"I know what I saw," Lamar replied stiffly, "and I don't do that sort of thing." He glared at the cop. This certainly wasn't what he was expecting...

Malcolm takes a long, critical look at each of the police officers. And they would why there's a gang problem, with law enforcement like this. . .what if Jeffrey were dead back there, would they still assume that we were smoking weed, probably think that we killed him, Malcolm thinks as the anger builds in him.

"So . . . is it standard police procedure to assume the victims are the criminals, or do you always get calls from weed smoking teens about gang violence and gun play?" Did I just say that out loud . . . Crap! Malcolm thinks.

"I'm sorry, officer, that was uncalled for. This was very tramatic and no small amount of risk from us and I guess I just got upset because I thought you weren't taking it seriously. You officers look very hard working and I can't imagine the risks you take to keep us safe. So to answer your question - no, we not smoking any weed, nor have we smoked any weed - ever."
 

Mike'll cruise down to the Fifth, see if he can spot anything happening while he waits for Carla to call about his press conference.
 

Ben Taub- Carlos' office
Texas Medical Center
11:30am


His office is what he makes it and pretty much a hole in the wall that he shares with a few other residents. A place where they can do all their paperwork, catch some sleep in the ratty cot, and find a little peace in a hectic medical center. Over to one side, Gupta Chandra had put up pictures of her husband and baby all over the walls.

On the other side, Jack Marks had pictures of his most favorite dream car, the porshe that he planned to buy one day after he paid off all his school loans.

None of his office-mates were currently in, probably off doing their rounds. He had the whole place to himself.

He does know that Dr. Harrison, Amy's mentor controlled access to most of the labs at medical center. There are a few universities in the Houston area that might have access to one, but he wasn't sure who to contact.

Officer Renkin and Stokey don't look at all pleased at Malcolm's outburst, but a look from the principal kept them from saying what was on their mind. One harumphed with a slight growl.

"Fine," Stokey bit out, motioning for them to follow him out. "Let's go to the squad car and I'll take you down to the station to meet the detective."

He went out first while Officer Renkin waited for the boys to follow Stokey before coming up the rear. As they walked out through the school, everyone kept trying to see them, pointing and whispering. There were many stares but the two officers seemed completely oblivious to it all as they lead them to the squad car parked out front.

"Get in the back," Stokey growled.

OOC: LAMAR, MALCOLM

Johnson's Neighborhood Garage
Fifthward
12:30pm


Mike drives around for a while, checking out the old haunts. As he spins around a corner, he recognizes a familiar place from long ago. Whenever his father took his car there, he would tag along and Old Man Johnson would always have candy for him while they waited for the car, while Johnson and his father talked over the neighborhood gossip.

Just as he passes by, his phone rings and Mike recognizes it as the number to his agent.

"Hellooooo, Mike!" came the syrupy voice. "What are you doing now?" Not that she sounded that interested in what he was doing anyway. "Your conference has been set for this afternoon in front of Ben Taub...it will be a perfect backdrop. Can you be there at two?"

Ben Taub- Carlos' office
Texas Medical Center
11:30am


Carlos sits down in the threadbare office chair for a minute before remembering to take some of his medication. He pops open some bottled water that he hadn't finished the day before, polishes it off, and decides that he needs a nap to clear his head. The pain in his shoulder was starting to shoot knives of pain down his arm and across his scapula.

Carlos sets his PDA's alarm to go off at 12:30 pm, struggles into the cot, and shuts his eyes.

"I certainly wasn't going to sit in your lap," Lamar replied. He was about as pleased with these cops attituides as Malcolm was.

Malcolm chuckled at Lamar's joke, happy for the break in mood and for the smile on Lamar's face. "Guess we should call old man Johnson to tell him we'll be late for work and why."

Malcolm looked at Lamar, hoping he got the signal that we should let T-Bull know what's happening.

"Good idea, Malcolm," Lamar replied. "Getting fired wouldn't make the day any better, that's for sure." The look in his eyes said he got the real message.
