Summary: For Josh, light reverberates in the dark.

Authors Notes: This 150 word drabble, has been sitting on my hard drive for months. Initially it was the start of something... but then my muse vanished. What was left was almost an exact 150 words... so finally, here it is.

"Hey, Josh."

"Hey yourself."

"Did the power go out in your little corner of the West Wing?"

"Nah, I've finished working so I didn't bother to put the light on."

"I see."

"I doubt it - it's dark in here."

"Funny."

"I'm also an hysterically funny person."

"So..."

"Leo wants me to brief the President when he arrives."

"About the Bay?"

"Yes. You don't have to stay."

"That's okay. I'm here. I'm awake. I have run out of meaningful work but you know, I'm still here drawing my government salary."

"Did I tell you before... you did good Donna."

"I did my job, Josh."

"Yeah, but I listened to CJ when they got on the ground - you did a great job with the information."

"Thank you."

"You're welcome. You... you could never be an 'also dead'."

"Josh..."

"I'm just saying, you're too important."

"I don't think..."

"You're valuable. To me - invaluable."
