Somehow, Keene knew he would come in just as talk of the Spear of Destiny began. This is why his Valium-blood level is at a nice, optimal level. He moves, sits down next to Compton, and leans in a bit once he starts talking to him. He gives no audible reply; instead, he inclines his head once, pats Compton on the shoulder, and offers him a cigarette from his breast pocket. Meanwhile, with his other hand, he takes out a legal pad and pen from inside of his coat.
