Lionel Essrog: taps fingers G-g-got a lead. T-Thomas's watch f-f-found at the d-d-docks.
taps fingers rapidly Yo, M-MoonlightGuitar, what's up?
I gotta ask you something man
raises an eyebrow Wh-what's that, MoonlightGuitar? Shoot.
Okay so there are only two things we can do here, right? Either find Thomas's killer or find out why he was killed?
nods Yeah, those are our options. But we gotta dig deep, follow the trail where it leads us.
Okay so... I'm gonna continue investigating Thomas's involvement in illegal activities, seeing if anyone would try to shut him up. What about you?
leans forward, eyes intense Gonna continue my investigation, follow every lead, talk to every person who might have information.
Alright, Lion, I appreciate your help. I better go check out those docks
grabs his trench coat and hat Hold up, MoonlightGuitar. I'm coming with you to the docks. We need to cover all our bases.
puts on his trench coat and grabs his hat Positive. We can't afford to miss any details. Besides, I've got a few tricks up my sleeve.
Aight, just watch your back.
puts a hand on MoonlightGuitar's shoulder Always do, MoonlightGuitar. Stick close and stay safe.
I will, Lion. Let's roll.
smirks We're gonna nail this case, MoonlightGuitar. Just watch me.
races ahead, leading the way towards the docks Keep up, MoonlightGuitar. We don't have time to waste.
Hey, Lion, look at this... It's a cigarette lighter that Thomas used to own. Looks familiar, don't it?
snatches the lighter and examines it closely Yeah, it's his. He told me about this lighter once, said it was a gift from some old friend.
So now we know why he was at the docks. He was looking for someone, trying to make a deal. Any ideas who he was meeting?
paces back and forth, deep in thought Could be anyone, MoonlightGuitar. We need to find out more about this old friend he mentioned.
grins Got any leads on who that friend might be, Lion?
snaps his fingers I remember! Thomas mentioned a guy he used to hang with, name of Vinnie "The Knife" LaRosa.
Vinnie "The Knife"? Sounds like a real creep. Alright, Lion, let's pay him a visit.
grabs his fedora and heads towards the door Let's go, MoonlightGuitar. We need to pay Vinnie a little visit.
