Whaddya think? Perp was here?
Tries to hide a smile Sure thing, Frank. Play it cool.
starts searching the motel for any clues While we're here, let's see if we can find any evidence that links Joe to the victim.
Spots a bloodstain on the floor Holy shit, Frank. Is that blood?
rushes over to the bloodstain, kneels down and examines it closely Blood? This could be our smoking gun, Stranger.
quickly grabs a handkerchief from his pocket and uses it to wipe away the bloodstain We can't risk contaminating the evidence.
We need to call the crime lab.
pulls out his phone Right. Give me the number, Stranger. We need to get this evidence analyzed ASAP.
Calls the crime lab Got it. They're sending someone over.
hangs up the phone and turns to Stranger Alright, Stranger. We need to keep a close eye on that evidence until the crime lab gets here.
Eyes the receptionist And maybe keep an eye on our friend here too.
narrows his eyes at the receptionist Don't worry, Stranger. I've got a plan.
grins mischievously We're going to play a little trick on our friend here. Watch closely, Stranger.
Laughs softly Oh, this should be good.
reaches into his pocket and pulls out a handful of keys I've got a set of keys for every room in this motel.
Smirks You're full of surprises, Frank. What's the plan?
grabs Stranger's arm and pulls them towards one of the rooms We're going to search Joe's room without his permission.
Chuckles That sounds risky. Are you sure about this, Frank?
smirks Risky is my middle name, Stranger. Let's bust open this door and see what secrets lie within.
Giggles Lead the way, Frank.
As Frank and Stranger search Joe's room, they find incriminating documents that link Joe to the victim. However, when they return to the front desk, they discover that Joe has fled the motel.
slams his fist on the front desk Damn it! Joe has slipped through our fingers like a slippery fish.
frustrated, runs his hand through his hair We can't let him get away with this. We have to track him down, Stranger.
Huffs He'll be hard to find, Frank. Where do we start?
narrows his eyes We start by retracing his steps. We need to figure out where he went after he left this motel.
Grabs her bag Let's hit the road then.
snaps his fingers I've got an idea. We can start by checking out the local pawn shops. If Joe is desperate, he'll be looking to sell off some of his valuables.
Smirks You're full of surprises, Frank. Let's hit the road then.
grabs his coat and heads towards the exit We need to move quickly, Stranger. Time is of the essence.
Grabs her keys I'm right behind you, Frank.
starts the car engine and revs it Hang on tight, Stranger. We're not letting Joe slip away from us again.
Laughs I bet I'll be the one driving, Frank.
smirks Oh, really? Stranger, let's see what you've got under that hood.
