I lived for about 3.5 years in Arlington, VA....working for the Pentagon. I came to conclude about six months into the experience....about every 3rd day....some crazy-crazy BS happens in the region.
One of my favorite stories came from the apartment complex next to mine....on Columbia Pike....in the heart of Arlington.
This gal....late 20s...came to move into the apartment complex. Early on...like the 1st week....she was greeting folks and making them aware that she worked for the CIA.
She'd talk of experiences in Europe and the Middle East.
Some guy (probably also in his late 20s).....took up with her (in the physical way). About six months into this....she had him convinced of a potential job situation (overseas.....some hostile zone), and she could hire him as a 'assistant'
He gave notice, and would be 'hired-up'. It was around Thanksgiving, and the two were to visit his parents (New England region). All this was laid out. The problem is....'dad' just didn't believe any of the BS....called some FBI agent, and in about hour or two....they confirmed she was NOT a fed-employee of any type, and did NOT work for the CIA.
Whole thing made up? Yeah. Arlington police investigated eventually....confirming that the gal was some 'kid' of a well-to-do guy....was bi-polar....'dad' was paying for the apartment.
'Secret-agent' girl....was talked about for a week or two. In my complex....we got to the key question....could there be a thousand fake bi-polar secret-agent gals in America? Consensus? Yeah....probably so.
