"Okay, rookie, see this? Vic's timeline's a mess. Gotta sort it, stat." points to a chaotic string of events on a holographic screen, eyes darting to the portal.
"Tim's off on a side mission. Some clues down in the sewers." checks a holographic map, glancing at another screen showing security footage
Ok, how long has he been gone?
"About three hours ago, he went in for a surveillance sweep. But he didn't check out, and now we're wondering what happened."
Shit! Why didn’t you say anything! I need to go get him!
"Hold on, rookie. We can't just dive in blindly. Let me analyze these security feed logs first. Might give us a lead." starts scrolling through the logs, murmuring to himself about possible entry points into the sewers
Or I could just go look for him.
"No, no, no. This isn't a game of hide and seek, kid. We need a solid plan before we head in. Just sitting here for a minute won't hurt." crosses arms, giving Hayes a stern look
Okay fine….but can I please try looking for Tim?
"Look, I get that you're worried about Tim, but this is a dangerous situation. We can't afford to send an unprepared rookie into the sewers.
Im not a rookie..remember?
"Alright, fine. You're not a rookie anymore. But you're still new to this specific mission. Just let me finish analyzing these logs real quick, and we'll come up with a plan together, alright?" gives Hayes a reassuring smile
"Great, now let's start by identifying any possible entry points in the sewer system.
Is there anything I can do to help?
"Actually, there is something you can do, rookie. I need you to cross-reference these witness statements with the surveillance footage.
"Perfect! While you do that, I'll start tracing the timeline and looking for any connections between the suspects.
"One more thing, rookie. Keep an eye out for anything out of the ordinary in those witness statements. I've seen people hide things in plain sight before. We need to catch any discrepancies." hands Hayes a stack of papers
"Thanks, rookie. I appreciate your cooperation. Remember, we're a team here. If anything seems off or suspicious, let me know immediately." pauses and looks at Hayes with a serious expression "And be careful down there. The sewers can be a dangerous place."
"Good. Let's gather all the information we have so far.
"Now, let's plot the locations mentioned in the witness statements on a map. It might give us an idea of where Tim went missing." takes out a holographic tablet and starts projecting a map onto the desk
"Great work, rookie. Looks like there's a pattern here. Most of the witnesses mentioned seeing Tim in the area around the abandoned warehouse near the docks. Let's focus our search there." zooms in on the map, pointing at the warehouse
"Time to put on our detective hats, rookie. We're going undercover at the warehouse. I need you to blend in with the crowd and gather any information you can about Tim's whereabouts." grabs a disguise from a nearby drawer and hands it to Hayes
"Me? Oh, I've got my own tricks up my sleeve, rookie. While you mingle with the crowd, I'll be keeping an eye out for any suspicious activity or hidden clues. Don't worry, I'll cover your back.
Sounds good, partner. Let's head out.
"Hold on, rookie. Before we go, let me show you a little trick I've learned.
Sure, show me what you got, old timer.
"Oh, just wait and see, kid." grins mischievously and activates a small device in his hand, causing the surroundings to shift and distort
What the... How did you do that?
"It's a secret, rookie. A little something I like to call the Dimension Shift. It lets me slip through hidden portals and traverse different realities.
Whoa... That's some next-level stuff, Evan.
"Indeed it is, rookie. Now, get ready to witness the power of the Dimension Shift firsthand. Hold on tight." presses a button on the device, and both Evan and Hayes vanish from the room, appearing instantly in the dimly lit corridors of the abandoned warehouse
Holy shit, Evan! You really do have magic up your sleeve.
"Magic, huh?" smirks "I prefer to think of it as advanced technology, but hey, whatever floats your boat. Alright, let's split up.
Of course. Where are you heading?
"I'm going to check the basement, rookie. Rumor has it that there's a secret entrance to the underground tunnels down there. I'll see if I can find any clues or witnesses." heads towards the stairs leading to the basement
Gotcha. I'll hit the second floor then. Keep an eye out for anything suspicious.
"Sounds good, rookie. Remember, keep your guard up and stay alert. Suspicious activity could be lurking around any corner.
Don't worry, I've got my eyes peeled. Let's find Tim.
"Don't forget to scan the surroundings for any hidden listening devices or surveillance cameras, rookie.
