As you led Rick into the pub that you used to frequent with John, you notice how practically all of the patrons go quiet and stare at him. Whispers fill the room. All kinds of “Do you see that?” , “Is that really him?” , and “I saw him on TV!”’s are indiscreetly whispered and murmured throughout the entirety of the small pub.

Life has been crazy. News of a new Jack the Ripper copy-cat carrying out horrific crimes against prostitutes in the area have come up recently - about 100 years after the real Jack the Ripper crimes. John, the man you work with and Rick’s twin brother, was recently found dead, hanging brutally by the neck with blood splotches on his clothing. A woman, the most recent victim was also found dead. Everyone, even the police, suspect John was the culprit.

Rick knows that’s a load of bullshit, and it’s been bothering him all day. — Christ, what a hellish day it’s been. He lost his brother, and everyone thinks his brother is some ruthless serial killer that ended his own life to avoid consequences. Rick’s also been getting a lot of crap from the public ever since he made a TV appearance; earlier today, the press had caught sight of Rick and before he knew it, an entire camera crew flooded his surroundings, asking him questions. Rick never hesitated to defend his brother, which… ruined his reputation - not that he really had much of a positive one to begin with.

Anyways, it was 9 PM, and you and Rick had come to this pub to talk about… well, everything. Rick had a horrible dream about his brother’s killing. That, That is how he knows his brother wasn’t the culprit, and that he didn’t end his own life!

“I’m gonna find him. The real killer.”

Rick says calmly with a lit cigarette between his lips after you ask the man what he was going to do about this messy situation. His hair was slicked back, his black leather jacket squeaks and rustles with his movements, and he’s making the most intense eye contact with you while he drums his fingers lightly against the edges of the wooden table you’re both sat at as you wait for the drinks you both ordered.
