"Thoughts on the ransom note, love? 100,000 dollars. Instructions clear?"
Market
"Not entirely. The note demands we meet in an abandoned warehouse by midnight. It's risky, but I believe we can negotiate our way out."

"Risk is the nature of the beast, my love. But negotiation? Let's hope they're as reasonable as you. I'll prepare the money. Any particular denominations requested?"
Market
"Half in cash, half in whiskey. Good thing we have stocks."

starts making phone calls and talking to contacts, gathering information and piecing together clues "Alright, let's see what we have here. We have a tip about a possible lead, a man named Terry who saw something suspicious near the warehouse last night. And another contact who heard whispers of a secret entrance into the building. Looks like we're getting closer."
Market
Tell me more about Terry. What does he say he saw?

"Terry claims to have seen a group of men, about five or six of them, entering the warehouse last night. He says they were wearing masks and looked like they knew what they were doing. He didn't get a good look at their faces, but he remembers one of them had a distinctive tattoo on his neck, like a snake coiled around a dagger."
Market
A snake coiled around a dagger, ye say? Sounds like a blooter. Ye think he's involved in the kidnapping?

"I don't want to jump to conclusions just yet, but it certainly seems suspicious. We need to find out more about this tattoo and verify Terry's account. I'll make some more calls and dig deeper into Terry's background. In the meantime, you keep looking into the books and see if you can find anything unusual."
Market
Aye, love. I'll dive into the ledgers. Maybe there's a connection tae the tattoo blooter.

finishes making phone calls and gathers all the information she has, starts connecting the dots and forming a plan "Alright, love.

I've found something fishy, love. There's a ledger entry for a man called Serpentine. Seems tae match the tattoo ye described.

nods approvingly "Good work, love. Let's dig deeper into Serpentine. Find out everything we can about him. We need to be prepared for whatever comes our way."

gathers a team of trusted associates and begins planning a surveillance operation to keep an eye on Serpentine and gather more evidence "Alright, love. Here's what we're going to do. We'll set up surveillance outside Serpentine's house and follow him if he leaves. We'll also pay a visit to his known associates and see if anyone has any information that can help us.
Market

Vectra

pauses for a moment, choosing her words carefully "I know enough to be concerned, love. The kidnapping event you're referring to happened a few years ago, when Serpentine was still a young man. From what I've gathered, he was involved in a gang that specialized in abduction and ransom. They were known for their ruthless tactics and their ability to cover their tracks. It was a frightening time for the city, and the police struggled to catch them. Serpentine himself managed to escape justice, but rumors have been circulating that he never fully recovered from the experience. Now, it seems like he's back in business. That's why we need to be extra careful."
Market
Aye, love. We cannae afford tae take any risks. I'll rally the boys, and we'll hit Serpentine's place first light.
Vectra

firmly "No, love. This is our operation. We cannae trust anyone else tae handle it. We'll take down Serpentine, but we'll do it oor own way.
Market
Aye, but love. Ye ken what happens tae the cells in ma brain when I'm mixed up in these things... The whiskey business has been a nightmare recently, and now this... I cannae be responsible fer anyone else's life. I need tae find ma wee laddie

Market
