It was a good enough day for a walk on the South Bank, Martha thought, but not your usual job interview procedure.
“This isn’t a job interview,” the American, Dr Holloway, sighed. “This is just to make sure the paperwork’s filled in. Martha – we know what happened to your family. It’s kinda our fault. We just wanted to make good.”
Martha stopped dead. “How’d you know -?”
“I’m chief medical adviser to the Unified Intelligence Taskforce,” said Dr Holloway, seriously. “And I’m not hiring an assistant, I’m training an apprentice.”
“What, like Obi-Wan and Luke Skywalker?” Martha giggled, and to her surprise Dr Holloway was laughing too.
“Exactly! Man, you have no idea how long it’s been since someone cracked a Star Wars joke to me. Nine years, nearly. Miz Jones -” she lapsed into a bad Bogart imitation - “this could be the beginning of a beautiful friendship!”
