Question

Listed is a series of emails. What’s going on?

To: mary_juiced@holdthephone.gov

From: john_mac@andthen.net

Subject: Re:Dear John

An email Mary? After 8 years all I get is an email? We need to do lunch, you can bring your lawyer if you want. I’d say lets get some pasta but I’m just not in the mood. Any sign of Charlie yet?

To: john_mac@andthen.net

From: mary_juiced@holdthephone.gov

Subject: Dang it John

No sign. My mother still insists that you had this coming, and I don’t want to hear about it. The crew is still working, savgaging what they can out there and all you can do is think about Charlie. This is all his fault you know. Lunch is out of the question.

To: mary_juiced@holdthephone.gov

From: john_mac@andthen.net

Subject: Charlie’s Fault?

That’s low, even for you. What else was I suppose to do?

well, my first thought...

John is the US Secretary of Defense, Mary is a US military commander. They are discussing drawing US troops (the crew) out of the Middle East and aborting their original mission. Mary's mother, perhaps the citizens of the USA who disagree with the war, are irate at the "wasted effort." While John is still concerned about bringing down the terrorists (Charlie.)

I may be way off in left field on this..I have been spending a lot of time on the War Club thread. :)

Deffinately way off. I think the war club thread got a little heated.

well i had a guess....

maybe Mary wrecked Johns car or house or possession or something. Because John left Mary 8 years ago for Charlie? and shes still mad....

but it seemed kinda like a lame answer.

Note that John got the "Dear John" letter.

Mary's next email

To: john_mac@andthen.net

From: mary_juiced@holdthephone.gov

Subject: What ELSE you could have done

I understand that you like to snack while you look over your case files, hell we were together for 8 years, but it was an extreme lack of attention on your part, and I won’t ever get over it. It’s just like you to, literally, drop everything for Charlie.

John and Mary were married for 8 years.

John was working at his desk and dropped something. Maybe his wedding ring?

Charlie ate it.

John gave Charlie a laxative to get the ring back before Mary noticed.

This led to some "damages" to the house / carpet, etc.

All this was the last draw to Mary, who sent a "Dear John" email to John, breaking it off.

everything there makes sense except maybe the part where she said "you would drop everything for charlie"

that makes it a little confusing...but it sounds like a great answer to me in either case.

John was working at his desk and while dropping food for Charlie, Charlie also got his wedding ring.
