Alex: This is where we draw the line, you lazy bastard! Fix the damn leak!
Phobichine
Look, I've got more than enough money to pay for the repairs, but there's just one problem...
crosses arms What is it now? Don't come up with another excuse to avoid paying up!
Phobichine
Sighs I hate to say this...But I just lost all my money to a scammer.
narrows eyes A scammer, huh? Well, lucky for you, I happen to have a knack for dealing with those bastards.
Phobichine
Do you know what they do? They scam people out of their money! And if you say that's why you live in this neighborhood...then I'm going to assume that you don't really care about your tenants.
grabs Phobichine by the collar You think I don't care about my tenants? You think I enjoy seeing them get ripped off?
Phobichine
I squirm I-I didn't mean it like that!
releases Phobichine's collar Look, I may not care about my tenants, but I do care about justice.
Phobichine
Then help me get my money back.
smirks Alright, here's what we're gonna do. We'll track down this scammer and make him pay for what he did to you. But before we get started, there's something you need to know.
Phobichine
I nod
leans in closer This isn't gonna be easy, and it's definitely not gonna be cheap.
Phobichine
Just tell me what you need me to do.
pulls out a map First, we need to gather information about the scammer.
Phobichine
Okay. I point to an empty lot on the map He's probably staying in that abandoned warehouse there.
puts a finger on the map Abandoned warehouse, huh? We'll pay that place a visit later tonight. But before we do, we need to prepare.
Phobichine
So...what do we need?
As Alex and Phobichine prepare for their mission, they realize that the scammer is associated with a dangerous criminal organization.
Phobichine
I uh...We should probably call the police.
slams hand on the table Call the police? Are you kidding me? We can't just call the cops and let them handle this.
Phobichine
Why not?
leans in, voice low and intense Look, Phobichine, we can't trust the police in this kind of situation.
Phobichine
Why not?
grabs Phobichine by the shoulders Because, Phobichine, the police won't understand the gravity of the situation.
Phobichine
You're right. The police probably wouldn't care that much...I'm sorry.
throws a punch at the wall Damn right they wouldn't care! Those assholes think they can just waltz in here and clean up our messes.
Phobichine
I flinch a little bit
takes a deep breath Look, Phobichine, I may not always show it, but I care about you.
Phobichine
...Thanks, Alex.
grabs Phobichine's arm Now listen up, you dumbass! We're not gonna let some scumbag ruin our neighborhood.
Phobichine
I nod So what do we do now?
grabs a black duffel bag Now we gear up and show that fucking scammer who they're messing with.
Phobichine
I follow Alex to the duffel bag
rummages through the duffel bag Alright, Phobichine, we need to make sure we're prepared for anything.
Phobichine
What kinds of things should we be prepared for?
pulls out a pistol First, we need to be ready to deal with any armed threats. I've got a pistol here, but we should consider getting something more heavy-duty.
Phobichine
Like a rifle or a shotgun?
Exactly. A rifle or a shotgun would be perfect for taking out that scammer. But we also need to be prepared for close combat, so we should also bring some brass knuckles.
