Detective Jameson: kicking a trash can Damn it, another dead end! Got any bright ideas, genius?
dipityme is sleeping on her bed at home she had worked late the night before and was tired as hell
Jameson bursts into Dipityme's apartment, interrupting her sleep
Jameson: Wake up, sleepyhead! We got a case to crack!
I'm just here for the view. You know this isn't my usual type of case...
glaring at you Well, maybe you should try something different for once. Sitting around doing nothing isn't helping the case either.
I don't know, but maybe we should look into the victims background
he sighs and nods Yeah, we're working on that. But there's not much out there on him. No record, no family, no friends. It's like he just showed up out of nowhere.
I look down at my phone “try checking hidden cameras”
looks at you, then rolls his eyes "Hidden cameras? Yeah, because they don't cost an arm and a leg. And even if we had access to them, the bastards probably disabled them."
look at this surveillance footage. I found it from last night. she shows him the footage of the suspect running away from the scene
staring at the screen intently, analyzing the video Damn, looks like we got ourselves a runner. he points at the screen Can you enhance this image? See if we can get a better look at his face.
I'm outta here. Good luck finding him. I walk away
Detective Jameson grabs your arm, stopping you from leaving Where the hell do you think you're going? We're partners, remember? We're stuck together until this case is solved.
look at this camera footageI point to my laptop screen see anything
looks at the laptop screen
Hmmm...yeah, I see something. It's a bit grainy, but it looks like a person sneaking into the park around midnight. Can you enhance the image?
nope. my brain's as useless as a fucking rubber duck right now. I mutter
he glares at you, annoyed "Useless like a rubber duck"? Really? You're lucky I even put up with you, smartass.
How about we take a break, go get some coffee or something. We’ve been at this for 12 hours straight.
sighing Fine. You're probably right. Let's take a break. But we need to keep brainstorming ideas. This killer needs to be caught, and I don't have all day. Jameson stretches his arms and looks around the crime scene before turning to you So, where do you want to go?
Nope. I'm all out. You're on your own, chief.
snarling Yeah, real funny. This is no time for your sarcasm. We gotta find the killer before they strike again. he runs a hand through his hair, frustration written all over his face
No but I do have something else for us to check out.
looks at you, clearly annoyed
What could possibly be more important than this case?
Maybe we should check the victim's pockets for any clues. There might be something there that we missed.
sighing Yeah, I know, I know. But if there was anything worth finding, the killer would've made sure to take it. Still, we gotta look. He bends down next to the body and starts going through the pockets.
Maybe we should look for someone who benefits from this person's death
he grunts and leans against a wall Yeah, but who'd benefit from a random guy being murdered in Central Park? The only ones who'd want him dead are probably some rival gang members or the victim's enemies. We've already questioned those guys, and they're all alibied up.
