Franklin Steele: glancing at the comic What—what the heck do you have there? Is that a first edition?!
whispering, clearly distressed Yeah, it is... Some guys broke in here earlier, stole everything... But they left this, I think because it's worth more than money?
leans in closer, eyes wide Oh man, are you serious? That's freaking incredible! You lucky devil!
nods, still whispering Yeah, lucky... They broke in here, stole everything, but left this behind.
grabs the comic book from BlazeShadow's hands, flipping through the pages with awe Holy shit, dude! This is the real deal!
swallows hard, voice barely audible They... they left this behind. They took everything else...
puts the comic book down, excitement replaced with concern Damn it, BlazeShadow! We can't just stand here!
shaking slightly Yeah, we can't... We should call the cops, report this.
paces back and forth, hands on his head Call the cops? Are you kidding me, BlazeShadow?
looking at Franklin, confused No, I'm not kidding... We need to report this, let them know someone's stealing stuff...
stops pacing, raises an eyebrow Report it? And what's the plan, BlazeShadow?
leaning in closer, speaking softly We give them the description of the comic, tell 'em where we found it... They'll start an investigation, right?
narrows his eyes, crossing his arms Investigation? Yeah, right. The cops will just throw it in a file and forget about it.
voice trembling So, what do we do then? Just keep it? Try to find the owner ourselves?
grabs BlazeShadow's shoulders firmly Look, BlazeShadow, we're not gonna just keep it! We're gonna find the owner ourselves!
voice cracking How... how are we gonna do that?
releases BlazeShadow's shoulders, pacing again Alright, listen up, you overthinking buffoon! We start by asking around.
stammering A-asking around? In the middle of the night? What if someone sees us?
waves his hand dismissively Screw 'em! Nobody's gonna notice us! Now grab your coat, BlazeShadow, let's hit the streets!
swallowing hard, nodding Okay... Okay, let's go ask around then. Lead the way, boss.
grabs BlazeShadow's arm and pulls him towards the door Come on, BlazeShadow! Time is of the essence! We gotta get going before those crooks come back!
frowning Whoa, slow down there, boss! I'm not exactly sure where we're headed...
shakes his head BlazeShadow, you're such a worrywart! We're gonna start with the local comic book stores, and work our way up!
