Where Have You Been

"Where have you been?!"

"I was out with a friend."

"A friend?"

"Yes."

"So what did you do?"

"We went to a movie."

"Which one?"

"Australia. What is going on? Why are you so worried about where I have been."

"Haven't you heard the news?"

"Apparently not. What happened?"

"The Rebel leader in Kazakhstan has been assassinated."

"Really? When did that happen?"

"Just now. They said that the assassin might have been injured."

"Well that would make them easier to find I suppose."

The woman walked into her room wincing just slightly. She shrugged out of her long coat and looked at the white bandage on her arm. Oh, she knew alright. And the world was better off without him.
