[Sodium_noir] Pizza for Two

[Spikey]

Hope Zagorski, Cody Brannigan 
Detectives 
Big Al's Pizza Parlor 

Hope nods as she eats. "Be honest with me. Should we wear vests tomorrow?" She had a feeling that they were really going to need them, no matter what he said. Chinatown was a dangerous place. 

>He attacks a piece of the pizza. A look of pleasnat appreciation on his face. 

Hope chuckles. Like she suspected, he'd never had a real pizza before. She looks around. The waiter, to her relief, didn't seem to be around. "So what's the game plan for tomorrow? Where we gonna start?" 

He doesn't answer for a while. But she observes the slow change in his face as he comes to realise he can't mask his concern with Gluttony forever.

"Vests might be a wise move Hope. Never been a fan of them once the proverbial hits the fan but we'll just be asking questions. Starting from the ground up again and gathering intel. Never hurts to have an extra ace up ones sleeve at times like that."

He drinks some more beer.

"I've made some friends in Chinatown. Decent folk who will talk, will be happy to work witht he police. And then there are the underworld figures who suffer under big Bosses and will spill the beans to get even or to get ahead. Unfortunatly i know too many of those as well. The thing is, a lot of what we learned over the years is now Bird cage filler. Akril's departure really shakes the snowglobe up and we are stuck waiting to see where the flakes land. My suggestion is we tread carefully and tap any resource we can. Build a new set of knowledge and go from there."

He shrugged and smiled, his expression said 'what else can we do?'
