Daniel walked into the control room, which was today housing a rather unusually large number of people, all of them seemingly crowded around Walter and Siler. Daniel stood back and watched, and as the crowd started to disperse, he made his way towards the two centre attractions. 'What's going on here?' Daniel asked.
'We're just settling the bets,' Walter replied.
'What bets?' Daniel asked.
'You know… the bet,' Siler answered. Daniel stared at him. 'What the bet?' he asked.
'You know… the bet,' Walter tried.
'Yes, Siler just told me that,' Daniel said, 'but he failed to say what the bet…'
'You know…' Walter said, and Siler started motioning with his arms. '…the bet.'
'The… bet?' Daniel asked, until it suddenly dawned on him. 'Oh… the bet.'
'Yes Sir. I, um… accidentally walked in on them in the supply closet on level 18,' Siler explained, but Daniel was too stunned to listen. 'I can't believe they didn't tell me,' Daniel said, a little bit too loudly.
'Well, on the plus side, Doctor Jackson, you won 30 dollars,' Walter said, handing Daniel three 10 dollar bills.
