[A certain number of minutes later, Angela's stationed in the diner at a corner table, flanked on both sides by plate glass windows, and sipping on a cup of sugar-laced coffee. She isn't here just to get a sight of Orange from far away. She's enjoying the sunshine streaming through the windows. Cheap ass suntan, ahoy.]
[At least girl don't need no tanning booth or a can of spray. Unlike Freddy here who couldn't tan without peeling to save his life, but today he's in a long sleeve button down with the cuffs rolled to his elbows. Look at that headwound, looks like he got clawed by a werewolf from above his right brow halfway into his hair line. There's some bandage dressing on it to keep from making people lose their lunch although it's not that bad looking. Freddy's scanning the tables now for Angela.]
[Not that bad looking? Let somebody who doesn't downplay the urgency of being in the emergency room be the judge of that. Speaking of judging, Angela actually does catching sight of him walking in and her eyes go wild. Really wide. What in the world did he get into this time?]
I had a light fixture fall on me. [He nods once, not pulling away from her artist's hands.] It's not gonna come back and bite me in the ass if that's what you're thinkin'.
[Freddy's fairly sure on that part.]
And there ain't no guy on my band aid. [It's a yellow face with glasses. What even.]
I'm tellin' you the truth about it not comin' back to bite me.
[As far as Freddy knows anyway, because those guys are dead and he fears what she would do or think of him to know that. Sure there are vampires and aliens and other vicious fucks around here but to Freddy Newendyke, after being here for some time, the scariest motherfuckers to him are still the human ones. As for the rhythm, he sure doesn't stop her. Too bad he doesn't recognize the beat either.]
[His fancy schmancy dancing around the bush isn't lost on Angela. She pulls her hand back to her side of the table, folding it over the other one as she eyes him carefully.]
It's one thing to withhold information from me. It's another to lie to my face. I don't like liars.

Oh. My. God. What the hell happened to you?

[Not far off the mark where Eames is concerned. Freddy moves over to her table quickly. Good secluded spot.]
Play it down a little.

She manages to remember to put down her cup before touching Freddy's head lightly. No need to give him a third degree burn to complement the wound.]
The guy on the bandaid. What the hell happen to you?
[She's not letting that go. He might as well confess his sins.]

[Angela specifically avoids using the word liar, but knowing Orange how she does--or how little she does--she can't take his excuse at face value.
Her fingers tap out a little rhythm on his head.]
That's him on your bandaid. His face, anyway.

What do you want me to tell you? You work with cops don't you?
[He says so in a tone that implies yes, he has something to hide and it's something he would report to work right away, if he were in LA.]
