"So," Jeff began, leaning back in his desk chair. "What do you think?" He gave each of his sons, who sat on the other side of the desk, a pointed look. "Virgil?"

"Well, she has experience in teaching others," Virgil replied. "That's a point in her favor. She's also a team player."

"She'd have to be, as a firefighter," Scott commented. He shook his head. "I still don't think she has enough experience, even with the paramedic skills."

"At least now you know her reasons for looking for a new job," Virgil responded, his voice a little acerbic. "I'd say they're pretty legit, wouldn't you?"

Jeff frowned. "What's the problem here, Scott?" he asked. "You weren't exactly friendly at the interview."

Scott looked down. "I know...," he said in a low voice. "I guess I'm leery about bringing her on board."

"Because she doesn't have what it takes, or because she's not your first choice?" Jeff knew his sons well, particularly his eldest.

I hate it when he cuts to the chase like that, Scott thought gloomily. He glanced up again to look his father in the face. "All right. I'll admit it. She's not my choice," he grumbled. "And I know it's my own ego talking." He stood up, throwing out his arms. "I realize she has all the qualifications we need, plus a few more. It's obvious to me that you both favor her and want to hire her." Turning to point a finger at first Virgil, then his father. "I do want to go on record that I think we need someone with more experience."

Virgil and Jeff glanced at each other. "So noted," Jeff said. "I still think she's our top candidate. Her drive, the way she's systematically gone about reaching her goals, her experience in fighting fires outside the city and her willingness to teach are what recommends her to me." He raised an eyebrow as he regarded his eldest. "I hope you can put your ego aside and work with her, Scott."

"Yes, sir," Scott said crisply, suddenly standing at attention. "I can... and I will."

Jeff nodded. "Virgil?"

Virgil nodded. "I'll have no problem with her, Dad."

"Good." Jeff took in a deep breath, and let it out. "One more hurdle: telling her about IR. We'll do that after dinner, then see where we stand." He gave Scott a nod. "It may be that she doesn't take the job, Scott, and we'll be back to square one."
