suddenly, a group of armed men emerge from the shadows Hold your fire, kid! We need to talk!
looks at the men, then at Victor What do we do now, mentor?
steps forward, raising his hands in a calming gesture Easy now, fellas. We're just here to ask some questions. No need for violence. Man 1: skeptical Who are you, and what do you want?
calmly My name's Victor Grey, and this is my partner, Galap. We're private investigators looking into the death of the Hawkins family.

gestures for Galap to step forward Galap, show these fellas what we're working with.
looks at Victor, confused What is he going to show them?
smirks Oh, you'll see, kid. Galap's got a little trick up his sleeve. Galap pulls out a small vial from his pocket
leans in closer to Man 1 Now, I'm sure you gentlemen wouldn't want your precious warehouse to go up in flames, would you? But with this vial in Galap's hands, we could make that a very real possibility.
narrows his eyes But we're not here to threaten or to fight. We just want some answers. Who was behind the attack on the Hawkins family?
pauses for a moment, then speaks firmly Listen, fellas, time's running out. We need to know who did this, and we need to know now. If you don't cooperate, we'll have to consider other options.
