Sam knocked quietly on the door, then used her key to open it. "Cedric? How's he doing?" Her arms were full of magazines, orange juice, chicken broth, crackers, and tylenol.

Sam snickered. "Okay, so first thing? You don't seem to lie well."

"I don't?" He tries to keep a straight face but fails. "Why do you say that?"

"Do I?" He's honestly never realized that. "So, you've picked up on any lies I've been telling?"

Sam nodded and leaned forward. "Right, you'd said. Still nothing?"

"Still nothing," he says. "And I'd be all right with that...if I didn't know for a fact that there was a major threat looming again."
