I'm pretty sure this place isn't anything but bleak. Sun? Apparently, never heard of it. [ He's trying to make the situation lighter. Somehow. Alan seems to be a gloomy guy on his own, and this place definitely doesn't help with that. So... why not make the guy laugh? If he can. Tim's never been much of a joker at a party. ] If anyone gave me any short end of any stick? It was probably Door. So, don't blame yourself too much.

[ Not that he wants to sound like the kind of guy that's going to constantly blame someone else for his misfortune. But, Door is sort of the reason he's here and not back at Bright Falls helping Agent Anderson and Agent Casey. ]

Everyone's a critic.

[ He glances over his shoulder at some of the shadows shifting. Then, he looks back at Alan. This time he lowers his voice a bit. ]

Well, there were the rumors going around that the latest victim had a history with you. The name Robert Nightingale mean anything? [ He wonders what happened with that. Hopefully Anderson was able to take care of it on her end. ] Oh, we found them all over the place. Closed off campgrounds, in town, forest near by. I mean, it wasn't often, but let's say the Sheriff Department wasn't surprised to see them when we did find them.

[ Tim nods again. ] And, Return's the one that is screwing with everything back home? In Bright Falls, I mean. It's probably never been home to you.
