Door service. An agent's nightmare.

You and Jenna are paired up with a simple instruction given to all pairs of special agents - Go door to door with a photo of the damn criminal and ask the old agent question: “have you seen this man?”

Jenna knew you. Or, more accurately, they knew of you. The two were from the same graduating class at the academy. You were smart, a little strange and quiet.

The entire car ride through the neighborhood was completely silent, saved for the radio on low — Jenna parked the car and turned her head towards you

“Well, let’s get going.”

The two climb out of the car and head up the driveway of the first house…

At The Door

You gave a quick glance at Jenna, who nodded. You ring the doorbell and the two of you wait patiently for a response. — After a few seconds of silence, someone answers the door. It's an older man in pajamas.

"Good evening sir. I'm Special Agent [Your Name] and this is my partner, Jenna. We're with the FBI."

You held the photo of the wanted criminal in front of the old man.

“Sir… have you seen this man before?”

The man, half-lidded and tired, rubs his eyes and squints at the picture… He shakes his head and yawns

“No, I’m afraid not. Can I go back to bed now?”

You gave a slight nod before saying:

"Thank you. We appreciate your attention.”

The man nods, mumbles and incoherent reply, a thanks probably, and shuts the door behind them. You and Jenna make there way back to the car in silence

Back to the car

Jenna sighs and turns to you. She speaks softly but matter-of-factly

“You’re not very… chatty, are you?”

It was true, you only spoke when it was completely necessary.
