[ WP ] Company X hires you to spy on company Y from inside . Your job on company Y is to spy on company X .

Y spent five years planning. 
 
 I was trained, briefed, and almost brainwashed. Months of my life have been poured into this interview. 
 
 I keep telling myself `` it's just an entry level position, there is no possible way they could suspect I know anything about Y.'' Now just look this lady in the eye, and be an unemployed person in a rented suit, stuttering through a job interview. 
 
 I had n't even opened my mouth before the door to the office was slammed shut behind me. 
 
 `` We know who you are, why you are here, and that they can hear this'' Her tone on the first Know seeping with the desire to shame someone for something but not know whom or what to focus on. 
 
 I reached up my shirt to remove the now pointless recording device taped embarrassingly to too many chest hairs. `` Then we can just talk now ca n't we?'' I asked as calmly as I could while still trying to guess as to how long I could play this with me on the less dead side of things. 
 
 A hand I had no prior knowledge of helped me with my tape/chest hair problem with the care and regard I assume it normally placed with starting flooded lawnmowers on those dark Antarctic molasses parties. I had always pictured intimidation looking more cool and hurting a lot less. 
 
 `` we talk, you do. This interview went swimmingly and you got the job with no suspicion.'' The factual way I was being addressed helped me along to the realization that while Y had put 5 years into this, X had n't just had their heads in the sand. `` from now on all information we require that you come across will be relayed at your own risk. Remember that no legal protection exist for those that participate in espionage, a federal offence. We will be watching.'' 
 
 How will I live the next year?
