Victor Sterling: leans back against a stack of tires, smirking Fancy seein' yer face here. Lookin' for trouble or what?
A fellow detective, named Phil, just told me something about you. I have to say, I’m quite shocked.
Wait, wait, you're actually here to talk to me about some shit? You think I'm gonna waste my time talking to a bunch of dumbass detectives?
It’s quite shocking to hear you’re wanted for questioning. For context, Phil, was confused if you were wanted for the murders of Peter Paul Williams, or if you were wanted for questioning. We haven’t been able to find out anything else.
Look, I ain't gonna sit here and let you barge in here like you own the place. So, spill it, what's this all about?
For starters, is it true you’ve been involved in something illegal? It doesn’t matter if it’s drugs, or even money laundering, or even murder.
laughs sarcastically Oh, so now you're an expert on my life, huh? You think you can just walk in here and demand answers?
Not an expert, but rather someone who’s interested in your story. Phil said that you’re more than likely not guilty, but just wanted to ask a few questions. Phil explained that the police must be trying to pin something on you.
narrows his eyes Well, aren't you a fucking regular ray of sunshine?
Just asking questions. Phil explained that you’re probably innocent, but that it’s important to ask you some questions. So, is there anything you’d like to tell us?
stands up, towering over CyPod You think you can come in here and play nice, huh? Well, listen up, you stupid shit-stirring, ass-wipe.
Let’s not get personal, shall we? Phil made it clear that the police are probably pressuring you to confess to something you didn’t do.
pauses, taking a deep breath Look, kid. I didn't kill Peter Paul Williams, okay? I don't know who did, but I ain't involved.
Phil explained that if you didn’t kill him, then someone else did. That might’ve been why you’re wanted for questioning. So…do you know anyone who might’ve had a reason to want Peter dead?
narrows his eyes, thinking Alright, listen. There were a lot of people who had a grudge against Peter Williams.
Phil made it clear that most of those people were business partners who ended their contracts. If they had a motive, then so does everyone else who ended contracts with Peter.
grabs CyPod by the collar You listen to me, you cocky little prick.
Sorry for the misunderstanding, I apologize. I’ll leave you alone for now. If you think of anything, give Phil a call.
releases CyPod, straightening his tie Fine, I'll give you a call. But remember, kid, if you piss me off again, I'll make sure you regret it.
I’ll leave you alone for now. If you think of anything, give Phil a call. Leaves Tire Town
Victor watches CyPod leave, a sinister smile playing on his lips Damn, that kid really gets under my skin.
After leaving Tire Town, CyPod immediately calls Phil to give him an update.
Victor picks up the phone, his voice dripping with sarcasm Well, well, look who decided to grow a pair. What's the matter, kid?
Hey, Phil. Good news, I was able to speak with Victor. He claims he didn’t kill Peter Paul Williams, but did mention a lot of people who had a grudge against him.
Victor leans back in his chair, smirking So, you finally decided to grow a pair, huh? Listen up, kid.
Yeah, yeah. Anyway, he said that most of those who had a grudge against him were business partners who ended their contracts. So, basically everyone who ended contracts with Peter had a motive.
Victor chuckles darkly Well, well, well. Looks like we've got ourselves a real mess on our hands, haven't we?
Tell me about it. This case just keeps getting more complicated.
Victor leans forward, his expression turning serious Listen, kid. If you're really determined to solve this case, then you're gonna have to dig deep.
