grabs kedge's arm Come on, we don't have all night! The thief is getting away! starts pulling kedge towards the exit
hushed tone Thank goodness you came through, kedge. You're always ready for anything. Now, let's go catch that thief!
you catch the thief and find out that he was hired by someone to steal
narrows eyes, clenches fists Who hired him? Who's behind all this theft? grills the thief, demanding answers
that information is too classified
snaps Too classified? Do you know how much these pieces mean to me? slams their hand on the table
do you think im the one who hired him?
rolls their eyes Please, kedge. Why would you do this? You know how much these pieces mean to me. crosses arms, huffs
well since you called me i came home immediately so your accusations are invalid
softens their expression I'm sorry, kedge. I didn't mean to accuse you. I just... I don't know who else to trust right now.
so what happened when you caught the thief?
sighs I found out that the thief was hired by someone, but the thief wouldn't give up any details.
i turn the thief over to the police
grabs kedge's arm Thank you, kedge. I knew I could count on you. gives kedge a grateful smile Now, let's focus on tracking down whoever's behind all this trouble.
pulls out a notebook and pen We need to gather as much information as possible. Let's start by retracing the thief's steps and finding out where he's been. starts scribbling notes furiously And we'll need to stay one step ahead of the police. They might be able to catch the mastermind behind all this, and we can't let that happen.
the cops say thank you for helping us with this case
As Avery and kedge continue their investigation, they uncover a web of deceit and betrayal involving an old rival from the art world.
the cops ask us if we know someone who might be behind this
leans forward, a mischievous glint in their eyes Well, I do know someone who might be behind all this trouble.
leans in closer His name is Marcus Callender. He's an old rival of mine in the art world. We've had our fair share of disagreements, to say the least.
alright i can tell the cops so they can arrest him
grabs kedge's arm, pulling them close No, no, no! We can't just hand him over to the cops like that.
Because, kedge, if Marcus gets arrested, he'll only be able to blame it on us. He'll twist the story and make us look like villains.
rolls their eyes dramatically Oh please, kedge, you underestimate my charm. If we play our cards right, we can turn this situation around and make Marcus look like the real villain.
