After this, Behrooz is in the bar, looking shaken and (more than) a little paranoid. His eyes dart around, and it's clear he's looking for someone.

If you work or worked for CTU, he probably wouldn't mind running into you.

Tony returned Michelle’s laptop to room 48 after dinner. He needs to socialize tonight, not slave away at a computer. He spots Behrooz in the bar during a routine scan, notices that the boy’s a little…disturbed. He frowns.

“Behrooz?”

[kayip.livejournal.com]

Behrooz sees Tony, and walks over to him.

"Rhalen's here," he mumbles.

[iwasalevel6.livejournal.com]

He closes his eyes. “What does he look like?”

[kayip.livejournal.com]

"Blond hair, blue eyes... he was wearing a yellow coat..." he looks briefly down and up again. "He... changed the way he looked in front of me. I'd seen him before - he must have been here a while."

[iwasalevel6.livejournal.com]

He sighs, an irritated sigh.

“Have you spoken to Security yet?”

[kayip.livejournal.com]

He shakes his head. "It just happened."

[iwasalevel6.livejournal.com]

“You need to talk to Security. You need to tell them who he is, what he did. He’s also responsible for that truth spell and he’s planning something with another man in the bar. Security knows about him. His name’s Ramon Salazar. Can you do that for me?”

[kayip.livejournal.com]

Behrooz shifts. "I don't know anyone on Security." That and his feelings toward law enforcementwere still rather cool.

[iwasalevel6.livejournal.com]

He scans the bar for a moment. “I don’t see any around. But ask for Faith or Alanna. Or you can talk to Jack if you see him.”

[kayip.livejournal.com]

"I'll do that, then," he says. He appears calmer, but still uncomfortable.

[iwasalevel6.livejournal.com]

He tentatively pats Behrooz on the shoulder. “That’s all we can do.”

[kayip.livejournal.com]

"Yeah," he says, not looking at him.

[iwasalevel6.livejournal.com]

“Is everything else all right?”

[not-a-redshirt.livejournal.com]

Well, here's a bored-looking Castle, at Behrooz's disposal.

Though their past few conversations have been a tad awkward, he notes the shaken appearance with concern. "Behrooz? Are you okay?"

[kayip.livejournal.com]

Behrooz-mun is going to millitime this to after he talked to Tony, so as not to break her brain.

Behrooz looks at Castle, then looks briefly around the bar.

He hesitates. "Someone's... here..." Castle had arrived after the incident with his mother, so he's not sure how to explain it. "The man who... cast that truth spell... he's in the bar."

[not-a-redshirt.livejournal.com]

Castle nods, warily. "Are you...afraid he's going to do it again?"

He's not sure why Behrooz would be so upset about this, but he remembers how distressed Behrooz had been by the truth spell.

[kayip.livejournal.com]

"He was here before you came," Behrooz says, looking away. "When my mother was here. He... worked with her."

[not-a-redshirt.livejournal.com]

He thinks he understands.

"Has he been threatening you?" he asks quietly, after a moment.

[kayip.livejournal.com]

He hesitates. The 'Sweet dreams' comment certainly sounded like it.

"Kind of," he replies after a moment.

[not-a-redshirt.livejournal.com]

He tries to remember what he's heard about the person who created the Compulsion. It's all secondhand information, and questionably reliable.

"Have you told anyone about this?"

[kayip.livejournal.com]

"I told Tony," he says, looking up again. "He said to talk to Security."

[not-a-redshirt.livejournal.com]

He nods. "I'd second that. I mean, maybe I'm not one to talk, but I think you should."

[OOC: Mun's comp is dying here, but I'll be back in Philly tomorrow, so can we slowtime until then?]

[kayip.livejournal.com]

"Right," he says. It's not an unconvincing tone, though it's not completely certain, either.

[not-a-redshirt.livejournal.com]

The uncertainty isn't unexpected.

"I've had dealings with Security before," he says. "They might seem a little intimidating, but they're understanding. If you're being threatened, they'll help."

[kayip.livejournal.com]

"Yeah," he says quietly.
