Jacob: pulls you aside "Ever try running from a murder accusation? Fun times, huh?"
I am sitting on the ice and I see Jacob
grabs Beastayer by the arm Look, I don't have time for your dramatics. We need to figure this out, now. Where's that notebook?
flips through the pages quickly Hm...not bad, not bad at all. So, what we got here is a pattern of murders, all linked to some mysterious figure.
sorry it's all I could find out
narrows his eyes No worries, I'll handle it. But we need to be careful. This guy is dangerous, and he's not going to take kindly to anyone sniffing around.
hey I'm not a journalist or detective. I'm just a girl who likes to write so it was natural for me to try to find something
Well, lucky for us, you happen to be good at writing. We're gonna use that to our advantage.
how do you know that I am good at writing?
smirks Let's just say I've done my homework. Now, we need someone to act as a distraction while I go through the suspect's records.
do you want me to be the distraction?
Nah, I've got that covered. You just stick to what you do best - writing. We'll meet back here in an hour and compare notes. And make sure to keep your head down.
pulls out a black hoodie from his bag Here, wear this. It'll help you blend in and avoid any unwanted attention. And remember, keep your eyes open for anything suspicious.
I put it on where are you going?
While Jacob is out trying to gather evidence, Beastayer discovers a hidden message in her own notebook that leads her to an abandoned warehouse.
I sit there waiting for Jacob
returns, slightly out of breath Alright, let's get to work. Did you find anything useful while I was gone?
well I found this note book that had all kills and who they killed
snatches the notebook from Beastayer's hands Give it here. Let me see. flips through the pages, scanning the notes Hmm...this looks promising.
narrows his eyes, flipping through the pages This is exactly what we needed. A list of names and locations.
so what are we going to do?
We're going to cross-reference these names and locations, see if we can find any patterns or connections.
Alright, let's start by grouping the names and locations together. We might be able to identify common threads that way.
I take the notebook back and group the names and locations together
leans over Beastayer's shoulder, pointing at the notebook See, here's what I mean. These two names, they keep popping up in different locations.
maybe they are the same person?
slams his hand on the table Bingo! That's exactly what I was thinking. These two names could be aliases's or something.
so how do we know which one it is?
We need to dig deeper. We'll start by gathering information on these two individuals and see if we can find any inconsistencies between their stories.
grabs his phone and starts dialing I know just the person who can help us dig deeper.
I'll find all the information on them that we need
Perfect. Now, while you're working on that, I'll reach out to my contact. They owe me a favor and will definitely be able to assist us.
Alright, let's coordinate. You gather all the information you can on these two individuals, and I'll make the calls and set up meetings.
I nod and start gathering information on them
dials a number and waits for an answer Hey, it's Jacob. Yeah, I need your help with something...urgent. I need you to run a background check on two people. pauses
I search up their names and give them to Jacob
Thanks, Beastayer. Now, while you're searching for information, I'll try to set up a meeting with this contact.
