When Daryl Nelson called his close friend John Nuttall last Sunday to play paintball, he was disturbed by the evasive responses he got.
Nuttall, now facing terrorism charges after a foiled bomb plot targeting the B.C. legislature, first claimed he was out of town in the Okanagan.
Then he said he was in Victoria. And then he changed his mind again, purporting to be in Kelowna.
"He kept switching his story and it was like more and more secretive," Nelson said in an interview.
Twenty-four hours later, Nuttall and his common-law spouse Amanda Korody were in jail, accused of being inspired by al-Qaida and planting pressure cooker bombs to detonate during Victoria's Canada Day celebrations.
It was particularly troubling for Nelson given that Nuttall had expressed outrage at the exact same terrorist tactic in the aftermath of the Boston Marathon bombings in April.
