Gavin: “I don’t know what that meant just now, or what got into you in the art gallery. But I DO know that I’m fed up with you “Visitors”!
Hank is staying late today to make sure I’m “safe”, from what- or whoever. Because you criminalized my brother (nevermind he’s perfectly able to criminalize himself), my career, too, is going down the drain!”
Daniel: “Hey! Hands off!”
Gavin: “You wish! How many more bruises do you think Hank can explain away as you having sustained them in the brawl, hm? I’ll spell it out it for you: A whole d--- lot!”

Daniel: “Kch… kch…”
Gavin: “There the mighty hero from outerspace is… Ha! Even you need to breath like any living creature. So, what are you gonna do now?”
Daniel couldn’t tell. He was, however, quite certain what his body would do reflexively, if the human didn’t let go of him in one… two…
*GOB!*

Gavin: “Ouch, ouch, ouch! Did you just SPIT at me?!”
Squirting acid that could leave a large mammal such as Gavin temporarily blinded was a tried and true defense mechanism of the Visitors. And it would have worked against a random pedestrian, but not a detective who had learned the ropes in the streets of Detroit. It took more than a little pepper spray to incapitate Gavin Reed.

Gavin quickly wiped the acid off his face, then attacked his cellmate again. The human was better trained, more experienced in dirty fighting, the Visitor was naturally stronger and quicker, but a non-combatent in addition to just having woken up from unconsciousness. Gavin didn’t expect his opponent to flinch away instead of attacking back, and so his fingers scraped across Daniel’s skin… that suddenly gave way, revealing a second layer underneath.

Gavin: “A mask? You’re wearing a rubber mask? And this is what you’re looking like underneath? Like the proverbial little green men from Mars?!"
Daniel: “Wrong, human. This is how I look with the glue that holds the mask in place smeared all over my face. And with contact lenses.”

Gavin: “Hank! Hank, come quick! There’s some weird critter in my cell!”
Daniel: “Says the little pink man from outer space…”
