Garret's eyes studied Nate for several long moments as he talked, trying to figure him out. It wasn't as easy as hoped, though. There was something odd about the people around here. Something he couldn't put his finger on.
He glanced down at his shackles and smirked a little. Yeah, he couldn't run far, that was for sure. But maybe he should take advantage of the permission he was granted anyway. Nate's bit of humor made him look up once more, as the same strange feeling returned. What was funny about the possibility of being shot for negligence?
Without responding, Garret moved slowly away from the building, forced to take his time with small steps. But anything was better than that holding cell. He didn't wander too far - just far enough to be out of reach of the building's shadow. Again, he assumed the same pose, closing his eyes and just soaking up the sun. If he tried hard enough, he could almost imagine he wasn't in handcuffs. There were no walls with guards here. No secrecy of location. No threat to those working here. He had to become a part of this. He'd never survive prison.
Suddenly hearing voices, he turned his gaze to the parking lot where Pete and Gunner were heading out. On the way to their vehicles though, they were goofing off, laughing and shoving each other around. Garret couldn't hear what they were saying, but it was obvious they were having fun. Once they were gone, Garret made his way back over to Nate, his head cocked in question. He was too curious not to ask. When in foreign territory, one had to learn the customs.
"What is it with you people here?" He shook his head. "You're all so...relaxed." He'd honestly expected a more tightly run operation. "I mean, Reese is rather intense, but everybody else...not so much. Don't you take your jobs seriously?"
Aaron quirked an eyebrow at Victoria before he shook his head and stood to put his gun away. "Why should I waste my breath offering up any ideas? I could have the greatest scheme in the world, and you'd ignore it, just for spite."
He sat again to take off his boots and propped himself up in his own bed against the pillows, with one leg hanging off the side. Though his eyes were on the television for several silent minutes, his mind was still hard at work.
"We don't even know for sure if Garret is here," he finally spoke. "And I wouldn't just waltz in - that would cause too much suspicion. So if I were you, and I wasn't gonna ignore every word that came out of my mouth, I'd stake out the headquarters for a day and use that equipment of ours to listen in on what's happening inside. If I found out for sure that he's here, I'd go the route of causing a disturbance." He shrugged. "If they're holding him, and you get in trouble, chances are they'll put you in close proximity to him. Not to mention, there's no point in telling them who you are if you don't have to. Just my two cents though."
Eli forced himself to stay seated as the doctor approached, lest there be news as bad as he feared. Hearing about Ryan's injuries, he was relieved and still worried at the same time. But listening to how the accident had happened was what made his heart stop. Amanda's question didn't even register at first, and he shook his head. "No. I mean, yeah, or..." He leaned forward and rubbed his hands over his face. Could Ryan really have done this on purpose? This was his baby sister they were talking about. He knew she'd been down, and obviously denying reality, but suicidal? That thought alone sent such a pain to his heart, he had to suck in his breath just to stay in control.
Realizing he'd left the doctor hanging, he lifted his face and shook his head again. "I don't know. She was upset earlier and seemed confused." His mind reeled as he tried to think of any signs he might have missed. "A friend died recently and she was depressed but..." He eyed Amanda with a gaze filled with emotions. "I never would have thought she'd..." He couldn't even say it. "Can I see her?"

Why she would have...
Looking up as Eli came to the front desk the nurse gave him a small smile. She'd been there when Ryan got there, and she had been the one that called Eli as well.
"Mr. McKade take a seat and the doctor will be right out to talk with you about your sister. I will let him know you are here."
Turning the nurse disappears behind the doors only to reappear a few moments later with the Dr close behind. Noding to where Eli the dr made her way over her hands in her pockets as she walked. Her long blond hair was neatly pulled back into a bun and a smile smile was on her lips.
"Hi Eli, I am Dr. Amanda Fuller. Your sister is going to be ok. She has a broken wrist, some broken ribs and a bunch of cuts and bruises. It's honestly an act of God she wasn't hurt worse from what I am told of her car."
Amanda lets out a small sigh before sitting down next to Eli. She'd been on her way home from work when the car in front of her ran the read light at a high speed only to swerve and meet head on with a tree. She'd seen it all and even rode with Ryan in the ambulance fearing she was hurt even more than she was.
"Your sister ran a red light, and went head on into a tree. There was no swerving or signs that she had realized what she'd done and paniced. It was like that tree was her destination all along. Do you know why she would of done that? Do you think she meant too? I dont mean to assume, just due to the events, I figure it would be better if I tasked you before the police did."
Leaning against the wall but keeping on hand on his fun Nate let the sun shine on his own face. It felt good to be outside. If he could work at a desk outside he would on nice days like this were it wasn't hot, but it wasn't cold either.
Hearing Garret talk Nate pushed off the wall and turned to him before leaning his shoulder against the wall so he could see Garret better. Nate didn't feel bad for him, yet in a way he did. Though this was meant to be one of the closest people in the Agency there was something different about him. Maybe the lack of look in his eye, or the underlining truth that was unknown.
"Nah, he wouldn't do that, but I'm not custom to going against the rules. You are more than welcome to walk as much as you like around this small parking lot back here. I've got all the time in the world. Just don't run off. You wont get far, though I know you could take me down, and there is only a quay behind here so I'd hate to have you fall to your death. Than Reese my shoot me."
Nate gives a small grin with a little humor behind his eyes. He trusted Garret about as far as he could throw him, but that didn't mean he had to be cold to him as long as he stayed on his guard. After all the guy did give himself up, and so far there didn't seem to be any hidden motives.
Flopping down on one of the beds Victoria looks up her hands behind her head. It had been a long flight, it had been a long ride, and she didn't see it getting any easier. So many thoughts ran around in her about about what might happen and how things might go down.
Hearing Aaron's question Victoria turns her head and looks at him for a long moment. He was being a smart butt and she new it. It irritated her beyond anything, but she was here and so was he. She might as well fill him in one her plan some what.
"I figure either walk right in there and let them know who I am, or start a commotion in the parking lot was a good idea too. I guess I could carelessly break in too. Options are kind slim, but I'll do whatever it takes to get in there. If you have any other ideas on how to get in there, throw them my way."
