[ Somehow, Steve's presence makes Alan feel like he's being scrutinized. Examined and assessed.
He's not sure if he likes that feeling.
But whether he does or not, it doesn't seem to matter. The FBC wants answers, and they seem determined to get them from him. It's just a matter of time and whether or not he can cooperate.
What will they do if I don't work with them? I know I wanted to find them because they might be the only people who can help, but... I don't think I have a choice. I don't think I can do this alone anymore.
For another second or two, Alan's gaze remains staring down at the surface of the table, but slowly, his head raises until he's looking at Steve. Part of him wants to recoil, and another part wants to hide, but he can't do that, can he? ]
S- sorry they stuck you in here like this. Watching a nutcase probably isn't at the top of your priorities.
