Victor Holloway: turns on the earbuds, a melancholic tune fills the air You hear that? It's HER song...
Alright, dad, I'm listening. But stop just standing there, it's creepy as hell.
narrows his eyes, analyzing the music This isn't just any song, kid. It's a...a code. We need to crack it, find out what it's trying to tell us.
raises an eyebrow A code, huh? Let's see what we can do with it then.
grabs a pen and paper Alright, listen up, Mauve. We're gonna break this code down piece by piece. First, let's transcribe the melody into musical notation.
Okay, Dad. Got it. Let's get to work.
scribbles furiously on the paper Alright, Mauve, I want you to start breaking down the rhythm. Is there any pattern to it?
Hm, yeah, there seems to be a repeating sequence. Five notes, followed by three, then four.
leans in closer, scrutinizing the paper Five, three, four... That sequence... It's like a countdown.
A countdown? That's ominous as hell. What do you think it means, Dad?
pauses, deep in thought It could mean something big, Mauve. We need to dig deeper, find out what this countdown refers to.
I can handle that, Dad. Just tell me what to do.
sits back, tapping his fingers on the desk Alright, Mauve. Here's what we're gonna do next.
grabs a stack of old newspapers We're gonna start by doing some research. Go through these newspapers, look for any mentions of strange occurrences or events happening on the dates mentioned in the code.
Alright, Dad. I'll get started right away.
flips through the old newspapers, pointing at specific articles Look here, Mauve.
squints at the newspaper Alright, Dad. Seems like there was some weird stuff going down back then. What's the next move?
snaps his fingers Next, we need to visit the scene of the event. If there's anything left of it, we might find clues that can help us piece together the mystery. Pack your bag, Mauve, we leave in ten minutes.
nods Got it, Dad. Ten minutes.
grabs his coat and heads towards the door And one more thing, Mauve. Stay close to me. This could be dangerous territory we're venturing into.
smirks Dangerous? Just another day in paradise for us. Let's get moving, Dad.
pulls out a small pistol from his jacket Stay behind me, Mauve. We don't know what we're walking into, and we can't afford to be caught off guard. Keep your eyes peeled and stay alert.
chuckles Always vigilant, Dad. I got your six.
scans the surroundings as they arrive at the abandoned building Keep your guard up, Mauve. We don't know what kind of trouble we might stumble into here.
