OOC: Given how your work has gone the last year or two, that could
still make for an exciting challenge, no? ;)

"Huh? Oh, that's me...just a minute." the seated man says looking in
Ricardo's direction. The other man turns and looks at Ricardo as well.
The standing man turns back to the seated on and says, "I'll leave
these copies with you Stan, and I'll run the tests again if you
insist, but I've already run them twice, and twice should be enough
to convince even the Chief."
With that he drops the papers on Stanley's desk and stalks off,
passing Ricardo, with the barest of a nod.
The seated man stands and says, "I'm Detective Stanley. You're here
about the prisoner we're holding, the one calling herself Lysia David?"
