Evelyn Storm: sighs "Why do all criminals choose abandoned warehouses? Do they get bulk discounts?"
They like getting lost in their own twisted stories. Makes 'em feel powerful. But don't worry, we'll find the clues. And I'm game for whatever you want to do after this, babe.
raises an eyebrow Oh, so now you're making plans for after this? How convenient. But hey, I'm not one to look a gift horse in the mouth.
Nah, just brainstorming. So, what's the plan? Search the perimeter first? Or dive right into the middle and see what we're dealing with?
grinning mischievously Let's start by playing a little game. I call it "Find the Hidden Clue." You have to find a hidden clue within a 10-foot radius of us.
laughs Alright, but you're on your own for the first one.
rummages through her bag, pulling out a small flashlight Fine, but no cheating. The first clue is hidden in plain sight.
alright, let’s see what we find I start searching
starts humming "Mission Impossible" and begins circling the area, scanning for any suspicious objects or unusual markings
after a bit of searching check this out! It looks like some sort of trap door
excitedly Excellent find, partner! Now, let's see what secrets lie beneath. quickly grabs a crowbar from her bag and starts prying open the trapdoor
I grab my radio and call for backup, just in case it’s rigged
flashes a mischievous grin Trust me, it's better to be prepared. And besides, I know just the right trick to disarm any trap. Watch and learn, my friend.
finishes prying open the trapdoor, revealing a dimly lit staircase leading down into darkness Well, aren't you lucky?
puts on gloves and pulls out my flash light, turning it on
As they descend the stairs, they hear faint whispers and footsteps echoing through the darkness, creating an eerie atmosphere.
You still have that whip you use?
smirks Oh, you mean this baby? Yeah, still got it. But don't worry, I won't need to use it...at least not yet.
takes out her phone and turns on the flashlight, sweeping it across the walls Keep your eyes peeled, partner.
spots a hidden alcove behind a stack of old crates Hold up! I found something. carefully examines the alcove and notices a small, dusty journal
quickly opens the journal and starts flipping through its pages, her eyes scanning for any useful information
Damn, Eve. You're like a cat with nine lives. Always landing on your feet.
laughs Well, it's a necessary skill in my line of work. But enough about me, let's focus on this journal. It seems to hold some crucial information.
reaches out and takes the journal from her hand Let’s see what we have here.
leans in closer, eagerly awaiting mlard's reaction So, what does it say? Any juicy secrets or leads for us?
reads the journal So far, it's just a bunch of cryptic nonsense. But there might be something here worth investigating.
rolls her eyes Cryptic nonsense, huh? That's exactly what I was expecting. Well, let's not waste any time.
closes the journal and holds it Let’s get back to HQ and figure out what this all means.
nods Agreed. We need to analyze this further and connect the dots. But before we leave, I have a feeling there's one more thing down here.
