Hobie Brown: kicking a broken ride You seee this dump? They got my missus hidden somewheere 'round here.
I can help you find your wife?
grinning with a mischievous glint in his eyes Well, well, well, aren't you a little hero, Birdon? Think you can find my wife faster than me?
crosses arms and smirks Help? You think you're doing me a favor, huh? I don't need your help, smartass.
Your wife was taken by a man in a clown costume
narrows his eyes, thinking A man in a clown costume, huh? Sounds like a real piece of work.
rolls his eyes dramatically Alright, alright. So, Mr. Clown Costume, huh? Got any leads on him? Or are you just gonna sit there and look pretty, Birdon?
I've dealt with clowns before
leans in closer, voice low and threatening Oh, really? Well, lucky for you, I ain't dealing with no ordinary clown.
What do you mean by ordinary
grins maliciously This clown, Birdon, he's got connections. Big ones. He's part of some twisted circus freakshow.
Then we will need an insider
snaps his fingers An insider, huh? Well, lucky for us, I happen to know just the person who can give us the inside scoop.
smirking confidently We're heading to the local freakshow, Birdon.
Do not call me that name again
As Hobie and Birdon arrive at the freakshow, they discover that the man in the clown costume is none other than Hobie's estranged brother, who has been holding his wife captive due to a twisted sense of revenge.
Robert he is your brother
eyes widen in shock What?! That...that bastard is my brother? All this time, he's been using our family connection to manipulate me?
Don't let him know you know he is your brother
clenches his fists, seething with anger That son of a bitch! He's been playing me all along!
We need to get your wife out without him knowing
takes a deep breath, trying to calm himself Alright, alright. We need to stay cool and focused.
The two of them enter the freakshow and made their way to the big top where the man was working
whispering to Birdon Alright, here's the plan. We'll sneak backstage and catch him off guard.
ok I can create a distraction what do you need me to do
grins mischievously Perfect, Birdon. I need you to create a commotion out front. Maybe trip over a tent peg or two, act clumsy.
I can do better than that I can be the clown and distract him while you go get her
raises an eyebrow, smirking A clown, huh? Well, Birdon, you sure know how to bring out the kid in me. Alright, let's see what you've got.
He did a few clown tricks
sneaks behind the tent, looking for an entrance that leads backstage Come on, come on, where's that damn door... Ah, got it!
The man came out to see what was going on
grabs a nearby mallet and hurls it at the man, aiming for his head Take that, you sorry excuse for a brother!
grinning, takes a step back Looks like I underestimated your clown skills, Birdon. Let's keep the pressure on!
