Chapter 4 - One man's garbage is another man's gold

I decide that I should go back to my office, I haven't been there in a little over a week and I thik I left a tuna sandwich in my desk. As soon as I arrive I spot Reggie having a happy animated chat with Brent McAllister and a few of his assistants. I walk over to them pretending to ignore Brent and his a-holes "Reg, man, sorry about the other day, you won't believe what happened to me that day, you'll thank me for not getting you involved"
He is starring at me like he doesn't know what I am talking about, and Brent is sort of covering his mouth like he is holding back a laugh. "What's with the beard shortShaft" Brent says, they all laugh a little and Brent turns to high five an asian woman with a clipboard, or maybe it is a man.
"For your information, I'm going undercover, and that's all you need to know, McAllister"
"Well excuse me, Hey Larry, remember when Walter Jacobson did that report about the homeless, and he made it seem like he was living in the streets, that was great for a laugh" He turns to high five the asian man/woman again but he/she leaves him hanging, again.
Im getting frustrated, and I am pissed off, I totally forgot about that Jacobsen piece! I feel my face redded "Reggie, when your done here I gotta talk to you, Ill be in my office"
"yeah, OK man"
"Later, Walter" larry says as I walk away. I flash the middle finger over my shoulder, and his little entourage notices and the group lets out a long and enthusiastic 'ooohh'.
