The Gallery?
“Yea!” He nods as if it might just save his life, “The boys and I scouted around every now and then, right? Get this: we were checking out the gallery the other day–y’know, to see if we could nab anything pricey?
You nod–it’s definitely what you would do!
“Right! We were already weighed down from another raid, though, so we planned to check it out later. Only when we offloaded our loot an’ headed back out, the whole place was locked down!”
Well <span class="mu-i">DUH</span>, you sneer, it’s a <span class="mu-s">GALLERY!</span>
“You think I don’t know that!?” Spits the skeleton! “I mean it was locked down even <span class="mu-i">more</span>, alright? We came back and found the whole place fitted with chains, new locks, hell, there was even some sort of funny smell around the whole place!”
“So…” Eddie asks, “did you guys break in?”
“Hell no!” Donnie shouts! “There was something <span class="mu-i">off</span> about that place! Haven’t been back since.”
Huh, you mutter to yourself, well that sounds <span class="mu-i">peachy</span>!
“Hey, you wanted out of the ordinary, you got out of the ordinary.” The skeleton shrugs. “And that, uh, that happens to be all I got, so…” He looks at you with a sheepish grin, “How about letting me go now?”
Mulling over all of the new info, you let the biker stew for a bit before giving your answer: you’ll give him a running start… after that, well…
“W-well?” The skeleton stammers as Talbot and Eddie help him to his feet.
You respond with a shrug–that part’s on him! Turning your attention to the dogs, you whip out your <span class="mu-g">CHINCHILL PUMP-ACTION</span> and aim it in the air! Scram, mutts!
Though the <span class="mu-r">WILD DOGS OF CLEARWATER</span> are no strangers to gunshots, these ones scatter quickly once you fire a few salvos of buckshot into the air! Retreating to safety behind a car, you motion for Eddie and Talbot to give the prisoner a ‘<span class="mu-i">boost</span>’!
Kicking him off the burned-out APC, your pals watch with menacing glee as the skeleton swiftly picks himself off and rushes towards the park! “I-I WON’T FORGET THISSS!” He shouts as the dogs get over their fears! As the baying pack disappears after the skeleton down the street, you give your goons an appreciative nod–not bad, guys!
“Thanks!” Eddie grins, “Not every day I get to play The Muscle!”
“It gets easier with practice.” Talbot shrugs. “So what’s next, anyways?”
What <span class="mu-i">IS</span> next?
