Note: ((Boats=Ed aka the tour guide))

Danny calls me after a couple of minutes of me trying to think of some plan that will get me out of the room right now. 

DANNY: "Where are you?"  

ME: "I'm in the head; Graham barricaded me in here." 

DANNY: "You're in a bathroom? I could've gotten locked into a bathroom." 

ME: "It's a long story." 

DANNY: "Okay, I'm calling SWAT."

"No, you won't call SWAT. I'll find a way out of here."

I could hear the slight sound of him throwing his fist on the table or desk, for that matter, as I ask: 

"Just tell me, what do you got?" 

DANNY: "Okay. Graham's psychiatrist said that he's been experiencing blackouts, which means that he may have killed his wife without even realizing it." 

ME: "No, it doesn't make sense."

DANNY: "How does that not make sense? How does that not make sense to you? I mean, the guy fled the crime scene with the murder weapon in his hand." 

Even if I pulled my phone slightly away from my ear, I could hear him perfectly going off on a tangent and hearing Margot try to calm him down in the background slightly. And even hearing her say: 

"Tell him to be careful, or so help me god..."

I slightly laugh at the way she had said it; sort of good to hear her voice too. 

DANNY: "Huh? I mean, I am no detective-- Wait a minute. Where am I? Oh, I'm a detective! He is still our prime suspect!" 

 ME: "Graham identified me as a threat, and he didn't do anything, okay? He could have killed me, but he didn't." 

DANNY: "Okay, all right, listen. I know this guy is a SEAL, all right? And brothers-in-arms, the whole thing-- I get that. All right, but that does not mean he didn't kill his wife."

ME: "You're right. You're right, but I promised him that we would investigate this murder." 

DANNY: "What do you think I'm doing? I am investigating. Unfortunately, he is our only suspect. In my experience, when you only have one suspect, he's usually the one that you put in jail! Okay, you want me to broaden the search, fine, but you're gonna have to give me something else." 

ME: "As a matter of fact, I actually might have a new lead. Graham said that Noreen was a Russian citizen; they moved here six years ago."

DANNY: "All right, that'll explain why she has no record before '04."

ME: "Right. And she changed her identity before they came here. Her first name is Irina. So dig deeper. You know what? Maybe that manuscript you found can help."

DANNY: "Okay, well, I already sent that over to your friend Catherine in intelligence, and she said we'll have a translation back in an hour. Oh, and the key-- I got a match to a safe deposit box, First Hawaiian Bank. They're sending the contents over right now." 

There's a clattering coming from the door of the bathroom; Danny's yelling at me through the phone as I tell him that I'll call him back later and get over to the wall just in case it was Graham or someone else that was a threat. Only seeing as it was Boats, I sigh as he says: 

"I figured you'd want your things back."

He smirks at me slightly and punches his fist into his other hand, only for me to look at him asking:
