About that. [ It feels like an abrupt shift, but Alan feels something telling him he needs to say this to Tim- to his friend before he loses the chance. ] If you have the chance to get out, you take it. I'm serious, Tim.
[ I don't even want to THINK about what would happen if he spent as long as I have here, or if he went as deep as I've gone. This place will chew him up, carve him out, pull out EVERYTHING good. I won't let that happen. When I took that dive, I didn't have very much going for me that was good, except for Alice. But Tim- he has a lot going for him that's still good. He needs to keep that. He will keep that.
Alan looks at Tim with a determined expression on his face. It might look strange to the other man, as though it's just appeared out of nowhere, but Alan doesn't care. He makes a mental note to himself to try and find something, anything, that would help the good sheriff escape. It's a tall order, as Alan can't even escape himself, but it's still something that goes on his to-do list. ]
Backup plans are the way to go around here. Backup plans, notes to yourself, more notes to yourself. Believe it or not, there's no such thing as too many notes.
[ He's about to say something about the Taken, but Tim's exclaiming in surprise because of what Alan's just said about Jesse. ]
Well, there's kind of a lot about her that I know. Where should I start? [ But then the subject changes again and Tim's explaining and Alan's listening intently. If Tim's talking, that means it's important. And it's something he most likely forgot, so he needs to pay close attention. ]
Right... the key. I think I remember that. Or something about a key. You helped me find... something. The way to whatever I was looking for at the time. [ The Light Switch Cord. I know that's important. ]
Yeah... I think that rings a bell. Actually, I've heard that name from someone else too. [ Jesse. ]
Wait, you know about the FBC? That's- She works for them. Jesse Faden. Well, not just works, she's... she's the Director. [ Maybe he shouldn't be telling Tim this, because maybe that's considered classified information, but who exactly is Tim going to tell?
Alan's about to say more when he also hears the click of the television turning on. ] I guess you didn't need that man in after all-
[ Alan cuts himself off as the title screen flashes on, followed by a familiar musical beat, and then the appearance of a man that Alan knows. ]
Door?! What the hell?
[ The host continues, setting up his introduction for whoever the guest is, and then Alan's mind goes blank for a moment. nonono- not her. What the hell? This can't be happening. This can't be- Damn it, not her! I told her not to...
Alan stands there stunned even as Tim's hand reaches out and grabs hold of his jacket. ]
How the- How the hell did she get there? That's- the talk show, but-
no subject
