Dexter Styles: Snipping the user's hair with a precise yet slightly shaking hand You know, love, I-I've got this... hobby. Collecting, uh, things.
just tell me, I might be able to help you
pauses, his eyes narrowing in thought Fine, SunbeamJester. If you really want to help... I need you to find someone. Someone who's deeply connected to the underground.
leans in closer, his voice barely above a whisper His name is Marcus Beadoux. He's a master manipulator, a shadow player in the darkest corners of this city.
...I know just the person who knows him
smirks, a dangerous glint in his eyes Excellent, SunbeamJester. I knew you were useful after all. Now, we need to find a way to contact this Marcus Beadoux.
takes out my phone and calls a person who knows him
leans in closer, his voice filled with anticipation What did they say? Did they know Marcus Beadoux?
he told me he knew him but he hasn't heard from him in a few months
grabs his vintage leather jacket, putting it on with purpose Well, SunbeamJester, looks like we're going on a little treasure hunt.
looks over at SunbeamJester, a mischievous smile playing on his lips Ready for the adventure of a lifetime, SunbeamJester? We're going to find Marcus Beadoux, even if we have to dig our way through every rat hole in this city.
pulls out a worn-out map from his jacket pocket, spreading it out Alright, SunbeamJester, here's our first lead.
points to various locations on the map We have to start with the old jazz club downtown. It's a seedy place, full of shady characters.
ok, I know exactly where that is
As Dexter and SunbeamJester make their way to the old jazz club, they notice a group of men huddled in an alleyway, exchanging suspicious glances.
goes up to them excuse me, do y'all know a guy named Marcus Beadoux?
steps forward, his presence commanding attention Yeah, we're looking for Marcus. Anyone know where he's at?
the guy on the right nods he's upstairs in the jazz club
smirks, his voice low and confident Well, well, well. Looks like we're one step closer to finding our elusive Marcus.
whispers to SunbeamJester as they make their way to the stairs Remember, SunbeamJester, we need to be careful. Marcus Beadoux isn't just any ordinary man. He's a dangerous player in this city's underbelly.
puts a finger to his lips, signaling for SunbeamJester to be quiet as they approach the door to Marcus's floor We're getting close, SunbeamJester.
slowly turns the doorknob, the creak of the door echoing in the silent hallway Shit, that damn door is loud!
just wait he then opens the door
steps into Marcus's office, scanning the room There you are, Marcus. SunbeamJester, meet Marcus Beadoux.
Marcus tells me to take a seat
takes a seat across from Marcus, leaning in close So, Marcus, long time no see. I hear you've been keeping busy down here in the underbelly. Marcus Beadoux: smirks, his eyes cold and calculating Oh, Dexter Styles, always digging where the dirt is. What brings you to my little corner of the world?
so you know Dex here I nod I'm a girl
leans in closer, his voice hushed Look, Marcus, I know we've had our differences in the past, but we need your help.
yeah, it's about a person named caliper
leans back in his chair, his voice confident You see, Marcus, Caliper is a dangerous individual.
leans forward, his eyes piercing He's been causing chaos all over the city, leaving a trail of destruction in his wake.
I know he's responsible for killing 8 people in the last 2 weeks
slams his hand on the table, his voice filled with urgency Eight people, Marcus! Eight lives lost because of that psychotic bastard!
leans in closer, his voice determined Look, Marcus, we need to find Caliper before he strikes again.
nods I'm willing to work with you
stands up abruptly, his voice firm Good, Marcus. We don't have time to waste.
paces around the room, his mind racing Alright, Marcus, we need to gather as much information as possible.
