"I don't know what is about you and hats...this hat is perfectly fine!" Rudy automatically replied. He hated it when people insulted his fashion sense. Especially Kennex. That was Kennex he just heard, right??

He turned in Kennex's direction after the first statement. "You're really here?! I can't believe that... Um...How long have you been here?"

He totally ignored the other statements, he realized that the detective was joking. He was too excited to learn that Kennex was here and he could possibly explain what happened. Judging by the way he was behaving it looked as if Kennex didn't just arrive.
