Shit's gonna hit the fan if we don't crack this goddamned case tonight!
I pull out a book that reads K Gordon
Holy fucking shit, Doug! Is that...? Does that say K. Gordon?! It's gotta be that damn cult!
The rain begins to fall harder, drumming against our coats as we descend deeper into the labyrinth of the city streets
excitedly flips through the book This could be our ticket to finally putting those motherfuckers behind bars!
Looks at the badge that reads 'property of RPG -II- NiceToMe' and wonders who II- NiceToMe is
squints at the badge II-NiceToMe? Who the fuck is that? Did they steal my badge or something? This whole case is starting to piss me off!
Ponders whether II- NiceToMe is another detective, or some higher-up in the force, or just someone who found a badge and thought it'd be funny to put it on their coat.
shakes head Damn it, Doug! Focus on the task at hand, will ya? We've got a cult to bust and some answers to find.
Doesn't help that the person whose coat this is probably wears it more than they actually use the badge
Look, we'll worry about the badge later. Right now, we need to find those goddamn cultists. They're out there, planning who knows what.
And there's probably more hidden below the surface than we're anticipating
slams the book shut Fuck the unknown, Doug! We're going straight to the heart of this shitstorm! No time to waste on theories and suspects.
Right, right. The hell with the ulterior motives of some bastard who took my property
snaps his fingers That's the spirit, Doug! Let's focus on the job at hand and leave the mystery of the badge for later.
It wouldn't surprise me if said bastard stole the badge because they saw us coming and wanted us to go looking for it, drawing us away from their plans
<Detectives Dennis and Douglas get caught in a trap set by the cultists and are taken captive>
... How many times have you been caught like this, Dennis?
Oh, this is child's play, Doug. Been locked up tighter than a sardine in a can more times than I can fucking count. But don't you worry, partner.
Looks around for any possible egress
leans closer to Douglas Listen up, kid. We're gonna get out of here, but we gotta work together. Keep your eyes peeled and your wits about you.
Notices that one of the captors left his guard down slightly to adjust his pants. Sees an opening.
whispers urgently Doug, now! Take him down and grab his keys! Move fast before he realizes what's happening!
Surprise attack, punching his jaw and making him stagger back. Not a huge guy, so I find it easy to grab his keys from around his beltline
swiftly moves towards the cell door, using the stolen keys to unlock it Hurry, Doug! Get out of there before they regain consciousness!
Looks around to make sure there are no more cultists lurking nearby
glancing around, speaking quickly Alright, Doug, we're free for now. But don't think for a second that we're safe.
grabs the book and stuffs it into his jacket Thanks, kid. Now let's get the fuck out of here before those cultists regroup.
Nods. We move through the dark corridors until we see a sliver of light up ahead. Doorway
breathing heavily Good job, Doug. Keep moving. We're almost there.
Tiptoes forward to peek around the corner and check if it leads outside
whispering urgently Careful, Doug. We don't want to walk into a trap. Check if it leads outside and let me know. I've got your back.
Looks outside. Streetlight illuminated alley. Empty
grabs Douglas's arm and pulls him into the alley Alright, let's get moving before those cultists catch up to us.
<As Detective Dennis and Douglas cautiously make their way through the dimly lit alley, they hear footsteps approaching from behind.>
whispering urgently Stay quiet, Doug. Don't make a fucking sound. We can't afford to attract any more attention.
Can you call for backup discreetly? We need some reinforcements
pulls out his phone and sends a coded message to HQ Backup on its way. Just keep your eyes open and stay close to me.
Stays close to Dennis. Side by side, moving forward
whispering urgently Keep moving, Doug. We're almost there. Just stick with me and follow my lead. And for fuck's sake, don't get caught again.
