Backup...

OK the nights fast approaching and everyones getting prepared.
Glad I'm not looking at that crazy book...what the hell is a Necronomicon anyway?
I got an idea, one that might get me killed or maybe just save us all. After planting a few seeds of doubt with Diamonds men I'm going to try and talk Dock Vogan into a coup attempt. Starting with Diamonds new best friend, Gardiner. He's crazy enough to do it and reckon there might be enough guys with him or scared of him to pull it off.
One more thing, the knife. It could be handy so think I'll stop by the university and pick it up. They might even have a translation of the writing too.
Before this all kicks off I want to take everyone to Franks place for a drink; would be good to have Nancy there too. Give me a chance to witness and give her my will...

Plan...Z?

Note to self; these university types talk to much.
We need to do something and fast before whats in those files actually comes true.
We got a distraction of a small army of hobos so we can raid the boat club.
Waiting for the next full moon when theres a drop off by van.
Plan is basically get in, get as much goods on them as we can, torch the place and get out. What can possibly go wrong haha!

More fishy goings on...

Lets go in a dark cave thats hard to get to and poke about a bit...worst plan ever!
At least the guys beleive me now. But turns out theres worse than Gardiner...I need a bigger gun. So anyway we find out these fish people been kidnapping and I guess sacrificing hobos.
Reminds me of what happened to her. I cant bring her back but I can sure make life difficult for these monstrous bastards!
Oh and I picked up a bit of evidence, a big and very sharp knife with freaky writing on the blade.

Beaten but not down...

OK things aint been going exactly to plan.
First I get hit with my own baseball bat in my own office. Only a warning of course, the mook had a gun. Then at the yacht club I see this distinctly efeminate henchman on his own and go for a bit of payback...tell you what, he dont hit like no girl!
Seeing as he bested me I tried to turn him on his boss, Diamond, voodoo is bad for business. Could be interesting if he bites.

Sam Dawson PI

Nancy found what looks like a file extract under my office door. Didn't let her see it...scares me god knows what it would do to the poor girl.

Might be a warning, might be someone trying to tell me I was right...she was murdered and mutilated for a reason.

If it was a warning they made a big mistake.

They'll pay; whoever did it, everyone involved, anyone who stood by and let it happen. Even if it means I fry in the big chair, I'm not worth a dam without her anyway.

it's all a bit icky really.....

well...
The chaps were proving quite affable after last week's talking to, wot. Dawson however, didn't join us, under the weather. Shame really, seemed a bloody nice sort, if a little tense. One hopes a good drawing out and tonic will see to him...
Only problem is, that chap Gardiner is downright slimy. No really, can't stand the chap. Makes the otherwise pleasant trip to the yacht club wanting to be avoided. But one must keep on....
....Turns out we were outfoxed by some dastardly awful sorts who didnt' leave much of our contact....got his notebook tho, see what comes of that, wot?
And that little sweetie Jesus made a jolly good recommendation to hire that poor, poor girl at the yacht club to get her out of those scaley clutches of aforementioned slimy chap. Ick!
Let's hope t'isnt too late for her, she does have very good profile for some charity show I'm supposed to get some girls for...

Back to this...whutsit again...
Dawson disapeared mutterin some nonsence about fish or Wales or somethin...had a look about while e was gone...whahaha...spoke to the foundation folk about what had happened but those clueless buggers had even less of a clue than us....Went to see that barman Dawson mentioned from that boat club...that was a dead end tho we did find a notebook...kids n murder scenes, whahaha..so back to them snotty folk at the boat club, got a picture of the owner for posterity..... did i mention we got a description of him to the cops about a certain dissasembled barman, oh well.....mibbie arranged another insider with the barmaid, got De'ath to offer her a job but string her along a bit.......dropped that Diamond gangsters name in front of the owner and checked out his security...dems got guns.....oh did i mention im an actor.....
