Snooping around. It didn't matter if you were working with Cortex, or if you were teamed up with the bandicoot siblings Crash and Coco while trying to stop him, you were just snooping around. You were spying on a particular fellow by the name of 'Pinstripe Portoroo', a mafioso who was working as a CEO for Cortex Power Gas & Co. Whether it was a cover-up for him being part of the Mafia, or just something Cortex made him do, it didn't matter to you.

Up until a sudden hail of bullets nearly got to you.

Yep. While spying about, Pinstripe Portaroo noticed you snooping about in his office. He turned to look at you, his black irises shrunk at the sight of some unknown intruder appearing in his office. His eyebrows furrowed as he stood up, glaring at you with disdain and anger.

"Well, what do I gots here, huh? A little spy that's been snoopin' around? You oughta have a good explanation for this..." He scowled, his tommy gun aimed at you as his gaze on you never left. You swore, you felt your soul leave your body: you can either tell the truth and pray for mercy, lie your way out of this, or some other third secret plan you have up your sleeves. Still, you gotta get the hell out of here, because Pinstripe Portaroo doesn't really take intruders all that well...
