My Own Revolution (2012)
“Babicak’s secretary summons me to the office. This isn’t fair, I think, following her down the hallway. If only Danika had said yes, I wouldn’t have done such a stupid thing. And why pick on me? I’m not the only one here who hates Lenin.
The white bra — very plain, no lace or frills — is lying on Babicak’s desk. Beside it stands a jar filled with pencils and the sharp blade of a letter opener.
As soon as I’m seated, Mr. Babicak comes to the point. “You are playing into the hands of the imperial...ist Americans,” he says. “Did you know that the Americans are aggressors throughout the world, Patrik? Did you know they are developing nuclear weapons?”
I nod. I won’t point out that Russia is also building missiles and bombs. Not if I want to keep my head, I won’t.
Mr. Babicak lifts the bra and dangles it from the tip of his pencil. “I think you know where this was found,” he says, his beetly brows inching together.
This is a trick question. Everyone knows. It was Bozek, I hear, who climbed up to fetch the bra.MoreLess
