      Verdict’s not in yet. You must think this is going to be “by the book”. No. I’m going to work you over so hard you’ll be begging for gently caress-me-in-the-rear end prison just on the off chance some of the convicts got smaller dicks. And I’m gonna love every second. Give me his dossier.The nearest officer passes Walton a manila folder, adding “We didn’t find the goods on him, director. He must have already made the drop.” Walton swears and turns back to the file.  Y’know, you don’t exactly look in your prime, Wayne Gretsky. Can’t help but think you’re going to die before you see your first appeal. That profile have cobwebs on it? Nice intel, detective. Guess you could say I’m more a gambler these days.The rain beats hard against the window. In the distance a phone rings, followed by the thump of footsteps echoing up a concrete stairwell. Does anyone still call you “Red”, you bald gently caress? I always bet on red.A young interpol agent slips into the room carrying a mobile phone. “It’s her,” she whispers, eyes wide. “In person this time”. Red snorts, rolls his head back against the wall and lets out a husky chortle. You’re hosed, buddy. Good knowing ya.Walton takes the phone as if he’d made a trade with Atlas. He cups the receiver and hisses something about tracing the call. The agent indicates that they already are. Slowly his hand goes to his ear. Walton. Hello, Director. I’d like to speak to the man you’re detaining. Don’t bother. Your man’s going to squeal like a pig. Everything in his fat head is gonna end up on a police file, promise you that. If you must. I feel it’s only fair to let you know there’s a bomb in the room.Walton gestures emphatically, trying to keep the cool in his voice. The officers wrangle Red out of the room, still tied to his chair. Weak bluff, Carmen, we already brought the dogs through. Think this is my first day on the job? Quite the opposite, but let’s stay on topic. You send the cash, I return the… hold on, which was it this time… oh, the Crown Jewels. They’ll want those back. Then you let my acquaintance walk, and we’ll all get together again in a month or two. I hate reminding you every time, it makes me feel like a nag. I’m staring at three bodies, all wearing badges! You think I’m gonna let that walk? When did killing cops become part of your game, you loving psychopath?! Same game, but I’ve changed the rules. There's always someone who will play along. It was good talking to you... one last time, Walton. Au revoir.

Richard Wallace Walking outside into bright sunlight makes him sneeze Walton was walking across the Golden Gate Bridge looking for a good photo spot when Carmen stole it. Although he was sedated and dropped off at a safe location, he's absolutely convinced that no one with such power should be allowed to roam free. And hey, Chewbot. Welcome back to LP.

Holy tapdancing God, this is the specific version of the Carmen Sandiego game we had on my old 486 back when I was a kid. This is literally the first game I ever played with my mother.

Thanks for all the suggestions so far. I probably won't take all of one thing, I'll cherry-pick the three that make the best combo. I'm sorry to say as cool as Inspector Gadget vs Carmen Sandiego might be it would complicate things quite a bit. We're sticking to some straight noir at least for now. Speaking of noir, even though the game is firmly set in the 80's, everybody acts like it's the 50's. We're just gonna roll with that.
