Notes: For the Spyfest Week 2 prompt - "There's one secret everyone takes to the grave." Took me a while to come up with an idea for this, but I think I got something reasonably solid - and just in time, too. I've wanted to do something with Smithers for a while, and I suspect those last few Hell Is Other People updates may have inspired this, to some extent. Hopefully this doesn't seem too forced!

 

I may have to go back and edit this later.
