But then where were the prisoners stored in the interim - the Dept Store looked more like a temporrary place that would have been employed immediately to hold all the suspects (even when many may have been released -n they have to be held somewhere).

The date of Suchong signing up with Ryan is also kinda late (2 months AFTER the shootout), more likely to be immediately after the seizing and with Suchong being important personnel for the continuance of the ADAM processing. I could actually see Suchong calling on  Ryan to work for him, instead of being left in with a gang of thugs.
