"[color=39b54a]I'm sorry to disappoint you sir but Jeremy isn't home right now.[/color]" Dirk brandished his badge like a shield, deflecting suspicion and hopefully resistance, off of it.

At first Dr Scott was taken aback in this fashion but his nerves came down after seeing a police badge being shown. 

[color=00a651]"If your Dr. Alonzo Scott then I presume you received a letter from a Mr. Harry Everfield asking you to come to his aid?"[/color]

[color=0072bc]“Yes, that is absolutely correct Officer”. [/color]

Dirk put his badge down as he stepped up on to the porch ahead of the Dr. "Is that correct?" Dirk asked pointedly.

Alonzo was about to speak a bit more but then... 

[color=00a651]"Richard? Is that you? Of course! Harry sent you a letter to! I didn't think you'd come through!"[/color] Relief was evident in Dirk's voice.

[color=00a651] "You might not remember me, names Dirk Garther, I was a green private when you where wrapping up your time in the blues! I heard a lot of good things about you! I gotta say I'm glad to see you, I could really use your help on this case!" [/color]

[color=0072bc]“Case?.... As in closed or open.. And is Jeremy no longer among the living?”[/color] Dr Scoot interjected as the two began to chat it up. 

[color=0072bc]“ Well since he isn’t here, I could leave my hotel and room number till he gets back, I’m sorry to meet you fine gentlemen under these strange times”.[/color] Alonzo reopened his black umbrella, carried by his grey leather driving gloves, and turn to begin to walk away and leave the police to their business. [color=0072bc]“ Gentlemen, does it rain like this all the time? I guess its kinda like Seattle Washington but without the coastal air... Strange times, indeed”[/color]. Tipping his hat proceeds to lave the officers to their duties.
