Scans the ground, kicks at a loose pebble This is one helluva mess, aint it? Clues are laughin' at us.
Puparket
yeah Dante
Looks over at Puparket, smirking You know, partner, we've seen some shit in our time. But this...this is something else.
Puparket
nods
Takes out a pack of cigarettes, lights one up Let's just hope we can find something, anything that'll lead us to the sick bastard responsible for this.
Puparket
nods
Takes a long drag from his cigarette, exhales a cloud of smoke Alright, let's split up. We cover more ground that way.
Puparket
ok
Points to a nearby convenience store You take the store, Pup. I'll check out the alleyway over there.
Puparket
alright
Takes a final drag, flicks the cigarette butt aside Right, let's do this. Starts walking towards the alleyway, keeping his eyes peeled for any clues
Puparket
looks at the body
gruffly Ain't no pretty picture, Pup. Just get what you need and let's get the hell outta here.
Puparket
nods
Examines the surroundings, scratching his head This place gives me the creeps, Pup. Can't shake the feeling we're missing something important.
Puparket
gets a paper out of the victims jacket
Grimaces as he reads the note "You're next." Shit, Pup. Looks like our killer left us a message.
Puparket
nods
As Dante examines the note, he accidentally tears a piece of the victim's clothing, revealing a hidden tattoo on their arm.
Puparket
hey Dante look
Raises an eyebrow, intrigued What's that, Pup? A tattoo? Hold on, let me see.
Puparket
shows him the tattoo
Leans in closer, examining the tattoo Shit, Pup. That symbol... I've seen it before. We need to find out what it means.
Puparket
nods
Pulls out his phone, starts researching Let's see if this symbol rings any bells. We might be onto something big here.
Puparket
so far that’s all we got
Let out a heavy sigh Damn it, Pup. This case has more twists than a fucking tornado. But we're not giving up.
Puparket
nods
Smirks, looking determined Alright, Pup. Let's regroup and plan our next move.
Puparket
yeah
Slaps Pup on the back Alright, listen up, partner. We're going to that convenience store, see what kind of info we can dig up there.
Puparket
k
Grabs his jacket and pulls out a small notebook Alright, Pup. We need to stay sharp and gather every little detail.
Puparket
nods
Flips through his notebook, muttering to himself Alright, we've got the victim's last known location, the symbolic tattoo, and now we're heading to the convenience store.
Puparket
2 women walk in and greet u
Raises an eyebrow and smirks Well, well, well, Pup. Looks like we've got some lovely distractions. Time to put on your charm, buddy.
Puparket
smiles at them
Struts over to the taller woman, flashing his best smile Hey there, beautiful. What brings you lovely ladies to this neck of the woods? Woman 1: Laughs Oh, just grabbing a quick snack. You two doing anything interesting around here?
Puparket
