Who needs subtlety when you've got style?

HEY, NEWS GUY.

Thanks for the article. I liked the coverage, and the fear you showed. Really covering your job, aren't you?

By the way, for who's watching: The name's Red Hood. Red Hood. Don't forget it.

Except that cute little bird here. Bet you've been looking for me, haven't you?

Yes, several of us are familiar with your name. However it seems the paper in question objected to printing it.

[antipatriarchy]

Can't figure out why that happened. Can you?

[shimizudan]

Is his article about baby seals out already?

[antipatriarchy]

Not yet. Check back tomorrow.

[expositional]

Naturally, I have several theories. To be honest, it's not a difficult question.

[antipatriarchy]

I figured a fine detective such as you would have more solid facts by now. There isn't a whole lot to work with here.

[highlyinformed]

Aiyah~ you got your account working! I was concerned you might have needed help, which I'm always happy to send someone over to do.

[antipatriarchy]

I've got it covered.

[expositional]

His report had no connection to our offices, so don't confuse his ignorance with that of the police.

[highlyinformed]

Well, stop by anyhow. Ran Mao has something exciting to share.

[antipatriarchy]

I was talking about your theories.

Tell me this: Why do you think I'm doing all this, Detective Shirogane?

[antipatriarchy]

After I'm done with my début, I'll do just that.

[shimizudan]

Oh.. I thought that was where you would have noticed his fear.

[antipatriarchy]

Anyone listening to their employers always show a little fear.

[expositional]

Why? Have you forgotten your own motives?

[antipatriarchy]

Clever. What a way to show that you either don't have a damn clue, or you don't wanna let me in on the fact that you're on to me.

[shimizudan]

I guess I don't know much about either of those anymore.

[expositional]

The third option is that even as an independent investigator, I am currently under a binding non-disclosure contract with the New Moore police department.

[antipatriarchy]

Gotta respect the world's unemployed, right?

[antipatriarchy]

Heh, it's always door number three.

[expositional]

However, I don't believe I will be working on this particular case for much longer. I'm sure the details of my work will be made clear to you after you've been apprehended.

That's not on my agenda, I'm sorry to say.

They say a picture's worth a million words.
