[ WP ] You were just hired to work in the White House and on your first day walk through the wrong door

`` Would the Russians fire ba-'' Kennedy stopped mid sentence. In the room I had just walked into was a whole collection of military figures and aids. They were all glumly staring at me, some looked surprised, others annoyed. 
 
 We all stayed still staring at each other for a few seconds. 
 
 `` Oh cr-, I mean, s-sorry I d-disturbed you'' I stuttered out to the gathered room. I closed the door behind me and turned around to find to find the Head of Staff about two inches from my face. 
 
 `` Your fired'' he said quite simply and handed me a secrecy document I signed saying I would n't talk of what little I heard for the next 50 years. 
 
 And that sonny is how my brief job at the whitehouse ended on the 21st October 1963.
