The museum was full of people. One could hardly see the paintings. But Vincent had seen the paintings every day for the past fifteen years. It was the people that he liked to watch. He thought that Monet and 5 Picasso were good and nice, but what he found beautiful was the curiosity of a child rummaging through the museum halls—it always brought a smile to his face. He made his way through the people. He was on 10 his last rounds of the day. He had to make sure that no one touched any of the paintings. If he were to spot any suspicious behavior he would have to tell Carl, the Security Supervisor. Carl was almost twenty years younger than he. 15 “Winston, are you on your rounds? Or are you standing around dreaming again?” Vincent heard from the radio. “No sir, doing my rounds, sir,” he called back into the radio. Carl didn’t answer back. Carl didn’t like 20 Vincent. Vincent felt he did a good job, but Carl was always on his case for one thing or another. Vincent saw a young couple, and he stopped to look at them. “Excuse me sir, where is the bathroom?” Vincent 25 looked down and saw a young boy standing on the tips of his feet. Vincent smiled at him. “Right this way, young sir. How are you enjoying your trip to the museum today?” Vincent started walking and the boy, who must’ve been around eight, 30 followed. “What?” The noise of the crowd made it difficult to have a conversation in the museum. “I said, how are you enjoying your trip to the museum?” Vincent said louder. 35 “It’s OK. I come every week with my parents... they changed where the bathrooms are,” the little boy said. Vincent smiled. The bathrooms were not on his route and although Carl was still mad at him for some reason, he decided he would show the boy. It would 40 take him five minutes to walk to the bathrooms and another five to get back to his route. “How’s everything else then, Tim? ...how’s school? Everything going good? Yes?” Vincent smiled shyly as he looked down at the boy through his big 45 heavy glasses. “It’s OK.” Tim looked at Vincent in a confused manner. “And Mom and Dad? How are they? They’re good I hope,” Vincent said worriedly. He scratched his head 50 through his short white hair. Vincent was embarrassed that he couldn’t think of anything that he felt would interest Tim. “Good, I guess. Busy with work. How did you know my name?” Vincent and Tim entered a quiet part 55 of the museum. It was a walkway reserved for security staff. Carl had told him previously not to let visitors through there, but Vincent had forgotten all about that. “Well, they want the best for you... and Lisa, you know.” Vincent said more quietly now that they were 60 no longer bothered by the sounds of the crowd. “How did you know my name?” “Wha—what’s that?” “My name, how’d you know it?” “Oh, well, when you get to be working at a 65 museum for as long as I have, you pick up a few things here and there. I see you here every week. I just kind of picked up your name.” Vincent smiled, but Tim still looked confused. Vincent nervously shifted his eyes and said, “Well you know, they train us to do that, so 70 that we can be friendlier to visitors of the museum, and all that.” “Makes sense,” Tim said with a content confidence. Vincent opened another door and they now faced the bathrooms. 75 “Well, there you go, Tim. I’ll see you next week, OK? If... if you ever need anything, you can tell me, by the way... It was good talking to you, I really enjoyed it.” “OK.” 80 “...my name is Vincent by the way!” “OK, bye Vincent.” “Wait, Tim! Will you find your way back alright?” “Yeah, I think so.” “OK then... if you don’t, you can ask for me 85 through any of the security staff.” “OK, thanks.” Vincent smiled as his eyes filled with water. All he had in life was his family at the museum.
