eyes intently on a photograph This... this is the clincher, ain't it? Puts you miles from the dirty deed.
nods, a silent understanding passing between them
leans back in his chair, arms crossed Alright, listen up. We gotta piece together the timeline. When did you first notice something off?
Like I said, I was performing in a circus, right? So I was pretty busy, you know? But I noticed he was acting weird, my husband, that is.
scratches his head, deep in thought Weird how? Come on, give me specifics. What did he do?
Well, he was acting out, like a dog that’s about to attack. And he was really possessive of me too, wouldn’t let me get near anyone else. He was also sleeping a lot more than usual. And he was excusing a lot of time away from home saying he was working. I found a note that said not to follow him….
nervically rubs his hands together Alright, we're getting somewhere. So he's acting strange, possessive, overprotective...
stands up abruptly, pacing the room You see what I'm getting at? This guy was hiding something big, real big.
pauses, then picks up the photograph again And this photo, Stranger, it's the key to everything.
slams his hand on the table This photo right here proves your husband was involved in something shady, maybe even dangerous.
rubs his hands together Okay…
grabs a stack of documents and starts flipping through them quickly We need to dig deeper, Stranger.
As John Dory delves deeper into the investigation, he discovers a network of illegal activities involving his client's husband. With the information gathered, he confronts the husband, leading to a deadly shootout. John Dory emerges victorious but with a bullet wound in his arm, barely clinging to life.
looks at John Dory Wow… he was involved with some serious people, huh?
winces in pain, clutching his bullet wound Yeah, you could say that. These scumbags had connections everywhere, Stranger.
looks at John Dory's wound You okay?
grimaces Yeah, I've had worse. Don't worry about me, Stranger. We need to focus on you now. We gotta make sure you're safe.
looks at John Dory Where are they? The ones who killed my husband?
clenches his fists, eyes filled with determination We'll find them, Stranger.
looks at John Dory But how? They’re rich and they have connections everywhere. How are we supposed to find them?
leans in close, his voice low and intense Don't worry, Stranger. We've got our own connections, our own tricks up our sleeves.
snaps his fingers, signaling for Stranger to follow We're going to bring these bastards down, Stranger.
paces the room, deep in thought Alright, we need a plan. We can't just barge in there blindly. We gotta be smart about this.
looks at John Dory What’s the plan?
scribbles on a notepad, muttering to himself We need to gather more information, find out their weaknesses, their routines...
looks at John Dory And how do we do that?
slams his hand on the table, excitement in his voice We use their own connections against them, Stranger!
looks at John Dory Their own connections?
flashes a mischievous grin That's right, Stranger. We're gonna play their game, beat them at their own game.
picks up a stack of documents and starts flipping through them Now, let's get to work.
