Later that evening, Bill went over to the Hinkley home. He had solved the case Carlisle gave him, much to the man's chagrin when the dog decided thank him by biting him in the leg.

As he approached the door, he made sure he had the bag containing Alexandrite's personal effects. After getting the report about Alexandrite's death, Carlisle declared the case a cold case. After bantering with Carlisle about it again, Bill was reluctantly given the case.

Bill knocked on the door hoping Ralph felt well enough to put the jammies on and get a holograph. "Come in Bill," Ralph shouted from inside, then coughed. The FBI agent barged in and saw the flowers. "Nice flowers kid, bet they're from the class," he said with a slight smirk.

Ralph nodded and chuckled. "Yep, nice gesture, but wrong flowers," he said. "Bill I'm glad you came, I need to talk to you..."

"Where's the Counselor," Bill interrupted. "She needs to hear this too since she's a part of the case."

"She should be here in a second," Ralph said a bit hesitantly. He had an argument with Pam on how to fly and didn't want to restart it again before telling Bill what happened.

"What's wrong Ralph," said Bill. "You're not afraid this Derreck guy's real do you?"

"No, though I'm still getting the dream," said the younger man. "But that's not it..."

Just then Pam came in. She was wearing a longwaisted and sleeved gray shirt over a pair of red leggings. Ralph noticed she was wearing leg warmers too.

"Ralph, you were right about the...oh, hi Bill," she said realizing the agent was there. She looked at Ralph and realized Bill didn't know what happened yet.

"Counselor, glad you could join us," said Bill, "I need to talk to both of you."

Pam sat down next to Ralph. "OK, Bill, we're all here. What's going on?"

"Well Counselor, I don't know if the law firm's been informed yet, but Alexandrite's dead. He was killed by another prisoner."

"What," said Ralph. "I thought the guards had him in special protection."

"They did kid, but while they were walking Alexandrite to the interrogation room, some creep walking down the hallway at the same time managed to stab him in the back with a knife," said Bill. "I was able to get some of Alexandrite's personal effects though, and I need you to see if you can get any vibes off them."

Ralph choked back a cough and said, "Uh, Bill I need to talk to you about the suit..."

"Come on kid, surely you can at least wear the top just to get a holograph. It's not like I'm asking you to fly with a busted shoulder and ribs."

"I know Bill and I appreciate that, but I tried wearing the suit today and it had a bad side effect."

"What, did it make you glow blue," said Bill. "That's only better. Last time that happened you could do a mind push. We could make the guy..."

"Bill," interrupted Pam. "Ralph put on part of the suit, and for some reason it acted funny. He started feeling as though he was freezing and when he stood up, he nearly passed out. Once the suit was off, he felt fine despite his shoulder and ribs hurting."

"Thing is, we don't know if it didn't want me to wear it or was trying to help heal me and just made it feel as though the painkiller's side effects doubled."

"Oh..." said Bill, nodding. "Well, we'll wait a little bit for you to come down from the meds and we can try again."

"Um, Bill that's going to be a slight problem right now," said Ralph, looking at Pam. "After we took off the suit, I made a comment to Pam about how the suit seemed to not be working on me. I said for right now, it could be hers for all it's worth and well, she's wearing the suit."

Bill started laughing. "Come on kid, you've gotta be kidding me. The Counselor? The suit only works on you, wouldn't even fit her."

Pam just rolled her eyes and stood, removing the gray shirt to reveal the tunic of the suit. She then put the cape around her neck.

Bill blinked in astonishment, but still didn't believe his eyes. "So the suit fits on her, big deal. It did that biker that one time, and he busted his arm trying to fly."

"I wasn't sure myself partner, but to test it, she picked me up in her arms and carried me to the couch with no problem."

Bill wasn't sure if Ralph was telling the truth or was the victim of another drug influenced dream, so he played along. "All right kid, if you really think it works on her, Counselor, here's some of Alexandrite's effects. See if you can get a holograph off them."

"Sure Bill, I'll try," said Pam, grousing a bit at the "request" as she tipped the contents of the bag into her hand. After a moment, a wavy image appeared before her. A prisoner was headed toward a pay phone and started dialing a number. "Ralph, I'm not sure, but I think I'm getting something. It's a wavy image with someone in it."

"Might be, here let me see," said Ralph as he placed a hand on her shoulder. "Yeah, honey you are. Bill you need to see this."

Bill rolled his eyes and kneeled next to the two. Pam put a hand on his shoulder, and Bill gasped as he too saw the image. "Counselor, that's a holograph."

"Now do you believe us," said Pam cynically. "Shhh...let's listen in."

"Listen, I did what you wanted me to, now where's my reward?" said the prisoner.

"Don't worry, Jesse, I'll find a way to get you out of prison," said the other man on the line. "Now, until then, keep everything I've told you a secret. If they try to make you say anything, you know what to do..."

"Right, understood," said Jesse as he hung up. The image faded.

"Counselor, is there any way you can talk to the guy," said Bill.

"I don't know Bill, but I should be able to," said Pam. "I'll talk to the firm tomorrow and see if I can get a plea bargain set up."

Bill was disappointed to hear 'don't know' come before 'should' but pressed on. "All right, tomorrow. Now, we have a different scenario to work out, especially with the Counselor wearing the jammies and being the rookie. Let's see..."

"Wait a second here Bill, I have an idea on what I'm doing..."

"You say that about cooking roast beef too, but you still gotta do as I say..."

"Just because I'm wearing the suit instead of Ralph doesn't mean you can ord..."

Ralph whistled and put his hand up. "OK, let's not start this off on the wrong foot. Bill, I've told Pam how the suit powers work. She's had some trials and errors, but, right now it's the two of you and I'm the third string backup."

The other two looked at Ralph then each other, nodding begrudgingly. Ralph kept back a smile. "Now, since it's late, I think we ought to go to bed and see what we can do about this tomorrow," he said.

"Right, well, have a good night kid, Counselor. Don't stay up too late," said Bill as he went out the door.

Pam closed it and turned to Ralph. "I don't know hun. You know how Bill and I argue about everything. This could become some crazy scenario."

"Pamela, it's been a crazy scenario for me ever since the green guys gave me the jammies, but you get used to it," said Ralph.

"What if this is permanent," Pam said. "What if the suit now wants me to wear it?"

"I don't know. Listen, let's go to bed and we can talk about it in the morning. If nothing else, you'll be bright-eyed and bushy-tailed to deal with Bill's drivel."
