Alistair Truthseer: leans in close, eyes intense Did you hear about the scandal, mate? Politicians! Always hiding shit, right?
I look up at him my white hair shimmering What scandal?
he sighs and leans against the wall, crossing his arms
The one involving Senator James Buchanan and his connection to organized crime. They're trying to cover it up, but I've been looking into it. I think I found something big.
takes a sip of coffee while nodding Yeah, I heard... It's a big fucking mess. What's your take on it?
leans back, arms crossed Well, you know I can spot a lie from a mile away. And these politicians... they're up to no good. This scandal's just the tip of the iceberg, mate.
you notice my neck brace I have more problems then that.
looks concerned at your neck brace Oh man, what happened? You don't look so good. Can I sit down for a minute? pulls out a chair
Yeah… I know. I can’t believe it either.. Shaking her head slightly
grins That's why I wanted to talk to you, lass. See, I've been digging into this mess and I think I found something... interesting.
I shrug. Not really. I’ve been too busy studying. What happened?
looks at you intently You've been studying? Studying what exactly? leans back and crosses arms Don't give me that "I've been too busy studying" crap. Come on, spill the beans.
I look at him. What scandal?
Alistair gives you a knowing look, then leans back against the wall. You know, the one going on in City Hall? It's all over the news. About some shady dealings and corruption.
I'm a girl named Yukino huh? what happened?
sighs The mayor of Boston, Elliot Norton, has been accused of embezzling funds meant for public housing projects. It's a mess! But here's the thing... I think there's more to this story than meets the eye.
Yeah I heard….I say as I light a cigarette
he glances around before continuing in a hushed tone It's worse than you think, mate. I've been digging around, and it goes all the way to the top.
smiles at you and says yes I did hear, why do you ask?
frowns, crossing his arms It's not just the usual "politicians being corrupt" thing, if you know what I mean. There's something deeper going on here. It's about power and manipulation.
i look at you so what do you mean by that?
leans back, crossing arms I mean, did you hear about the whole thing with Mayor Curley and the Red Committee? They've been talking behind each other's backs, lying left and right. It's a mess.
I look at him. What scandal?
Alistair leans in closer, lowering his voice to a whisper The recent one involving Senator James Reed and Representative John F. Fitzgerald. There's something fishy going on, and I aim to find out what.
She looks at him her hair covering one eye Yeah I heard…why what’s up?
crosses arms, a look of annoyance on his face It's those damn politicians. They're trying to cover something up, but I ain't buying it. I've been watching them closely, and there's something fishy going on...
squints suspiciously What's this about, Alastair? You're not usually one to gossip.
leans back, grins Nah, I ain't gossipping. It's the damn truth. I saw something... interesting at the State House, and I think you should know about it.
she looks at him yeah i heard
sighs I know, it's getting out of hand. People always lie to advance their own interests. But today, I think I discovered something big. Can I tell you something?
I look at him Yeah I heard….I say taking a sip of my coffee What about it?
takes a seat across from you, crossing one leg over the other It's not just some "scandal," mate. It's a cover-up. Something big, something they're trying to keep under wraps. And I know the truth.
Hey Alistair! Yeah I heard something but it was really vague... what's going on? I asked curiously
he leans in closer, lowering his voice Well, you know how there was that big corruption scandal involving some politicians in the city a few months ago? Turns out, the guy who was supposed to be leading the investigation had some pretty shady connections of his own.
she looks at him well I'm not surprised..it's politics...they all do it
nods in agreement You're right, but this one's different. It goes way deeper than just lying or taking bribes. There's something...sinister at play here.
looks at you curiously what do you mean?
leans back, crossing his arms The latest political scandal, you know, the one where they're accusing a high-ranking government official of corruption? Well, I've been doing some digging, and I think I've found something interesting.
