LINES FOR DEVLIN
DEVLIN
I heard that you are leaving the force.
LOGAN
Where did you hear that from?
DEVLIN
Detective Stewart told me.
LOGAN
Oh.
DEVLIN
You mind if I ask why?
LOGAN
Let's just say I've got a plan.
DEVLIN
Does that plan include being a Hogie? Sitting around all day watching TV while you eat submarine sandwiches. That's what happens to excops, you know?
LOGAN
I don't think I'll have that problem.
DEVLIN
We need people like you. Too many nuts jobs out there running all over the place.
Devlin leans toward Logan.
DEVLIN
I can tell you're good. I'm good, too. Travis thinks I'm some wet behind the ears cop, but he doesn't know that good detective work is about intuition. You and I have that. That's what separates us from the others, right?
LOGAN
Sure.
DEVLIN
I know I could have handled this case without any help. Don't get me wrong, it's cool that you guys are here. We're all on the same side. But I'm smart. Travis is a politician. He doesn't understand police work.
LOGAN
I'd better wake her up.
DEVLIN
Wow, so Stewart is a psychic.
LOGAN
What???
DEVLIN
A psychic. Didn't you know? I can tell because last year we had this case of a missing girl who disappeared out in the pasture by the old mill. The department brought in a local woman who we use from time to time. We don't publicize it any. But her whole technique is just like Stewart's. The lapse of consciousness, starring off into space, cold sweats, and the speaking in present tense. Only Detective Stewart is good, the best I've ever seen.
Logan is too stunned for words.
DEVLIN
Dude, you didn't know? And she's your partner. Do you pay her any attention at all?. I mean, it's quite obvious.
LOGAN
Hang on.
