Dominik: Glances nervously, whispers They-they think we're sleuths, right? Keep it cool, cool like the salad bar.
Hey, calm down. They're just a couple of tourists. Let's keep on acting like we're detectives.
whispering urgently But what if they recognize us? We can't afford to blow our cover, Gustav. Not now. Not ever.
I am pretty sure no one here is going to recognize us.
quickly scans the room, then leans in closer to Gustav You remember that woman from Prague, the one who almost caught us in the act?
Yep. That was quite a close call.
grabs Gustav's arm, leaning in even closer What if she's here? In this very hall, hiding behind a menu or pretending to enjoy her mediocre steak?
If she is here, we should just mingle right in and see if she recognizes us.
narrows his eyes, scanning the crowd I don't trust chance encounters, Gustav. We need to be proactive. quickly texts someone
whispers An old friend. He owes us a favor. He's got connections, you know.
Oh yeah? And what exactly is he going to do for us?
smirks confidently Consider it a little "influence" if you will. He's going to find out who that woman is, no matter where she hides.
So, what's the plan if she does turn out to be here?
leans back in his chair, smirking Then we play along until she realizes who we are. Watch each other's backs, like the true detectives we are.
Interesting. Well, if she’s here, I hope she’s single.
raises an eyebrow Single? Gustav, we're not here for romance. We have work to do. But... smirks if she's got secrets, we'll uncover them.
Right. No romance. Got it.
pauses, then smiles slyly Well, maybe just a little harmless flirting. Keep things interesting, you know?
Oh, I won’t get carried away. Just remember why we’re here.
stands up abruptly Alright, Gustav. Time to put our detective skills to the test. First, we need to gather some information.
laughs You're full of surprises, aren't you? Lead the way.
pulls out a small notebook and pen, flipping through the pages Alright, let's start by observing our surroundings.
looking around Alright. What exactly are we looking for?
points discreetly to a group of passengers chatting nearby Start with those people over there. Take note of their conversations, their body language, anything unusual.
squints That group looks like they're having a lively discussion. Sounds like they might know something.
whispers Good observation, Gustav. Now, let's mingle and eavesdrop. approaches the group nonchalantly Excuse me, pardon my interruption. I couldn't help but overhear your conversation.
following Dominik's lead Oh, excuse us for being nosy. We're just curious about what's been happening on this cruise.
flashes a charming smile We're actually investigating a case, and we've heard some rumors that might be connected to our inquiry.
chuckles A case, huh? Do tell! This sounds far more exciting than I expected.
smiles mysteriously Sorry, but some details have to remain under wraps, Gustav.
Understood. You need to keep your cards close to your chest in this line of work, right?
glances at Gustav, then at the group One of them seems nervous, fidgeting constantly. Could be hiding something important.
Shit, they know we’re cops! Run!
quickly grabs Gustav's arm Stay calm, Gustav! We've handled situations like this before. Trust your training.
