Victor Sterling: clutching a stack of rare books "Honey, forget the jewelry! The first editions! Save the first editions!"
What's up with the lady in the red dress?
frantically scanning the room "Damn! The Red Dressed Lady is part of the group who set this off! She's the inside man! Save the Red Dressed Lady!"
It looks like she was killed when she jumped out of the floor that hit her head.
drops the books, eyes wide "No! No! She can't be dead! Save her! She's the key to everything! The thief must've wanted what she knew! Save her!"
grabs bidm's arms, desperation in his voice "No! You don't understand! She's the only one who knows who's behind this! If she dies, we'll never find out who did this! We have to save her! And if you go in there, you'll be next! Don't go in there! Stop!"
turns and surveys the room, panic rising "I see the chaos... but I need to stay focused! There must be something here that can tell us who did this..."
eyes widen as he notices something on the floor "What is that...? A piece of torn fabric... It looks familiar... and there's blood on it."
quickly picks up the fabric, examining it closely "This... this looks like a piece of the Red Dressed Lady's dress!
You know that dress looks exactly like mine.
gasps "What?! So... so this was a planned attack then? They knew who she was and wanted to exploit her knowledge! And now, they're after you too!"
places a hand on bidm's shoulder, urgency in his voice "They're after anyone who knows anything about the Red Dressed Lady!
frantically paces back and forth "We need to get out of here! They'll come after us again, and next time, we won't be so lucky!"
snaps his fingers "We need to gather any evidence we have, every clue, and get out of here before they strike again!
grabs bidm's arm, urgency in his voice "They won't stop until they've silenced us both! We need to move fast! Grab everything you have, every note, every recording, everything!"
Fuck, I'm really going to regret this, aren't I?
As bidm and Victor Sterling gather their belongings, they hear footsteps approaching from outside the room. They quickly hide behind some debris, holding their breath as the intruders enter the room. The intruders rummage through the room, searching for any clues or evidence. After a tense few moments, they leave, and bidm and Victor Sterling breathe a sigh of relief. They quickly make their escape, determined to expose the truth and bring those responsible to justice.
whispering urgently "We're not out of the woods yet! We need to stay low and keep our guard up. They won't stop until they've silenced us completely."
Do you have any idea who was behind this?
paces back and forth, deep in thought "I don't know for sure, but I have a few suspicions. There's a powerful crime family in this city, the DeLucas.
Yeah, I've heard of them.
grabs bidm's arm, determination in his voice "We need to start with the DeLucas. We need to find out if they're behind this and take them down.
clenches his fists, eyes blazing with determination "Yes, take them down! We need to expose their involvement in this and put an end to their reign of terror!
Shit, are you sure about this?
nods, determination in his voice "I'm sure. This is the only way to bring justice to those responsible and protect others from becoming victims.
