"I'll be there at 8:17," Viggo had said. How typical of him. Most people would have just said 8:15, but not Viggo. He said 8:17, and Bernard knew perfectly well that he meant it. Viggo was a lot of things, but tardy wasn't one of them. If he said he'd arrive at 8:17, he'd arrive at 8:17.

Bernard could set his watch by Viggo. Which was why it was odd when 8:18 rolled around, and Viggo wasn't there. 8:20, Viggo strolled in.

"You're late," Bernard said.

Viggo just smirked. "Check your watch."

Bernard did, discovered it had stopped. Of course.
