This was really fucked up. Tank himself felt like he was someone who had seen a lot of things, and certainly they'd left him cynically optimistic about how these murder cases often panned out. But he didn't recall if he'd ever seen a man strapped up to so many devices while a younger woman giggled and smiled at him because he was so messed up. Even Greg played along. He didn't show any discomfort on his face, mainly because it was so creepy that it went full circle to amusing. 

He felt a bump on his ribs and Greg's comment. He smirked back and chuckled, before following him towards Wallace. He tilted his head and leaned down, examining the indention. Flashes of his past suddenly screened in his head, and his dying partner's last words echoed in his thoughts. He spoke a moment later. "[color=009966]All too well[/color]." he muttered, then stretched his neck as he lifted back up, rubbing it. 

"[color=009966]So...[/color]" he said aloud, his thoughts already racing past his words. He spoke to himself more than anything. "[color=009966]What I'm wondering is why he wasn't killed.[/color]" He could only imagine the looks on their faces after he blurted that out. Probably best to fill him in on what he was thinking a second before. "[color=009966]From what I can gather, I doubt a pistol whip could do that to him by itself, so whatever chemical is in him, that isn't alcohol, I would gather was put in him afterwards. Hell even if the hit did this to him, still begs the question why someone who didn't want to be seen would keep him alive. That means that either One-[/color]" 

He placed his left pointer finger out and put his right one on it to count. "[color=009966]-whoever did this only hurt him with the pistol and didn't have time to finish him, [i]or[/i] the gunshot would have been heard. Two, if someone injected something in him, they wanted to keep him alive to send us a message, as odd as that sounds. Or three, it was someone who had reservations about killing, and if that's the case this investigation we're doing just got larger, because the supposed perp we might be after about all of these 'suicides' does not have any reservations for such a thing.[/color]" 

He shook shrugged, then let out his final thought. "[color=009966]And for what he's saying, sounds kinda like Prison or Prisoner to me.[/color]"
