Immortal heart [1.4]
I cautiously head to the place that Edgar gave me. Upon arriving, I am accosted by a large man with an intimidating glare.
Luo
What are you doing here?
Rose
Um, I just need to meet with someone...
Luo
Sorry. This is a members-only bar. do you have a reference?
Rose
Right... Edgar told me to come here. This is his card.
I hand the man the business card and his expression change.
Luo
Ol' Ed! why didn't you say so earlier?
Luo
Come on in. Who are you planning to see?
Rose
(Who exactly was Edgar ...?)
The man escorts me to the bar area and motions me over to the bartender they Edgar told me about.
Walt
Vis? you want me to tell his current address?
Walt
I can't really do that.
Rose
Why not? Edgar said you could help me.
Walt
Well, about that... vis doesn't really stay in just one place.
Walt
He keeps moving. No knows where he'll be unless you manage to solve his puzzle.
Walt
he leave a puzzle behind in bars like ours so that anyone looking for him will have to find him.
Rose
But his an informant! Doesn't that gives us more work to do??
Walt
it's his way of protecting himself. There are many people out there who are eager to silence others who may have info about them.
Rose
I see. still... this is quite an ordeal.
Rose
But there's something I need to do so... please give me the puzzle.
I take a seat on the bed of my apartment. Even after a year of living here, it just doesn't really fell like home.
Rose
(But I had no choice... After Ray disappeared, I needed every penny I could to speed up the investigation.)
Rose
(As much as I wanted him to come back to that house, I just couldn't afford to keep it.)
Rose
No... I shouldn't let myself be distracted from the matter at hand!
Rose
What I have now could be the key finding my brother.
I take a look at the slip of paper that the bartender handed me.
Rose
What are these? they look like stick figures...
Rose
Am I supposed to decode this to find that informant?
Rose
For some reason... this dancing men looks familiar.
I leap up, my heart was pounding in excitement. I've seen before in one of Ray's books.
taking a book in my hand, I quickly leaf through the pages.
Rose
The adventure of Sherlock Holmes... this is it.
inserted the pages in Ray's neat handwriting is a set of letters and numbers paired with every drawing of a dancing man.
Rose
I feel like everything is leading to this every moment. Could be this fate...?
I carefully used the quide to decode the puzzle and finally come across the single address.
