fumbles with papers, then points to a blurry image. "L-looks like our m-main suspect, Johnny 'The Claw' Maranzano."
Okay so what are we doing?
slams fist on the table, smirking "We're gonna dig up every dirt on this guy, Echo. I got connections, informants, they'll all know him by his first name.
I say we stop by the bar where he was last seen.
grinning slyly "Good call, Echo. We'll start by hitting up the bartender, maybe get a lead on his usual drinks or who he was hanging with.
I walk up to the bar keep and say my name is bruce bolt.
snaps fingers "Hey, listen up! I'm Bruce Bolt, the ace private dick. You wouldn't happen to know a guy named Johnny 'The Claw' Maranzano, huh? No? Well, thanks anyway. Keep those ears open, will ya?" Bartender: leans in, whispering "Aw, shucks, Bruce, I don't wanna get mixed up in no crime crap. I gotta keep my nose clean, y'know?"
leans in closer, grinning slyly "Listen, buddy, I appreciate your concern for your 'nose cleanliness', but we're talking about bringing down a dangerous criminal here!
Hey that’s ok. I say we leave him and look somewhere else.
slams fist on the counter, veins bulging "No, Echo, we can't just give up! We're not gonna let some slimy bartender intimidate us!
Ok I just want to say that if you don’t like what I do with my mouth then go find another partner.
takes a deep breath, trying to calm down "Look, Echo, I didn't mean to snap at you. This case has been getting under my skin.
narrows his eyes, determination gleaming "Alright, Echo, let's cut to the chase. We need to find Maranzano, and I know just how to do it.
leans in closer, speaking in a low, intense tone "We're gonna pay a little visit to his favorite gambling den.
Oh yeah I heard he has one.
During their visit to the gambling den, Bruce and Echo get into a violent altercation with Maranzano's henchmen, resulting in injuries for both of them.
I end up getting shot in the leg shit.
gritting his teeth, clutching his bleeding arm "Damn it, Echo! We've got to get out of here! Can you walk?"
grabs MountainEcho's arm, pulling her towards the exit "Alright, stay close and keep moving! We can't let them catch us again!"
grits his teeth, wincing from the pain "Don't stop, Echo! We're almost out of here! Just keep pushing forward!"
spots a parked car nearby "There, Echo! We can make a run for it! Get in, quick!" pulls MountainEcho towards the car and opens the passenger door
jumps into the driver's seat, starts the engine "Hold on tight, Echo! We're getting the hell out of here!"
I try to steady my breathing
gritting his teeth, gripping the steering wheel tightly "Damn those bastards! They won't stop until they've finished what they started.
I hope they don’t send anyone after us.
glares at the rearview mirror, determination in his eyes "Echo, listen up!
leans in closer, his voice filled with conviction "We're gonna take these bastards down, Echo!
clenches his fist, staring at the road ahead "We need to gather our strength and come up with a solid plan. First, we need to find out who's behind all this."
scribbles notes furiously, muttering to himself "We need to dig deep, Echo. Find out who Maranzano reports to.
What do you think it will be?
As MountainEcho delves deeper into the investigation, they uncover a connection between Maranzano and a powerful syndicate.
What the fuck? So there’s more to this.
throws his hands up in frustration "Of course there's more, Echo! Maranzano wouldn't work alone.
slams his hand on the table, anger flaring in his eyes "Damn it, Echo! We need to act fast before they realize we're onto them.
