By the time I was finished with the goons in the Industrial District it wasn't even 11'o clock. If Mr. Patton was still in his office, I likely had time to talk to him as well.

 

I got to Patton Arms by 11:30 on the dot. I could see Arnold's office light was still on, meaning he hadn't left yet. I found a vent on the rooftop and crawled in. It was more cramped than most other vents, but I was still able to locate Arnold's office. I could see him enjoying a mug of coffee while filling out some paperwork. I gently remove the vent cover and drop into his office.

 

"Good evening, Mr. Patton."

 

"Wh-what, hey---oh...!"

 

He's jumpy and nervous. Not good.

 

"Mr. Patton, you have nothing to worry about. I'm not going to hurt you."

 

I pick up his coffee mug and sniff it. Seems he's having coffee with his whiskey. I lift my eyes to see him holding a small 9 millimetre pistol.

 

"I'd put that down before you make a bad mistake, Mr. Patton." I grab his wrist and take the gun. He won't be needing it.

 

"Look, Batman, I haven't done anything wrong... why are you here, man, you're freaking the shit out of me...?"

 

"Friend of mine went missing." His eyes widen immediately. "Her name's Zulu, you may or may not know her true name, but nonetheless, she is missing. Word on the street is she came in here a few weeks back with company. Know anything about that?"

 

Arnold slumps down into his chair and leans his head in his hand.

 

"Shit... you don't know already? You mean... Bloodfall didn't tell you...?"

 

Bloodfall? That's who she was with? This can't be good...

 

"What happened?"

 

He just shakes his head.

 

"What. Happened. Mr Patton?"

 

He sighs deeply.

 

"I think you'll wanna see for yourself."

 

"And where might I 'see for myself' in this case?"

 

"Antarctica."
