"Sure," Ernie said. "I've been at my desk for most of the morning--a stretch would be welcomed--just since there are a few higher risk areas that needed to be covered due to the recent incidents.

Well, probably for different reasons as Ern found that he hadn't been able to get to sleep following another of the nightmares.
