Puffer, Star and I had prepared a plan to get information on Jaws to find out who we needed to take down to shut the gang down. We went to The Glass Scales. That’s where many gang members go for drinks so it wouldn’t be hard to find someone there who knew some good information.
I made Puffer and Star wait outside as I went in. Upon going through the doors, I could see the faces in the room change. Cod was sitting in the same corner as they were last time. They stood up as soon as they saw me. I pushed them back on their seat and sat next to them again.
“Hello again~.” I said in a playful tone. I noticed that their hand was still in a cast.
“What do you want this time?” They asked, panickedly. “Please leave me alone.”
“But you’re the only one here I know. I have to talk to someone.”
“Fine. What is it?”
“Who do I need to kill to take down Jaws?” I activated Truth.
Cod’s face became paler. Their eyes avoided mine.
“That’s a tough one.” They answered. “I don’t really know but I bet someone else here does! Please leave me alone.”
“What a shame.” I said. “Talk to you another time, eh?”
“Please don’t.”
A tall person in a tank top approached me from behind with angry eyebrows.
“This person bothering you, Cod?” They asked.
“It’s not worth it.” Cod replied. I nodded in agreement. “They’re Bigeye. They killed Jelly and Anchovy.”
“Really? I don’t believe it.”
“Wanna see it firsthand?” I asked.
“Maybe I do.”
“Just know that I have a police officer friend outside in case something goes off in here.”
“I call your bluff.” They grabbed me by my shirt.
“Come outside and check. They have big muscles and a metal right arm. They’re strong, too.”
“We’ll see.”
They dragged me outside, making sure I couldn’t escape. As they exited while holding me, Star immediately hit them in the face with a flying punch from their right arm. The gangster’s nose broke on impact and blood covered their face. Their grip on me was loosened completely. I brushed myself off and gave Star a thumbs up for their assistance. Star grabbed the gangster’s arms and pulled out handcuffs.
“You are under arrest for gang activity and assault!” Star declared, handcuffing the criminal on the ground. Star then activated Improvement to fix the broken nose with metal.
“Great work, officer.” I said as I crouched down to get closer to the gangster. “What’s your name?” I asked, activating Truth on the criminal.
“Piranha.” They replied, in tears.
“Alright, Piranha. Tell me this: who do I need to kill to take down Jaws?” Snap.
“Take down the boss, you’ll take down the whole gang.”
“Do you know where the boss is?” Snap.
“No.”
“Who knows?” Snap.
“Their guard, Clown.”
“Where can we find Clown?” Snap.
“With the boss on weekdays. At home on weekends.”
“Where do they live?” Snap.
“No clue.”
“Tell everyone in Jaws that Scad Bigeye is looking for Clown. They’ll find me. If you don’t tell people, I’ll come back.”
I stood up and walked back into the bar. Everyone was staring at me.
“Listen up!” I exclaimed. “I’m looking for someone named Clown! Spread the word!”
