It's blue. Blue and standard, and alarmingly neat, just like the rest if Mikes personality. No posters, but a picture of him and the gang. Quite a few actually--there's also one with Briggs and they look about 19, sitting on a stoop with a bottle of alcohol, both of them grinning.
There's also a picture of a crime scene, body covered by a sheet. Evidence markers. The photographer caught in a cracked window.
There's quite a lot of books, though. Ornithology, a surprising amount of law books, some crime thrillers. One that was about the Buddhist center of philosophy, no doubt Briggs' gift. DVDs, all of them Oscar winners, most of them drama or thrillers. A guitar. More pictures of Paige and him, mostly. A laptop--the regulars.
"My room, next to Paige and Jakes. Briggs is down the hall. Bathrooms first door on your left."
He lets the door close with a soft click. Staring straight at billy.
