Me: We then carefully stashed the steel box where nobody would even think of looking for it, and waited for the right moment to sneak it out so that our scientist could replicate it.
John: However, the antidote was stolen before we could let anyone examine its contents.
Boss: So, you expect me to accept the fact that your carelessness compromised the entire mission?
John: It wasn’t our carelessness. Somebody knew where we stashed it. Somebody gave the Germans our intel. We were to report the location of the hidden antidote to you, in case we were discovered, yes?
Boss: Yes, I do know the location. It was under one of the tiles in the bathroom!
John: When we told you the location of the antidote, we put a vial with a fake antidote under the tile in the bathroom. Sure enough, the next day, it was gone. Who knew the location besides you, hmm? The real mission was to determine whether you were a spy or not. With the discovery of the secret virus, we thought it would be the perfect bait.
Me: The real antidote is safe and sound in the hands of our scientists. You think we’d let you steal the real one? Obtaining the antidote and exposing a traitor. Killing two birds with one stone!
John: We have already reported this to our other superiors. They are on their way to imprison you. Have fun rotting in prison, you filthy traitor!.
