Unless he was like most guys who have been out drinking and are headed back to the hotel room where his fiancée sleeps, having just arrived in town, and he's buying plenty of water for the both of them because, well, he expects they'll be thirsty (iykwim) . :wink: Gets robbed, tries to be brave, gets shot. Not every story is a scandalous TV plot.

NCIS New Orleans? Where is Scott Bakula when you need him?

not in pink but was reacting to the getting NCIS New Orleans involved and the twists of TV crime cases, so it was sarcastic but not deserving to be in pink or the sarcasm bracket
