About a few hours had passed since the salmonids were successfully fended away from Barnacle & Dime. Dapple had made their way to the Grizzco meeting room, as per Mr. Grizz’s request.
“So what’s the deal with the Big Run results?” Dapple asked, sitting across from Mr. Grizz.
“They were.. disappointing.” Mr. Grizz huffed. “We still managed to fend off the salmonids, but that thing from Marooner’s Bay was there. It put up a tough fight.”
“I’m.. sure it did.” Dapple sighed, imagining The Undaunted Guardian in-combat during the Big Run. A slight grin found its way toward Dapple’s mouth.
“I suppose during the influx of employees coming in for Big Run, the helicopter hijacker wasn’t able to do anything. At least we know the trackers work, though.”
“Yes! That is.. very good!”
“We still have a lot of work to do finding this thief. Be on the lookout while you’re off-shift.”
“You got it, Grizz!”
“Excellent. & by the way..”
As Mr. Grizz stood up from his seat, he passed a meal ticket over to Dapple.
“You did good this Big Run. Get yourself something nice to eat.”
Taking the meal ticket & nodding, Dapple watched as Mr. Grizz left the room.
“Oh boy.” they sighed, stuffing the ticket into their pocket. “This is gonna be a hard secret to keep.”
