Lesser of Two Evils

"Somebody needs to do something," Emily mumbled in her sexy accent.

She was right, and I knew just what to do. Furious, I walked into his office and shut the door behind me. He looked at me in confusion.

"What do you want, techno- nerd?", He asked angrily.

"I'm your worst nightmare asshole," I snapped, "I know what just happened in here with Emily and Heather."

"Oh, you're sure about that, are you?" He sneered.

"Doesn't matter because I know all about your secret fantasies, sissy boy."

He paused for a moment.

"What are you talking about?"

"I know all about your little fetish."

"Bullshit."

"I have remote access to every computer in the building... including yours. I know everybody's dirty secrets."

"You've been spying on..."

"Yes, and I know exactly what's in your 'travel receipts' folder, Nicholas. And if you don't do exactly what I say, I'm going to inform David Ham, your superior, of your activities. And we'll just see what he has to say about it."

He scoffed, "Really?"

"Really," I smiled back.

"Should I call him for you?"

"I'm curious, David, if I were discover that someone in the company was say, snooping through another employee's computer files would that violate any company policies?"

"A few of them, actually, and a number of laws. Why? Do you have a reason to suspect someone?"

A chill went down my spine.

"Not really sure yet. I don't want to get someone in trouble without knowing for sure, I just wanted to see how serious an offense it was."

"We'd definitely terminate them, and likely press charges."
