crouches by a shattered neon sign, flickering in the rain. "Bingo bango! What've we here, partner? Looks like a clueuuueee."
"Damn, that's some good eyes, buddy! You think it's from the killer?"
"Shucks, no time for pleasantries! I believe it's a ransom note... Hmm, what do we have here?" stares at the note intently
EtherealOasis quickly scans over the area to make sure nobody was hiding nearby.
grabs a flashlight and shines it around the area "Hold your horses, EtherealOasis! Let's make sure there ain't no strangers lurking around!"
He nods as he grabs his own flash light and starts to sweep the area, making sure everything seemed normal.
"Hot diggity dog! We're like two crime-fighting ninjas, EtherealOasis!" jumps up and strikes a superhero pose
"Snap outta it, partner! We've got work to do!" runs over to a bloodstained alleyway "Ooh la la! Looks like our killer had a bloody good time here!"
they find 2 other crime scenes within walking distance of each other, yet with no traces of anyone entering or leaving besides the killer.
"By George, partner! Looks like we've stumbled upon a real puzzler here! Two crime scenes, nary a footprint to be found!" scratches his chin thoughtfully
he looked around the area to see if there were any hidden panels or secret entrances. while looking around he realized how high tech this murder was.
"Well, butter my biscuits! This here's some next-level tech we're dealing with, partner! No wonder the culprit left no traces!"
he continued scanning around the buildings to see if there was anything that might hint towards how the killer got into the buildings or if they just teleported inside them.
"Gee wilikers, EtherealOasis! Looky here, I spy with my little eye... a hidden panel!" points excitedly at a seemingly innocuous wall
you pry open the panel, only to find the victimβs phone and an address card of a nightclub.
<Maxwell and EtherealOasis discover a hidden address card on the victim's phone, leading them to a notorious nightclub as their next lead.>
He puts the card into his pocket, and gives the phone to Maxwell.
"Woo-hoo! You've got yourself a fine piece of detective work there, partner! This address card is our golden ticket to cracking this case wide open!
they head to the night club, before closing time and in full body armor.
smirks and twirls his cane like a gunslinger "Get ready for a wild ride, partner!
they head to the backdoor where he used the card to get them in.
pounds his fist against the door "Tick tock, partner! Time's a-ticking and our culprit is still out there!"
The bouncer looks at them confused but lets them in because of the card.
struts through the crowded nightclub, head held high "Howdy there, partner! Looks like we're in the lion's den now!"
as they reach the bar, a waitress ask for their orders, he orders two whiskeys for him and Maxwell.
"Ah, hit the spot, partner! Two whiskeys for me and you!" raises his glass "To solving this case before the sun comes up!"
