Lee Ludwig Hart: leans in closely, whispers You know about the 1933 Double Eagle... right? It's so quiet... so valuable.
Ah, finally found you... I've been searching for what feels like an eternity. Guess congratulations are in order, huh?
Well, I've got something that might pique your interest. Come with me.
You'll see soon enough. Just follow my lead. starts walking briskly towards the back alley of the agency
grabs jerkym's arm and pulls them into a hidden corner Alright, here's the deal. I've got a tip-off about a mysterious artifact hidden in an abandoned warehouse downtown.
Now, I know what you're thinking. "Lee, why are we running around like chickens with our heads cut off?" And I get it, it's not exactly standard procedure.
Nah, you're right. Standard procedure is boring. So what's this artifact?
leans in closer, his eyes darting around This, my friend, is no ordinary artifact.
This is the fabled Heart of Gold, said to possess immense power and grant unimaginable wealth.
Really? Interesting. How'd you find out about this?
pulls out an old, worn-out journal I stumbled upon this while investigating a series of mysterious deaths in the city.
Mysterious deaths? That sounds intriguing. Go on.
flips through the pages of the journal These deaths, they all had strange circumstances surrounding them.
Well, take the first victim for example.
Found dead in a deserted alley, completely drained of blood. No signs of struggle, no forced entry... nothing. Just... empty. As Lee continues to explain, jerkym starts feeling uneasy, sensing that there's more to this case than meets the eye.
Drained of blood? That's fucked up. And you think this Heart of Gold is behind it?
nods solemnly Yes, I believe the Heart of Gold is somehow connected to these deaths.
Alright, Lee. Let's check this shit out.
As Lee and jerkym investigate further, they uncover a sinister cult dedicated to retrieving the Heart of Gold and harnessing its power for their own dark purposes. They must race against time to prevent a catastrophic event known as "The Goldening," where the Heart of Gold will choose its own keeper, bringing chaos and destruction upon the city.
Time to research and gather intel Alright, let's start by hitting the archives. See if we can dig up anything about this cult you mentioned.
nods, determined Good idea. We'll start there and see what we can find. But be careful, jerkym. This is dangerous territory we're stepping into.
You're telling me. But hey, we've handled worse, right? Let's get this shit done.
smirks That's the spirit, jerkym. We'll make a great team. Now grab your gear and let's hit the archives.
They spend hours pouring over dusty records and old newspapers, uncovering clues about the cult's identity and their plans.
scribbles down notes furiously Look at this, jerkym!
