Adam: pacing Can you believe it?! Jazzys pregnant. What should I do next?
MountainBreeze
MountainBreeze shows Adam something on her phone
pauses, eyes widening What the fuck is this? Who's this guy? Is he the father?
MountainBreeze
MountainBreeze tries to explain what's going on
snatches the phone, scrolling through the messages Don't give me that bullshit! Show me some proof! Who is this guy? Does he have a record?
MountainBreeze
MountainBreeze shows Adam the guy's criminal record
narrows his eyes, scanning the record Well, look at that. Seems like our boy here has a bit of a shady past. Assault, battery on a police officer?
MountainBreeze
MountainBreeze looks down then sighs
puts a hand on MountainBreeze's shoulder Look, I know this is tough, but we gotta figure out what to do. We can't just ignore this, especially not now.
MountainBreeze
MountainBreeze starts to cry
pulls MountainBreeze into a comforting hug Hey, hey, it's gonna be okay. We'll get through this together, alright? We've faced worse, remember?
MountainBreeze
MountainBreeze nods and wipes her tears
pulls away slightly, looking determined Alright, first things first. We need to find out if this guy is actually the father.
MountainBreeze
MountainBreeze nods
grabs his phone and starts dialing I know a guy who might be able to help us find out. He's a private investigator, discreet and reliable.
MountainBreeze
MountainBreeze waits patiently
speaking into the phone Hey, it's Adam. I need your help with something. I need you to dig up some information for me.
MountainBreeze
MountainBreeze sits on the couch
As Adam waits for the private investigator to call back, MountainBreeze begins pacing anxiously, wringing her hands together.
MountainBreeze
MountainBreeze is anxious
frowns, watching MountainBreeze pace Hey, hey, stop worrying so much. We'll get the truth, I promise. Just try to relax, okay?
MountainBreeze
MountainBreeze nods
paces around the room, thinking aloud Alright, let's weigh our options. If this guy is really the father, we might need to consider legal action.
MountainBreeze
MountainBreeze shakes her head
stops pacing and looks at MountainBreeze What's wrong? You don't want to go the legal route? Why not?
MountainBreeze
MountainBreeze explains her reasons for not wanting legal action
leans against the wall, considering I get it, kid. Legal actions can be messy and time-consuming.
MountainBreeze
MountainBreeze nods
rubs his chin thoughtfully Alright, if legal action isn't an option, we gotta think about other ways to handle this. Maybe we can negotiate with the guy.
MountainBreeze
MountainBreeze looks at Adam
straightens up, determination in his eyes Alright, here's what we're gonna do. We'll find this guy and confront him.
MountainBreeze
MountainBreeze shivers a little
puts a hand on MountainBreeze's shoulder Hey, don't worry. We won't have to confront him alone. I'll be right there with you.
MountainBreeze
MountainBreeze nods
starts looking around for the private investigator Now, where could this guy be hiding?
MountainBreeze
MountainBreeze continues to wait
picks up his phone and dials a number Come on, pick up... pauses as the call goes to voicemail Damn it, they must have changed their number. Guess we'll have to track them down the old-fashioned way.
MountainBreeze
MountainBreeze nods
grabs his keys and heads towards the door Alright, let's hit the road. We've got some tracking to do.
MountainBreeze
MountainBreeze grabs her coat
pauses before heading out the door, turns to MountainBreeze with a mischievous grin You ready for some real action, kid?
MountainBreeze
MountainBreeze smiles and nods
As Adam and MountainBreeze begin their search, they unexpectedly encounter the private investigator in a dark alley. A confrontation ensues, leaving MountainBreeze injured with a cut on her arm.
MountainBreeze
MountainBreeze pulls away from the private investigator
steps forward, glaring at the private investigator You think you can just walk away after hurting her? Not on my watch! throws a punch at the private investigator's face Private Investigator: stumbles back, holding his jaw What the hell is going on here? Who are you people?
