"Agent Markham, as a warning, don't go to close to fort Mercer even if your trail leads you that way, that is a place you do not want to be spotted at with that badge of yours." Uther was mid handshake and warning when he lost all train of thought. Without another word he stood form his chair and walked over towards the door and looked out. Did he just see a ghost? His brows furrowed in confusion as he stepped out and looked into the street of Oasis to find nothing. His foot steps echoed the wooden planks as he took a few paces up and down, forgetting he had left Irene and Sam back at his office.<br/><br/>For a brief moment confusion and hope spread across his features instead of bitterness but it quickly faded when it was just a mind trick. Had he drank too much? The bottle hidden in his drawer was half empty and it was only the middle of the day. Upon return he came and sat back down, not caring if the two saw him as he took an open swig of his bottle. "Don't go to Mercer, good day folks." He forced out but it was clear something else haunted his mind.
