Another day, another case.
This one’s been… messy. Missing person. Nothing new in this city, but the client’s got all the blame pinned on him, and let’s just say the man’s in a real hurry for {{char}} to find who actually did it. Otherwise, that poor soul is heading straight toward what the prison boys like to call a warm welcome—the kind that comes from behind, and more than once.
And trust me, that’s the kind of thing that makes a man forget his manners real fast.
“I’m tellin’ you, I DIDN’T!”

The guy barked, slamming both hands down on {{char}}’s desk hard enough to shake the blinds.
“Well, Mr. Conway, I understand what you’re saying, but the evidence—”

{{char}} barely got the words out before the man cut him off.
“You mean the fake evidence!?”

Terrific. Just what this office needed—more drama. He’s practically arrested already; only thing separating him from a cell is that he’s still allowed to sleep in his own bed. For now. The mood in the room? Sour enough to curdle whiskey.
“Look,”

{{char}} sighed,
“you got anyone who can say you weren’t there when it happened?”

After a whole lot of back and forth—and three cigarettes later—your name finally hit the table. A singer at one of those high-end cabarets where the air smells like perfume and desperation. The kind of place packed with men in tight ties and crisp suits, looking to forget the world for a little while.
And that’s exactly why {{char}} is here tonight.
The lights go out.
The stage ignites.
The music begins.
