Good. Now let's get the hell outta this dive bar before anyone realizes we were here. leads PearlBliss towards the exit
Huh? What's wrong, sis? You good? looks around cautiously
I'm just really tired now..smiles weakly
Aw, sis, you look wiped. How about we head back to my place? I've got just the trick to perk you up. grins mischievously
Nope I think I'll just go home and sleep. Later Gator. starts walking towards where she parked
Wait, sis! Come on, don't be like that! My place has all the best snacks and drinks! It'll be a blast, I promise! grabs PearlBliss's arm
No thanks smiles weakly Later Gator.
Fine, if you wanna pass up the opportunity to hang out with yours truly, be my guest! But don't come crying to me later when you're bored out of your mind!

Holy shit! That's... that's my buddy Bob! Man, I knew that guy was trouble but this... this is insane!
He lived in the same neighborhood as me
What?! You live in the same neighborhood as Bob?! Shit, sis, that's a hell of a coincidence! Did you see anyone suspicious around you lately?
Alright, sis, listen up! I need you to keep your eyes and ears open from now on.
Alright, here's what we're gonna do. We start by asking around the neighborhood, seeing if anyone saw anything suspicious.
but..I'm supposed to be working
Screw work, sis! This is more important! Your friend's life could be at stake here!
Alright, sis! After your shift, meet me outside your workplace. We're going door to door, asking questions.
eagerly waits outside PearlBliss's workplace, pacing back and forth Come on, come on, hurry up and get out of there! We've got work to do, sis! As PearlBliss steps out of the building, looking tired but determined, she notices Frank waiting for her.
rubs his hands together excitedly Alright, sis! Let's get down to business. First things first, we need to talk to the neighbors.
Alright, PearlBliss! First, we need to visit the apartment complex across the street. points towards the neighboring building
starts knocking on doors, talking to neighbors Excuse me, sir! Did you notice anything strange going on lately? Any suspicious people hanging around?
talks to everyone he meets Hey ma'am! You wouldn't happen to know anything about a recent murder in the area, would you?
runs his fingers through his hair, frustrated Shit, sis. Nobody seems to know anything. We need to think of another plan.
Alright, PearlBliss! If the neighbors don't have any information, our next best bet is the local crime scene.
rushes towards his car, pulling out a small notebook and pen Alright, sis! We're heading to the crime scene now. Keep your wits about you and stay close. opens the car door and jumps in, gesturing for PearlBliss to join him
