What challenges do John and Arthur face upon returning to Arkham?
Well, there goes the car. Suppose the driver didn't want to wait. Well, what's to stop us from not going in? Suppose a bullet in the head. Touché. He said it was down and through a set of doors on the left. Unless you've been here before. No. Parker always said to steer clear of Edwins. Now we know why. Yeah. Where exactly are we? We're in an alley. A wide, crate-filled, brown-stoned back street that juts off from Liverpool Road. Briskly moving steam billows from a sewer grate halfway down, and a small walkway turns left near the end of the alley. The streetlight is dim, and fills the walkway with a golden-orange hue. I guess Edwin didn't get the message that Prohibition is over. I'm sure with alcohol no longer being a concern, the clientele here got a lot more... Dangerous.
So, what do you know about them? Not much. Our case has kept a wide distance from these people, these types, the... The mob. Yeah. It's pretty obvious now, looking back. Knowing that Parker owed... You couldn't have known. I could have. I didn't want to. I didn't think to. I guess I turned away from him. And now he's turning back. What do you mean? Just that... Just that coming back to Edwin's now. You know, without Parker. Right. Anyway, it looks like the door is coming up. cold stone steps lead down to a heavy door driver said we're to head past the bar downstairs to the left of the stage yeah you okay you're looking around as if you're waiting for someone no let's do this down the steps why'd you stop There's a lot that can go down in here.
I may not know Edwin or what he wants, but I do know his reputation. Killing you is easier than paying you. If he suspects- Let's not get ahead of ourselves. Let's just eat the elephant. One bite at a time. Okay? Okay. Yeah. Yeah, okay. Yeah, okay. You seem distracted. Back at the office, your heart was racing. I know, and yes, something... Something is... But I need to... I need a bit of time to sort it out myself before making it... Your problem, too. If this something you're keeping from me is dangerous, or a cause for... No, no, nothing like that. I don't think. As far as I can tell, it's... Terrifying, but not a threat. Just another ball to juggle. Okay. Well then, let us focus on now. Right. Okay. A thin staircase through a white painted brick passageway brings us down.
And opens to a large balcony... To our immediate left, perhaps seven feet from the stairs, is a long wood bar. with three well-dressed bartenders behind it making various drinks. To our right, filling this large balcony area, are a myriad of high-chance games, poker tables, craps tables, a variety of card games, each with their respective dealers, and security. Speaking of security, there's a heavyset goon to your left watching the front door. Let's keep moving. This area is large but overlooks the main floor below. Past the black wrought iron balcony railing is a stage and a dinner table area, almost theater-like, overlooking this smoke-filled lower level, where patrons eat and watch the live music.
Tonight there's a three-piece band that seems to be playing some standard jazz. How do we get down? To our left. There's a circular metal staircase past the bar here that connects this upper level with the lower. And on the main dinner floor below, I... I see a short hallway that leads to the left. That must lead to Edwin's office. Here, let's go. The men and women here are happily mingling. The whole club is alive with their youthful energy and style. Every man I see is wearing a tuxedo and the women are in dresses. Envious? Oh, lie. A bit. Hey, maybe if we do well with Edwin a night out wouldn't be... Don't be fooled. These are not our friends. These are villains. Judges who would rather buy a second house than bring justice to the family of a murdered child.
Police who line their pockets by looking the other way while criminals stomp their enemies to death. Lawyers who exploit and corrupt the law to let men like Edwin not only continue to exist, but to profit off every injustice. These are not the Saints of Arkham. They are rotten ticks, buried deep and draining the last of this city's decency and morality to feed their fat, already bloated bodies.
