[Lloyd is lounging in his office rather than the break room, trying to stay away from all the hubbub in the break room.

Of course, it doesn't stop him from watching the report on his phone. Who needs TVs?]

[Mumbles, shaking his head after the explosion is reported.] ... Can't say I expected that.

[walks in, not bothering to knock] Got the lab results for me? [Dean's on shift, he hasn't been near the break rooms]

[Pulls out the file, not even looking up from his phone.] Oh, yes, here they are...

[The report starts talking about the FBI setting their dogs loose to search for Zekarion, and Lloyd muses if they'll actually end up finding him after a stunt like that.]

[as he reaches for the file, Dean catches the phone's noise. He blinks] What just happened-?

[i_said_science]

Care to watch? [Rewinds it--he's been recording the report--and hands the phone to Dean.]

[impalasandpie]

[stares down at the phone, letting everything process] Christ.

It's a tragedy, no doubt... After all that investigation, the suspect has escaped.

[impalasandpie]

How can a man survive an explosion like that? That makes no sense.

[i_said_science]

Who knows? It's as much a mystery to me as anyone else!

[impalasandpie]

They're certain he survived?

[i_said_science]

Unless his body was just completely incinerated in the fire... which is unlikely, considering that none of the others were. It doesn't make any sense.

[impalasandpie]

No. It doesn't.

The FUCK is going on in this city?

[i_said_science]

I only wish I knew.
