He knew the kid had experience, and as far as he was aware, was very good at his job. But he'd also arrived just a week or so before Anderson had gone off on an undercover assignment, meaning he'd not had the chance to get to know him and his skills. This whole thing was more for his benefit, in that regard. He wanted to see how well he could sniff out the bad from the good.
Which was why he had gone into Diagon Alley in his lunch break and bought a few more Sneakoscopes than he'd ever really need. Each of them worked just fine, upon his own testing, but the crucial thing was - two didn't. The two he had taken from the evidence box at the far end of the table.
Ones they had seized from a dodgy seller, and would blow up if mishandled, rather than whistle as they were supposed to. Many people had been injured before they'd caught up with the wizard responsible. But that had been well over a year ago, long before Mr Mordaunt had joined his division. So while he knew what they did, the younger man did not. Not yet anyway. Ethan had been busy flossing his teeth when he finally got the message that his immediate boss wanted to see him. It had been months of waiting for this man, and quite frankly, Ethan's excitement turned into anxiety; what if his boss didn't like him? What if he wasn't what he expected him to be? There were so many what-ifs going on in his head that it nearly made him want to throw up.
Well at least his pearly whites were impeccably clean.
Ethan held a fist in front of him and knocked three times before poking his head around the door. Although the MLE was safe from hexes and all the evil stuff, he'd learned early on to take extra precaution. So far so good! His nose was still on his face, so there's that?
Seeing the man already inside, obviously waiting for him, Ethan straightened up and let himself inside the room eyeing the...sneakoscopes on the table. "Hello, Mr McKenna," Well, finally. "You wanted to see me?" Ethan could swear he just squeaked his greeting, and that earned mental eyeroll from himself.
Merlin help this man!child.
