"Sounds good, Sherriff." says Andrews, "We'll want to stay out here through the night, of course. If you could maybe find a sofa for Agent Brown, his lead allergies are acting up. As for me, I'll try to get some shut eye in the car."
Solomon grimaces a little at the thought of his shoulder.
This is going to hurt like a sonofab**** in the morning. "Yeah, some sleep probably wouldn't be a bad idea at this point - another big day tomorrow, I'm sure. You sure you want the car, though, Andrews? Neither of is going to get
too much sleep tonight, I'm sure. We can trade off on the sofa if you want."
Andrews listens to Brown's theories, "Yeah, I hear you. Somebody with tech like this may be into mind altering chemistry as well. I just can't explain the random perps otherwise.", he says. "We need to get in touch with that porfessor ASAP. That email is still really bothering me. In the morning, I'll call the U. and play hardball with admin. We can send a badge out there if need be to get a phone number for his vacation spot."
"I was thinking something similar, but to tell you the truth, more along the lines of 'mind altering
technology'. Come to think of it, our emailer knows a lot abut what's going on, and is
highly competant according to our tech guys - someone might be missing their sphere, don't you think?
"Anyway, I got another one for you, Andrews -- Just stop me when you think it's the Vicodin talking, if I'm not already there.... All these bodies have hundreds of little needlemarks in their chests, and have been completely drained of blood through those wounds, right? How's a human going to do that without some sort of machine to help him? There was only one machine found out at the cave near those bodies. Either the murder weapon is small enough to fit out through those cracks in the cave, or it's sitting in side the San Carlos station as we speak...
"I know this is pure and complete speculation, and I'm not saying any of it will pan out - I just know that there has been some bad CEDing CED going down for the past half year, and I got a real bad feeling about that ball we found."
