Can you wait for a bit? I'll be free in half an hour or so." "Tell you what, I'm out this way to check in with a friend who's awaiting trial so how be you okay my visit with your girl here and I'll catch you back here at the front desk in an hour." "Who we got that you want to see?" "Ray Chauffe. Came in just in the last day or two and probably will be on bail later this week or early next." "Yeah, I know who you mean. Quiet guy, truck driver, mixed up with that POCO murder. Sure, put me back to the girl on the desk." "Thanks, see you in an hour." Mike hands the phone back to the girl and she speaks into it. She listens and says she will take care of everything. Hanging up she regards Mike with a new respect. "Please give me a minute and I'll see if he's in his unit."

Mike tries to think what Norm might have said to make her act like this; then he tries a feeler, "What time you get off work tonight, Jenny?" Now she's visibly agitated and says he can go in for his visit. She watches him as he goes to one of the doors in the round reception room. Mike raps and hears a door lock thud in the door. He opens it and steps into an antechamber with a guard. The guard ensures the door behind Mike is closed before he punches a button opening the door into a large visiting area with tables.
