Anyone have any suggestions for a job around here that might- might pay a little more than the average?

[He's clearly choosing his words carefully, trying to hint at a deeper meaning.]

You want to tell me what's going on with your group cloning the foreigners?

I'm sorry about- [...] Look, something came up, alright? I didn't mean to stand you up.

You said you might be able to help with.. [The 'my meds' is implied as he trails off.] My supply is low.

Violation of our laws. Prentiss was guilty of trespass and some cultural infractions that I could no longer overlook.

I want to speak to her. Unsupervised, just a few questions. Can you arrange that?

[A breath -- sharp with a shadow of amusement.]

She's not in isolation. Keep visiting hours to when the shell's dark and we're good.

Change of plans. I'm all set. But thanks. Thank you.

Don't waste words of gratitude, Costigan. Tell me what you were to ask her and we're even.

I wanted to ask her what she'd done and why she was there. Favrielle seemed to think her answers wouldn't match yours -- not that she knows I had yours to begin with, but her assumptions weren't far off. I probably would have made sure she was being treated alright too.

[The distrust around here can be downright frustrating, let him tell you.]

Prentiss was held primarily on charges of trespass and cultural indecency. There's paperwork to prove it.

[lostundercover]

We both know that paperwork doesn't prove anything. [A beat.] Relax, guy. I believe you. If she had a different answer, that's what worries me, because that's what she'll be telling them when she gets out.

[That intimation displeases him if only because Evandau holds himself to rules. Regulations. Paperwork's always done right when it comes off his desk.]

Then she'd be lying if she did and I'd have to wonder about the honesty of the Foreigner lot. Good for everyone she talked truth.

You have something you want to say to me?

[alderwood]

Keep your sights straight. I'm not the liar in this crew and don't like my work being second-guessed.

[lostundercover]

Can you say the same for all your officers?

private; 95% encryption

[alderwood]

I didn't say their work, I said mine. I handled Prentiss's arrest, incarceration, and interrogations.

private; 95% encryption

[lostundercover]

I didn't realize.

[He'll just leave it at that.]
