"So, you going to stand there and drink that mess? Really, don't tell me you don't want to go out and walk around and investigate a little bit. It is Saturday after all, and no one's working, so everyone's going to be out and about."

He stopped and turned around. "You know what's happening right now? I can't move because my whole body is tingling, and you're standing there grinning."
