>>6167184"I don't know that man, McDowd."
Your whisper reaches his floppy ears.
"Me neither. But that girl, isn't she from the brothel-"
"Yeah, Rita."
"So that gunman's the only threat. I can't shoot him here, it'll cause too much of a ruckus..."
Well, he's right, it'll risk alerting the possible cultists inside the clinic, and maybe even start a gunfight with that mustachioed stranger. Hmm, what to do, what to do... aha, is that a rock you see?
"Oh look, a solution lying around!"
McDowd eyes you with a questioning look, as you cock your throwing arm back. One, two, three, easy as pie - and the stone sails across the alley, squarely hitting the stranger on his forehead. Well, more like it thwacked hard, as the middle-aged gunman went down with little noise.
"Damn, you nailed him good!"
McDowd whispered quickly before materializing some rope and a gag from his inventory. As expected, he quickly used them on the latest prisoner; which means it's your cue to sneak up on Rita.
"What are you up to?"
Rita doesn't seem to be surprised by your presence.
"Ah, you're that Rosa gal! I hope your boy heals good. Anyways, that's Hammy, right there, in the flesh! I'm his biggest fan! So, you here to stalk him too, eh?"
You glance towards where Rita is pointing, and inside is a human kid being treated for bruises. Granted, he does have that entertainer feel on him.
"Rita, that's a child. You sure it's him?"
"Yea! That's Hammy alright, I own several photoshoots of him. He's one of those 'ageless' kids, you know?"
Well, that threw your theory about the passengers being cultists out the window. Then again, things still don't add up, and you'll get to the bottom of this cult stuff... just so you can get directions towards the next reality anchor. You'll need to be careful with your next moves...
