse the agency for the expense of returning you. do you understand?
i guess.
yes or no, do you understand?
i understand,
good, choice b - you will be sent to the processing center.
what’s in the processing center?
you will find out when you get there. which is it - a or b?
how much time do i get to choose?
none. which is it?
b.
thank you, good choice.

the corridor behind the open door was empty.
what are you waiting for? the interrogator asked henry.
henry got up.
he walked through the door.
the door closed behind him,
