The sun is shinning through the open patio doors of the Llanfair library. A cool spring breeze wafts through the room. The library is unoccupied; however the sprits of the people that have graced the room with their presence live on giving the room a life of its own.
There is a sudden change in the atmosphere as a tall man enters the room through the patio doors. He is wearing tattered clothing and his face is unshaven. He has dark hair but he is balding. He looks as if he has been beaten very badly recently.
The man looks around making sure there is nobody else within range of him. As he looks around the room it's clear by the expressions on his face that this is not his first time here. He looks at the couch and gets a small smile on his face as if he is having a memory. He walks over to the desk and notices all the picture frames spread across it. As he scans all of the pictures he stops on one in particular and picks it up. He runs his fingers across the glass of the frame and then holds it to his heart. The man decides that he wants the picture and removes it from its frame. He places the picture in his back pocket. He then again looks over the other pictures and picks another one up. He gets a look of sadness upon his face as he stares at it.
Brody enters Llanfair through the front door. He notices the man standing in the library. He can tell by looking at the man that he doesn't belong there and attempts to approach him. The man must have heard him coming. He drops the picture he was holing and starts to run. As Brody starts to chase after him he stops to pick up the picture that the man was looking at. It was a picture of Viki and Charlie from their wedding day. Brody takes off running towards the terrace to find the man. He sees him in the distance. He notices that the man is running quickly but seems to be in a lot of pain. Brody manages to catch up to the man and tackles him to the ground.
"Alright buddy. What were you doing in that house?"
The man says nothing.
"Well if you don't tell me what you are doing here I'm going to have to take you down to the station."
Still the man says nothing.
Brody handcuffs the man and they start walking towards his car.
At the police station Brody takes the man to an available interrogation room and sits him down on a cold steel chair.
"Okay it's time to start answering some questions. What were you doing at Llanfair? Why were you looking at that picture of Mr. and Mrs. Banks? Do you know either of them?" Brody was trying to get answers.
The man still has nothing to say.
"Alright if you don't want to talk to me then I'm going to get someone else. Maybe you'll feel like sharing with them. In the mean time you can sit here and think about what you have to say." Brody leaves the room.
Brody enter the squad room and notices John sitting at his desk. He approaches John and taps him on the shoulder.
"Hey McBain I need your help with something. I caught this homeless guy creeping around Llanfair. He was in the library staring at a picture of Viki and Charlie. When I approached him he took of running. I caught up with him and asked him what he was doing there but didn't say anything. I brought him here and he still won't talk. Maybe you can get him to talk. I don't know who he is. I've never seen him before. Will you help me?"
"I'll give it my best shot. Did anyone else see him?"
"Not that I know of, I had just gotten there. I was going to see Jessica."
"Ok let's go talk to this guy."
John and Brody enter the interrogation room. The man is just staring at the wall.
"I'm Detective McBain and you already know Officer Lovett, what's your name?"
The man does not answer him.
"So you're the quite type huh? Well unless you provide us with some answers we are going to have to charge you with breaking and entering. You're gonna go to jail. Is that what you want?" John asks the man.
The man still says nothing.
"Alright Officer Lovett here is going to take you down to booking. Run his fingerprints maybe something will come up." John instructs Brody.
"I want to speak to Bo Buchanan." The man finally speaks.
"Oh so you do know how to talk. How do you know the commissioner? Brody asks.
The man says nothing.
"Okay it's obvious that you're not going to talk to us so we'll just go and try to locate the commissioner for you. Just sit tight." John tells the man.
John and Brody exit the room. John explains to Brody that Bo is out of the office and that he doesn't know where he is. Just then Nora comes around the corner.
"Hey guys what's up?" Nora asks them
"Well I caught this guys lurking around Llanfair and he tried to run from me when I approached him. I caught up with him but he wouldn't tell me what he was doing there. I brought him hear and he still wouldn't tell either of us why he was there. The only thing he said was that he wanted to speak to Bo." Brody explained.
"Have either of you seen him before?" Nora asked
"No. He looks homeless. And it looks like he's taken a beating." John replied.
"Well Bo is at the Mayor's office right now. If you don't mind maybe I can talk with the guy. Maybe I have seen him before." Nora asked
"It's worth a shot." John said.
Brody, John and Nora enter the interrogation room. Nora starts to speak before she realizes who the man is.
"Hi I'm Nor… Oh My God!" Nora is speechless
"So you know this guy. Who is he?" John asks
"Um John would you and Brody get Bo and tell him he needs to get over here right away." Nora asked
"Nora we're not going to leave you alone with this guy. I'll stay and Brody can go and get Bo." John said
"No it's ok. I know this man. He won't hurt me, right?" Nora asks the man. He shakes his head no.
"Alright but I will be right outside if you need me." John tells her.
John and Brody exit the room.
"What the hell was that?" Brody asks John
"I don't know, but you better go and get Bo. I have a feeling you stumbled on something big." John told Brody.
Nora turns her attention back to the man in handcuffs. She still can't believe who she is looking at.
"Hello Nora" the man says
"Oh My God, Ben you're alive" Nora exclaims.
