"You askin' about Justin Nelson, Jr.? Oh, he's just nuts. Thought he saw a UFO once, but it was a weather balloon." The trio converged in the middle of aisle seven. "He asks strange questions, that's about all."
"He almost shot me!" the Lab Coat Man exclaimed.
"Would you leave that alone for a minute?" Denny asked. "We'll have to get him out of the way."
"And whoever has Forrester," Zeke added.
"Something happened to Forrester?!" exclaimed a black woman at the end of the aisle, who had been comparing prices of toilet paper (2 for $5). "Who was careless enough to let two of us be compromised?!" she demanded.
"Keep your voice down, Shenika," Denny replied. "Forrester was in charge of the daily operations, so he's only got himself to blame."
"And who lost the other one?" Shenika demanded. All turned to the Lab
Coat Man.
"I'm afraid I was responsible for the other mishap," he admitted, grudgingly.
"Yeah, right before you became a Hindu," Shenika said, noticeably not suppressing a smirk.
"Well, you can't be too hard on the old LCM, here," said Zeke, "'cause Justin has always had a quick temper. And since he's paranoid, he's more likely to notice something going on. In fact, I think he thinks there was something going on before he got hold of the clipboard."
