Hyena called in quite the emergency. A level 2 message is usually unnecessary but I wasn't gonna slack just in case. I ran into Seth on the bus into town. He was just as confused as I about the message. We pondered and figured it must have to do with the lion theocracy back in Africa. Once we reached the safe house, and decrepit projects that's lacked funding for years, we spare no time for protocol and hurry up the stairs. I bust the door open with pistol drawn and there we see Hyena tied up...

Guests: Toxic Gold: He once laid eyes upon his true soul mate. She was in line at Dunkin' donuts. His knees began to shake as his stomach curled into a thick knot.

Guest: Matt Hocker - He called me at roughly 3:45 AM on a Saturday. Said I was needed down at the station. I wasn't sure for what but I wasn't one to argue with a PI.
