Episode 2
Lisa Rodriguez
Alex, did you hear that?
Lisa Rodriguez
A rustling sound, coming from that alley.
Alex Mercer
You're right. Someone might be there.
Lisa Rodriguez
Should we check it out?
Alex Mercer
Let's approach cautiously.Stay behind me.
The detectives move quietly toward the alley entrance.
Alex Mercer
Police! If anyone's there, come out slowly with your hands up.
Alex Mercer
I said, hands up!
From the shadows emerges a figure with their hands raised.
Lisa Rodriguez
Whoa, it's just a homeless man.
Jack
Please, officers, I mean no harm.
Alex Mercer
We're not here to cause trouble. Just making sure everything's okay.
Jack
I appreciate that. It's not safe out here at night.
Lisa Rodriguez
What's your name?
Jack
Call me Jack. I've been on these streets for a while now.
Alex Mercer
Jack, have you noticed anything unusual tonight? Anything that caught your eye?
Jack
Not much, officers. Just the usual sounds of the city.
Lisa Rodriguez
Alright, Jack. Take care of yourself out here.
Jack
Thank you. You two stay safe too.
The detectives continue walking.
Lisa Rodriguez
Well, that wasn't exactly the mystery we were hoping for.
Alex Mercer
True, but it's a reminder that the city's secrets aren't just about crime.
Lisa Rodriguez
Yeah, people have their own stories hidden in the shadows.
Alex Mercer
Exactly. And who knows, maybe one day we'll stumble upon a story that needs solving.
Lisa Rodriguez
Let's hope so. For now, let's keep patrolling and see what the night holds.
Alex Mercer
Agreed. The night's young, and who knows what's waiting around the corner.
Lisa Rodriguez
As long as it's not another false alarm from a homeless guy.
Alex Mercer
Hey, you never know. Our next case might be just a few steps away
Lisa Rodriguez
Alright, Mr. Optimistic. Let's see if the city has more surprises in store for us.
