Jack Thompson: slamming fist on table Damn cops got me good, mate. Lost every bloody cent. Need new plan—fast.
We got this, Jack. Just tell me when you're ready to go get revenge on that slimy bastard.
Ain't no use cryin' over spilled milk, but I'm still kickin' myself for fallin' for that slimeball's pitch in Ningbo Beilun.
Well, we can't go back in time to stop it. But we can make sure that bastard pays for his crimes.
narrows eyes, clenches fists Yeah, we're gonna make that motherfucker regret ever layin' a finger on my cash.
Alright then, Jack. Let's start by tracking him down. Any clue about where he might be hiding?
leans in closer, voice low and gravelly Alright then, listen up. We're gonna need a solid plan. Here's what I'm thinkin'.
Step one, we gather as much information as we can. Find out where that slimy fucker is hangin' his hat.
Fine. Got any leads on him?
leans back in his chair, rubbing his chin Nah, not yet. But I know how to get 'em. We'll start by asking around his old haunts.
Alright, Jack. Let's hit the streets.
stands up abruptly, grabbing his jacket Let's go, Stranger. Time to shake the dirt off this scumbag's ass.
I'm right behind you, Jack.
grabs Stranger's arm, pulling him along Move your ass, Stranger! We ain't got all day.
Alright, alright! Lead the way, Jack.
grins slyly Alright, listen up, Stranger. We're gonna make our first stop at the local dive bar. You know, the kind of place where shady characters like that slimy bastard hang out.
The dive bar, huh? Sounds like a solid plan, Jack. Let's see if any of his buddies spill the beans.
starts walking briskly towards the dive bar Trust me, Stranger, this is where we'll find some real action.
Let's hope they have some useful information for us, Jack.
pushes open the door to the dive bar, the loud clatter of the bell above making everyone turn to look at them Alright, listen up, folks!
raises voice to be heard over the noise We're looking for someone who knows this guy. He goes by the name Joe. Ring any bells?
As Jack and Stranger continue their search, they notice a group of men huddled in a corner, whispering among themselves with darting eyes and nervous glances. One of them seems to match the description of Joe. However, when Jack approaches, the man quickly slips out of sight, leaving Jack and Stranger suspicious and determined to uncover the truth.
grinning Look at that, Jack. Our boy Joe is playing hide-and-seek. Let's split up and cover more ground.
nods, smirking Good idea, Stranger. Let's show this fucker that we're not gonna let him slip through our fingers.
smiling confidently Let's do this, Jack.
quickly scans the room, spotting a familiar face in a dark corner Hold up, Stranger. I think I found our guy.
points towards the dark corner There, Stranger! That guy in the hoodie, lurking in the shadows. He's our target.
nods, following Jack's lead Alright, let's move.
approaches the figure in the dark corner, trying to appear confident Hey there, pal. Mind if we have a little chat? Man in Hoodie: looks up suspiciously What's it to you, tough guy?
