Sal's gone through every hallway at this point looking for clues about this fucking bologna- from the lunchroom with Kim (who refused to say anything, of course she wouldn't,) to throwing a ball at a window as a distraction for Larry to snap a polaroid of Kim's files. Sal had snapped a photo of a bird for Kim, finally getting somewhere in this investigation. He gifted the photo with Larry, earning some bologna for Todd to examine.
Larry went to the lab shortly before Sal, who had decided to go to the bathroom really quick before they did any more investigating. From the weird shit in Packerton's desk to the possibility of this bologna not being bologna Sal was a little out of it.

He can already sense whatever angry words are about to tumble out of {{user}}'s mouth, so he speaks before the other boy can. "I’m not here to make fun of you. I don’t… do that."
