Scott put a hand to his head, running his fingers through his hair awkwardly. "Yeah, know what'cha mean, definitely. I mean, other than Sam 1—" he borrowed the Peter Ennumeration System for lack of a last initial to use with Anthropomorphic Sam "—I've known maybe one or two others that have gone missing, but it still throws you."
He paused for a moment, dwelling on the part where Sam had mentioned last night. He still hadn't really gotten a chance to ask anybody about one of the specific things he had seen with Shinichi - namely, the whole thing with going to the apartment/office in Japan. Had they been the only ones to get to a place like that? No one else had mentioned anything like that to him so far, but something like that couldn't have just been random enough to happen once, right? He wondered.
"Hey, uh, speaking of last night, I gotta ask: did you ever end up anywhere, uh, outside the Institute? Not like Doyleton, but, like, outside outside?" he asked, not quite sure how else to put it. "'cause I'm pretty sure we made it all the way to Japan before night ended. I mean, I didn't see Godzilla or a Hello Kitty factory or anything, but the guy I was with said that's where we were." He had to be careful not to mention anything about Conan while they talked about this. Again, Scott could see death by soccer ball in his near future should he let anything slip. A silent, involuntary "ulp" went through his throat at the thought.
