Intro
Excuse me, you're a journalist, aren't you?
With those words, the man took a slip of paper from his pocket. He slid it toward you. Only an address and a time were written there.
A theft will occur here tonight.
...What?
Guest looks at the man's face suspiciously.
How do you know something like that?
Who knows? I am an informant, after all.
He puffs on his cigarette and smiles meaningfully.
