[QUOTE="taitzu52, post: 2221261, member: 21465"] Andrews picks a seat away from other patrons. He orders a beer, and pulls out a pack of cigarettes and places the lighter next to it. He lights one up and blows over the lamp hanging over the table, sending the smoke billowing out around the light. Without any warm up, he says, [COLOR=DarkOliveGreen]"I could be in really big trouble here, Solomon."[/COLOR] Calling Brown by his first name is usually enough to shock him to attention. He goes on, [COLOR=DarkOliveGreen]"I just want you to know the truth, in case anything happens to me. I know that I don't have to tell you that this stays in this room. Not even the Bureau can handle this *CED*. Well, obviously." [/COLOR] He takes a couple of long drags from his cigarette, looking up at the ceiling for a moment, before his eyes meet with Browns. [COLOR=DarkOliveGreen]"I opened the door to Examination Room #3, and saw someone standing behind a curtain with a light behind it. Figuring that it was Gutierrez, I called out his name. He didn't answer."[/COLOR] says Andrews, his arm propping his head up with his fingers on his temple. [COLOR=DarkOliveGreen]"I called security and asked them to see who it was back there.
