"The crab cakes as an appetizer. For your main course, you really can't go wrong with any of their fresh catch fish. I've heard the fried shrimp is good but I've never had it."

"Maybe I'll do the salmon."

"Excellent choice."

"What are you getting?"

"The salmon was my pick, too."

"Oh, good." She closed the menu. "That was easy."

"So do you want to hear about Deep Dive Into Heroism?"

"Of course."

"Each episode is an hour. I know that sounds long for a web series, but we may try to shop it to the larger streaming services after we've got a few episodes under our belt. It's mostly going to be interviews with, well, heroes. Like you and your friend. I wish she was here."

"Yeah," said Gertie. "She's not really into any of this. She's way more of a quote unquote hero than I am. I was the driving force, but she's the one who saved the kid. Of course, she's also the one who saw the father...well, you know the story. If I'd seen that, I might not be here with you, either."

"I understand. Anyway, the interview will be a straightforward setup. You in a chair against a green screen. One camera that you look into and one camera on the side. We'll make sure to get whatever you think is your best side." Ken chuckled. "We'll intercut it with other shots, but there aren't going to be any cheesy re-enactments or any of that nonsense. We'll get footage of the alley where it happened, and shots of the streets where you were walking around at night—that kind of stuff."

"You said it wouldn't be sensationalized, right? No shots of blood on the ground in the alley?"

"Oh, no, nothing like that. That's a whole different kind of documentary. Really, this is about you. Your motives. What you were thinking. How you worked up the courage to do what you did. And how it's affected you in the immediate aftermath."

"It sounds good."

"I want to save most of my questions for the show so that it's all fresh and unrehearsed, but I do want to get some basic insight first. Do you—"

The server arrived with Gertie's drink and then took their orders.

"I forget what I was going to ask," said Ken.

"Something that started with 'Do you.'"

"It'll come to me. In the meantime, what questions do you have for me?"

"When would we do this?"

"Whenever you can come back to my studio. Now, the interview will take quite a bit longer than what we use on the show. It'll be at least a couple of hours, maybe three or four, and we'll cut it down."

"So you'll get rid of the parts where I babble and stumble over my words and start picking my nose because I forget that I'm on camera?"
