A couple more before I fall asleep at the keyboard..

Was Alrik right, and the man was a detective? Or maybe a spy with a code phrase?

If not would it help to know his occupation?

Did he take the barman's gun with him when he left?

Something is missing here. Is it:

More words between the two that we haven't heard yet?

More objects that we haven't seen yet?

Or just more story that we haven't figured out yet? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
