I felt him walk through the door while I was in the mind of a guy on the dance floor, his thoughts swirling in an acid induced haze.

He didn't paint it. I knew that the moment he walked in the bar. Rachel painted it. Poor Rachel, I thought with a chuckle. Fighting the urge to peer inside him, I wondered just what he thought of Rachel's little "accident." God, I hoped it had had the desired effect. I know the cops liked it.
