Either before the pain in his shoulder causes him to pass out, or the "cavalry" arrives, Carlos will turn his head around to Shashi, but address no one specifically. He shouts to make his voice heard over the alarm,

"You don't get it do you!? I called them. The CDC, HDHHS, Department of Epi, everyone, and I get the same dead ends. These guys have been everywhere else and pulled the same coverup! If you let them take your work now, they get their way and People. Will. Keep. Dying!!!"

He cranes his neck around and tries to look at the suit on top of him, "Would you get the f#ck off me?!"

"I'm not interested in hiding - I'd rather stay at home. Lamar, who knows how many days this will take and I'm sure coach would be none too pleased to not have you for the games during Christmas break. If no one names names our families will be safe and so will we. If someone does name names, then our families are as bad off as us. I'd wanna be there to help them if I could." Malcolm said.

"So if you wanna say you hauled us in here for something else to cover what we really did here today - some good excuse - that's the story I'd wanna go with."

"Let him go," Amy spoke up heading over there with a somewhat conciliatory look on her face. "He just got shot the other day and the painkillers make he really loopy." She gave the man who held him an understanding expression.

The man glanced at Carlos for a moment and then released him, keeping a close eye on him as the authorities arrived. If Carlos makes a move, the man looks ready to grapple him again, wound or no wound.

"Sure." Barton gave them a greasy grin. 'I'll say I hauled you in here cuz your school made a big stink about suspecting you two where on illegal steroids. That'll be plenty believable indeed. We'll go through all the motions and make it look good, eh?"

OOC: LAMAR, MALCOLM

"No drugs. Especially not steroids," Lamar replied. "There's no reason to damage our future."

Malcolm looks at Lamar with that 'Is he trying to p!ss us off?' look.

Malcolm then says, "Look, I appreciate your interest in trying to destroy the lives of two kids that are trying to do better for themselves - legitimately, and work toward a better live, but don't you think you're already reached your quota. I guess we don't need any of the Detective Barton brand of 'help.' Thanks for the wonderful afternoon of abuse and second hand smoke. I'll be on my way now since you don't need anything more from us, and you claims of help are just that - claims."

Malcolm then turns to Lamar, "Let's ditch this place."

"Right behind you, Malcom," Lamar replied.

"Martial arts training? The CDC teach you that too big guy?

"This whole thing reeks. If you people won't help yourselves, or even protect your hard work from such obvious thieves -fine. I'm outta here." He points at the thug, "Don't even think about it."

Carlos heads for the door.

The 'thug' glances at his boss before focusing his eyes again on Carlos, but he lets the man move onward, following a footstep behind to make sure no funny business happened.

"Dr. Munguia...we're technicians, not conspiracy theorists," Shashi spoke up, looking even more skeptical of the man. "Yeah we don't like that they're taking our stuff, but what can we do about? Get fired? Get put in jail?"

Just then Carlos' cell phone rang.

Barton shrugged uncaringly. "Suit yourselves. I won't say anything then about why you're here. See ya later boys, maybe sooner in the morgue, eh?" he laughed at his own joke then nearly choked as he coughed, but yet he still kept puffing away that cheap cigarette. "Tell that T-F#ck friend of yours I said 'ello' and if he knows Jess isn't wearing anything under her skirt." He snickered again as he watched the boys leave.

OOC: LAMAR, MALCOLM - unless you have a comment, you're both free go to, just tell me where you want to go
