"How the hell am I supposed to find three more cards that are scattered around Brighton?" Seán groaned as he left the hospital while lost in thought, not paying attention to the people pushing past him.
"Maybe Sam could help somehow." Seán murmured thoughtfully as he went home to retrieve the robot.
"Sam!" Seán called out as he opened the door of his house, his foot crushing something as he stepped inside.
"Oh no..."
Seán moved his foot to see Sam's blue pupil staring back at in with a long crack running down the center, the rest of Sam's body destroyed and scattered around the house.
"How does Marvin know that this is where I live?" Seán wondered aloud before pausing, the realization dawning on him.
"Schneep, Marvin must be torturing him for information." Seán sighed, running a hand through his hair.
"I gotta call Chase, make sure he's okay." Seán muttered as he dialed Chase's number, impatiently waiting for him to pick up.
"Yyyeeaaah?" Chase drawled, hiccuping before Seán could hear the sound of sloshing liquid followed by the thud of glass hitting wood.
"Chase, you're drunk and we still have three codes to find if we want Schneep alive." Seán groaned in irritation, Chase hiccuping again.
"It's aaallllll goooood. I'm sure I'll find a code at the bottom of this bottle." Chase giggled, Seán rolling his eyes.
"Are you at home?" Seán questioned gruffly.
"Nah man, I'm in a whole new fucking world." Chase answered, his voice filled with awe as Seán scowled before hanging up and storming into his bedroom to get changed into his suit.
"What?!" Seán snapped as his phone started going off, the Irishman angrily answering while expecting to hear Chase's voice.
"My show is every hour on the hour Jackaboy. Not a minute before, and not a minute later."
Seán's face paled as he moved the phone away from his ear, Marvin's face filling the screen with Schneep barely visible behind him.
"Jack, vhatever he is having you do, don't do it." Schneep cried pleadingly, Seán squinting to see a splotch of blood staining the German's side.
"The sharks are getting hungrier, they can taste his blood!" Marvin laughed as the rope holding Schneep above the tank lowered him closer to his death, the German audibly sucking in a startled breath.
"Leave him alone!" Seán barked commandingly, the rope abruptly stopping to leave Schneep's legs hovering just barely over the fins of the sharks.
"Find the rest of the cards, you have six hours." Marvin directed tersely, his expression uncharacteristically serious as the screen went black.
"DAMNIT!" Seán screamed as he threw his phone across the room, watching it shatter into a million pieces before he left the house.
"I have to do this alone then." Seán huffed as he walked down the sidewalk, bumping into someone in his hurry.
"Sorry." Seán mumbled apologetically to the person as he walked on, pausing as he felt their hand grab his shoulder to stop him in his tracks.
The person was a male dressed in a long sleeve white button up shirt partially covered by a cobalt blue vest and black pants, a black bowler hat sitting on top of his brown hair and one of his electric blue eyes shielded by a monocle.
"Hey, what are you doing?" Seán frowned as he pulled Seán aside out of everyone else's way, his hands moving in a slow meticulous pattern he couldn't understand.
"Look man, I don't speak sign language." Seán replied, starting to walk off before the man grabbed his arm.
Seán pulled his arm free as the man created a notepad and pen in hand, the male hastily scribbling something down.
"The hell? How did you do that?" Seán blurted, the dapper smiling knowingly as he showed Seán the paper.
My name is Jameson Jackson, but you can call me JJ. I am the one who gave you the suit and Sam, and now I've come to help you. Marvin has sent someone to attack you.
"Well shit then." Seán whistled, JJ taking the paper back to continue writing before handing the paper back.
We need to find Chase first, we'll need his help. I know where his house is, so I'll lead the way.
"Wait, how do you now where he lives? And how the hell did you get that notepad?" Seán interrupted, JJ walking off without replying.
"Hold on Schneep, we'll save you." Seán whispered as he chased after the mute, following him to Chase's house.
