Looking at his watch, Gumshoe figured he was going to get off soon. No one would miss him if he ducked out of the office an hour early, so he pulled on his coat, pocketing the remote, and decided to head on out to go show it to Maggey over at her place.

A car ride later, he was over at Maggey's place, with her reading over the remote's instructions. "Are you sure they weren't all gathered at your desk to see you try it?" Maggey asked. "Cause it seems like a mean prank. People at the station like to pick on you sometimes."
Gumshoe shook his head, "no, the mail guy had no clue where it came from, but he said it got past security so I doubt it'll like, zap me or anything. And if it is a joke, then they won't get the satisfaction of seeing my try it, right pal?"
Maggey simply handed the device back to Gumshoe and crossed her arms, "well, if you're deadset on testing it, you ought to be the one to press the button. Knowing my luck it'll come to life and bite me or something."
Gumshoe looked to her and shrugged his shoulders, "which of the buttons do you want to test out? Since you're letting me use it, you ought to make the choice, right?"
She shook her head in response. "I'm not taking responsibility for that! But I'll trust you with it" She gave a laugh and a wink, "it's funny how much deliberation you're putting into it. I think you should just try whichever one you want, its your toy. Just, if it works, let me have a try at it too, alright? I'd love to be someone with better fortune."
Gumshoe nodded, "glad you trust me! Alright, for the first test we'll use..."
