[As Johnnie turns to look toward her and the muffins, he hears footsteps coming from down the hallway and quickly nudges a drawer shut and sidesteps toward the bathroom to make it look like he's just come from there - and also to help block the view of whoever is coming so Chrissy has another second to look less suspicious herself.]

Oh, hey, sorry! Had to step away and deal with something for a minute. Can I help you two?

[It's not the same guy as before but a different, younger man wearing a nametag. "Brian", apparently. Johnnie grins as if he's grateful.]

Nahh, we're all good here! Hope you don't mind us refilling your coffee pot though. We were just on our way out the door and figured we could use the drink. Y'know, you gotta keep that thing filled, man!

[He says it like he's joking around, rather than annoyed - but while both are true, he definitely is slightly annoyed. He didn't manage to pocket much. Damn kid needs to either always be here or stay away a lot longer next time so they can help themselves.]
