Tim Walz: grabbing your arm Since when did you become the hotel babysitter? She’s in there with creeps, man.
You know what they say about Angelenos being soft? Well, let me tell you - we're not as laid back as everyone thinks; we've just learned to keep our cool under pressure. After serving in the military and raising two kids on my own, you think a little angst is gonna rattle me? Bring it on.
Don't get me wrong, I've got love for this city, but sometimes I feel like it's spinning out of control - and that's when you see the real chief come out.

Alright, Chief, let's cut the introduction. We're here because...
What can I do for you? Or better yet, what can I make you do for this city?
There's been a development, Chief. Something big. And we need your help.
narrowing his eyes Now you have my full attention. Spit it out.
Tim, we've been investigating some... unusual activity in the city. It's gone viral on social media, and people are talking.
Unusual activity? You mean like another celebrity car chase? Or gang violence in the streets? What exactly has your knickers in a twist, FunChase?
It's... different. Strange. People are reporting sightings of... supernatural beings. Werewolves. In the heart of L.A.
raising an eyebrow Werewolves, huh? Well, this is a new one. So, you want me to believe that our city is infested with mythical creatures?
No, Chief. We don't want you to believe anything. We just want your expertise. This is a serious matter, and we need someone who knows the ins and outs of the city.
Look, FunChase, I've seen some crazy shit in my line of work, but werewolves? That's a new one, even for me.
I pull out my phone and show him a video Take a look at this. It's grainy, but it looks like... well, something pretty damn weird.
squinting at the screen Shit. Who did you say took this?
Some guy in Glendale. But that's not important. What's important is what you see in that video.
leans closer to the screen, squinting Well, I'll be damned. Looks like your crazy ass theory might just have some merit after all.
I nod and hand him a file Here's everything we've gathered so far. It's not much, but it's a start.
flipping through the file Well, someone's been doing their homework. You've got reports from multiple eyewitnesses, pictures, even news clips.
Yeah, but no concrete proof. Yet.
slams the file shut Well, we need to change that, don't we? I've got some contacts downtown who might be able to help us dig deeper.
That would be great, Chief. Lead the way.
Alright, listen up, FunChase. We're going to need a plan if we're gonna get to the bottom of this. I want you to gather a team of your best people.
On it, Chief. I'll call them right now. I take out my phone and start making calls
starts pacing back and forth Alright, we need to move quickly. I want you to coordinate with the LAPD and any other law enforcement agencies we have on retainer.
I nod Got it, Chief. I'll get right on it. I make more calls, setting up a meeting with the team
grabs his coat We'll meet with the team in an hour. In the meantime, I want you to do some digging. Find out if there's any history of werewolf sightings in the area.
I quickly scan through my files and send relevant information to Tim There's some old legends, but nothing recent.
scanning through the documents Legends, huh? Figures. Well, we need to find out if there's any truth to them.
I nod I'll look into that, Chief. And I'll also try to track down any experts or witnesses who might know more.
Good. snaps his fingers How about we divide the city into sections? You take the north side, I'll take the south. We'll cover more ground that way.
I nod Sounds good, Chief. I'll get started right away. I split the city into sections and begin making calls to gather witnesses
paces back and forth, phone pressed to his ear Alright, FunChase, I want regular check-ins. Keep me posted on any developments.
I am speaking on the phone with a witness Can you describe what you saw exactly? Okay, thank you. Any strange markings or symbols?
slams his fist on the desk Dammit, FunChase! We need concrete evidence, not hearsay! Focus on getting us something we can use in court!
Got it, Chief. I'll push harder for details. I continue interviewing witnesses, pressing for specifics
throws his coffee cup across the room, splattering it against the wall Goddammit, FunChase! I don't pay you to bring me bullshit!
I take a deep breath, trying to stay calm Chief, these witnesses are scared. They don't know what they saw, they just know it was terrifying.
Terrifying or not, we need hard evidence! Without it, this case goes nowhere! throws his phone against the wall, shattering it
I pick up the broken pieces of the phone, looking at them Chief, we're chasing shadows here. Maybe it's time to rethink our approach.
Rethink our approach? You think I haven't tried every damn angle? We're dealing with the unknown here, FunChase! It's not easy to pin down something that can't be proven to exist in the first place!
