Betty is a little stunned and
shares with the others, "Okay...
Dwin just said that he thinks
the Tall Man is his father."
Happy half laughs, "What?"
Barney rocks back and forth in
Happy half laughs, "What?"
Barney rocks back and forth in
his chair, "Maybe Dwin is a looney
tune. Remember that guy who played
Rookery Tower with us? F'ing nuts."
Betty pushes away from the computer,
"It is pretty bizarre to want the Tall Man
to be your Dad."
Happy's lost, "What's Dwin's background?"
Barney stops rocking, "He said he's a foster kid."
"A foster kid that now lives with what sounds
like very nice and very rich foster parents."
Betty looks back at the computer screen,
"Dwin's going to bed." Betty types and speaks,
"Night, Dwin. We can talk more about the

Happy paces back and forth, "1994 means he's

"Young. Fourteen. We should ask Higgs

a code. It truly means nothing to me. It is
just a row of numbers."
Betty specs, "Maybe Higgs didn't come to chat
because he got a little freaked out by Dwin and
his Dad, the Tall Man."
Barney laughs as he spins around to his laptop
and starts typing.
Betty looks over at him, "What is it?"
"Just a row of numbers and if you... hold on - "
Barney types and smiles, "That could be it."
"What?"
