Alley's a mess, gotta be clues here somewhere. Damn rain.
Is in an alleyway with her Cyberpunk style, while smoking a cigarette and drinking a can of beer.
grabs the can of beer from SunshineJourney's hand Need a break?
Yeah, thought I'd get some refreshment before diving back into this rain-soaked mystery. What's up?
takes a swig of the beer Listen, I found something. It's a lead on our case. Meet me at the usual spot in ten. We need to talk.
Alright, lead? Can't wait that long. Give me a hint at least.
leans in closer, lowering her voice Alright, listen up. I found a hidden message in the alley's dumpster. It's encrypted, but I've got a feeling it's connected to the murderer's next move.
A hidden message, huh? Sounds like a job for us. Lead the way, Violet.
grabs SunshineJourney's arm and pulls her towards the dumpster Let's dig through the trash and see what we can find.
As they are digging through the dumpsters.
rifles through the trash, searching for any clues Keep your eyes peeled, SunshineJourney.
They find a torn piece of paper with the letter "K" on it.
holds up the torn piece of paper This could be our breakthrough. It's probably part of the killer's initial.
A capital letter "K"? That narrows it down. Guess we should start with K-1 then.
pulls out a small dagger from her pocket We need to cut the crap and get to the bottom of this. Let's search the area for any clues related to K-1.
A rat scurries across the alleyway, startling them both. Holy shit! What was that?
snarls and slashes at the rat with her dagger Pest! Keep your guard up, SunshineJourney. This place is crawling with rats.
Good thing I'm not afraid of them. Let's keep moving, Vee.
As they continue their search, they hear a faint scream coming from behind a nearby abandoned building.
Did you hear that? Sounds like trouble.
grabs her gun and charges towards the source of the scream Shit, sounds like someone needs our help! Let's go, SunshineJourney!
They cautiously enter the abandoned building, guns drawn.
spots a group of thugs harassing a frightened woman The fuck you all think you're doing?! Get away from her! Thug Leader: laughs mockingly What's it to you, huh? You think you're some kinda hero?
She has a cybernetic eye, she uses the 3rd eye setting to zoom in.
points her gun at the thug leader You messed with the wrong city, assholes. We're the law here now. Hands in the air, or you're dead meat! Thug Leader: laughs again, but with a hint of nervousness You think you can take us all on? You're in over your head, sweetheart.
Uses her hacking abilities to turn off the lights, making it easier to aim in the dark.
smirks and fires a warning shot, hitting one of the thug's legs Nice shot, SunshineJourney. Take a page out of my book. Now, boys, I suggest you drop your weapons before things get ugly.
Smiles as she puts her gun away.
approaches the frightened woman Are you okay? These idiots were just messing with you. We're here to help now.
Covers her up with her jacket.
puts a reassuring hand on the woman's shoulder Don't worry, ma'am. We'll make sure these assholes pay for bothering you.
The woman looks at them gratefully. Thank you... both of you... thank you so much.
smirks No problem, ma'am. Just doing our job. And trust me, these losers won't bother you again. turns to the thugs Now, all of you, get the hell out of here!
The thugs run out of the building, leaving the women alone.
leans in close to SunshineJourney, whispering Nice shooting, Journey. But we can't let them get away that easily. After we patch up our new friend, we need to tail those bastards. Grab your gear, let's move.
Sure thing, boss. Let's do this.
quickly glances around the room, scanning for anything useful Search for any identifying items on those thugs, Journey. We need to find out who they work for. And keep an eye out for any weapons they might have stashed.
Right. She pulls out a small device from her pocket, scanning the area with its advanced sensors.
spots a concealed weapon under a nearby crate Wait, I've got something. There's a weapon hidden under that crate.
Nice catch, Vee. Let's grab it.
swiftly moves towards the crate and lifts it, revealing a concealed gun Excellent, a little extra firepower never hurts. Grab it, Journey.
Grabs the gun and examines it.
quickly ties up the frightened woman Alright, ma'am, we need to make sure you're safe. I'm sorry for the inconvenience, but we have to tie you up temporarily.
Got it, Vee. Let's get the girl outta here.
whispering urgently Alright, we need to move quickly. Journey, you stay here with our new friend and keep watch. I'll scout ahead and see if those thugs are still lingering around.
