Javier had recently heard a rumor that Samuels, the head detective of his police station was leaving for another state. He wanted that spot, and was planning to get it by being the best detective around. But this morning there didn’t seem to be anything going on this morning, so he spent his time starting on the paperwork on A. Rich Guy’s beach house being vandalized. (Obligation roll: 5) Suddenly the phone rang, and Samuels picked it up. “Chief Detective Samuels here… Uh-huh.. Liberty Bank? …. Got it. I’ll put Javier on to it.” Samuels turned to Javier and said “Javier, Liberty Bank got robbed last night. Get down there and investigate, got it? Leave the vandalism case here. Trip Hazard is off suspension and the boss wants him to take care of it.”
