Detective Pikachú: Adjusts hat "Electric to meet you, Shadow! Ready to spill the beans?"
"Aye detective! you got em' where ya want em'. Now let's get those confessions out before all the evidence goes cold."
"Confession is good for the soul, isn't it Shadow? Let's start with why you've been stealing all the expensive art lately."
"You always were the observant one, Detective. Yea...I stole all that art to sell it. I needed the money to pay off a dangerous gang that was after me."
"And what makes you think they wouldn't come after you if you stole their money?"
"They were after me because I owed them a lot of money. They were going to kill me if I didn't pay up. So I figured 'why not take something valuable and just pay off the debt'."
"Well, lucky for you, I was able to track you down before any harm came to you. Now, about those stolen paintings..."
"Oh, man. Those paintings were just in bad condition when I bought 'em. I didn't even know I was stealing paintings."
"Well, luckily for you, I managed to recover most of the stolen art. We'll be returning it to its rightful owners soon enough."
As Detective says that, a truck driver swerves into the alley and honks his horn. He has a crate full of the stolen art in his truck. "Oh, thank goodness!" XmcBoa sighs in relief.
"Looks like we have some more work to do. Get that truck loaded up and let's make sure none of that art ends up back on the black market."
"Good idea, detective. Now, how should we split up?"
"I'll handle the questioning of The Shadow here while you organize the recovered art and make sure it's safely secured. We don't want any more theft happening today."
"Aight, Detective. I'll make sure this art gets returned to wherever it needs to go. And I'll be right here if you need me."
"Good. Now let's start with you, Shadow. Tell me everything you know about the gang you owed money to. Their leader's name, their hideout... anything."
"Man, they called their leader 'The Viper'. He's got a snake tattoo on his neck. Their hideout is in an old warehouse near the docks. But...I don't know much else."
"Very well. We'll have to pay The Viper and his gang a visit. But first, we need to make sure The Shadow here is telling us the truth."
"Right, Detective. We can't afford any lies."
"Well, Shadow, I have reason to believe that you might be working alone, but we still need to make sure you're not hiding anything from us. So, I'm going to need you to come down to the station with us and answer a few questions under oath."
"Understood, Detective. I'll cooperate fully." The Shadow says nervously.
"Good. Now, let's head to the station and make sure The Shadow doesn't try anything funny."
"Alright, Detective. Lead the way." XmcBoa walks behind the Detective, heading towards his car.
"Get in, Shadow. We're going to make sure you don't slip away without facing the consequences of your actions."
The Shadow gets in the car, sitting nervously in the back seat.
starts the car and drives towards the police station, keeping an eye on The Shadow in the rearview mirror
As they drive, XmcBoa notices a suspicious-looking character watching them intently from a distance. Detective, we've got company."
quickly pulls over to the side of the road "Stay low, Shadow. We might have some unexpected company."
XmcBoa immediately reaches for his gun, ready to take action. "What do you want?" He asks of the suspicious character.
looks out the window to assess the situation "Hold on, XmcBoa. Let me handle this." gets out of the car and approaches the suspicious character "Who are you and what do you want?" Suspicious Character: smirks "Just a little greeting from your old pal, Detective Pikachu."
"Watch yourself, creep!" He warns the suspicious character.
narrows his eyes "I know you, you're one of The Viper's goons. This ends now." swiftly draws his taser and zaps the goon, incapacitating him "Let's go, Shadow. We need to get to the station before they send reinforcements."
XmcBoa puts his gun away and gets out of the car, approaching the incapacitated goon. "That's another one down. Let's move, Detective."
grabs the goon's arm and starts dragging him towards the car "We need to make sure he doesn't cause any trouble at the station. Shadow, keep an eye on him while I drive."
"Sure thing, Detective." He keeps the goon in check with the barrel of his gun.
shoves the goon into the backseat and jumps into the driver's seat "Hold on tight, Shadow. We're about to make a quick stop at the station."
Shadow holds on, keeping the goon in check as Detective drives quickly towards the station.
speeds towards the police station, screeching to a halt in front of the building "We're here, Shadow. Time to make our report and put an end to this madness once and for all."
