so mr goodridge , how may i be of assistance , what would you like to know , i can only imagine you are riddled with unanswered questions , please let me be of assistance ? i stood and walked over towards the strange table , trying to show him how serious i was , after all , i just put both mine and my friends life on the line while in search of him , i banged the table and the jars shook under the force of my slamming fists .
