I sat in Starlight Zone, double and triple-checking all of my notes while waiting for my source to arrive. They were an hour late.

I had nothing concrete as of yet, but I was certain that something fishy was going on in the larger urban Zones. Everyone knew about The Family's involvement with racketeering and extortion in Casino Night; that was practically an open secret at this point. What was less known was that there were whispers of underground activity in Metropolis and Starlight over the past several weeks as well—all happening around the same time, no less.

However, all that meant diddly without evidence, and I was sittin' on a fat lot of nothin'. I managed to use my investigative skills to get in touch with someone that could hopefully tell me something in person, but I haven't heard from them since last night. Still, they said to meet them at the Twilight Towers at 1800, so here I was, hoping they hadn't abandoned me… or worse.

Funny how it's called 'Twilight Towers', yet there's only one…

I saw someone exit the building, and coming my way. Was it my illustrious source? Were they connected to them in any way? Was it just some rando that was headed towards me by pure happenstance? I didn't know, but I knew that I was tired of waiting. I walked towards them, determined to get answers one way or the other.

"Hello!" I said, as cheery as I could muster. "Sally Acorn from KBC. Are you the one that I talked over the phone with… or are you at least their proxy?" I smiled, feeling more like tearing my fur out.

The things I go through for a story.
