Codename

by F. Paul Wilson

  Joe: So… you've got it all planned out that when you retire, Ann and I get to keep writing Repairman Jack novels, right?

  Paul: Absolutely. Did I mention that I have an alien in my head who keeps me healthy for, like ever?

  Joe: Did you hear that, Ann? Sounds like Paul's retirement is sooner than we expected!

  Ann: What? Sorry, wasn't paying attention. I've already started writing the next Repairman Jack book.

  Joe: Add some sex to it.

  Paul: I think that's my cue to leave. They're ringing the dinner bell here at the home…

  Joe: It was a pleasure, guys. Let's do this again sometime. :)
