36 Hours after "Fog"

Mia and Doyle stepped into their black car and shut the doors. The cool wind ceased to rush in as the two sat in silence. They simultaneously sighed at the recent events.

Mia sarcastically said, "Well that was a good use of our time."

"We know he's bullshitting," Doyle replied, "We'll find a crack in his story soon enough."

"Dunno, the FBI has been on this guy for a few years, and we can't even follow up on a lead on a suspected associate."
