Grace Gunn, Tommy “Bam Bam” Prue and Irving Holt didn’t expect to find themselves sneaking around the Three Spires Country Club this evening in their effort to rescue Trixie from whomever it was that took here – yet, that’s exactly where they find themselves. But even though this wasn’t in their plans, when you put a private Jane, an ex-con-turned-boxer-on-the-mend and a back alley camera jockey together… you’re probably going to get a few sneaky moves. Let’s hope these three can find the dame their looking for, and fast. Because something tells me, with everything they’ve been through in the last few hours, Trixie’s clock is likely ticking down.

Used to be a time when you could get by on your word and a handshake. While that might still be true for some things, here in Chicago, you get a whole truckload of palooks who want to justify their existence with all kinds of paperwork. Sign this document. Fill out this form and Boom! You exist. Or you get to own that thing you just bought. Of course, on the flip side of this, you get plenty of people who take those papers and turn them to their advantage. Duplicate this form, change a few lines and Boom! You’re someone else or you now own that thing you just stole. And while Grace Gunn, Tommy ‘Bam Bam’ Prue and Irving Holt don’t need those kind of services, they do want to know who owns a slick set of wheels that just sped off with Trixie. And as usual, Grace knows a guy. But where that information takes them, might be a place they didn’t expect.

Right place, wrong time. Wrong place, right time. Doesn’t matter how you slice it, there’s some places you don’t ever want to be, regardless of the time. And in 1933 Chicago, that place is a speakeasy when the coppers are on the hop. And right now, that’s where Grace Gunn, Tommy ‘Bam Bam’ Prue and Irving Holt find themselves. While trying to find Trixie, some cultists and… well something else decided to crash their party. And now the party’s over. Let’s hope this isn’t their last call.

You ask 10 people what you should do if you get into a tussle, you’re bound to get 11 answers. Regardless of what you’re told, you ultimately gotta know what you want to get out of the fight. And right now, Grace Gun, Tommy ‘Bam Bam’ Prue and Irving Holt just want to get out of the speakeasy they’re in, with their precious cargo of Trixie in tow. Of course, that also means that Stanley needs to follow. And this palook Fredrich that was trading some evening pleasantries with Grace? Well he probably wants to scram too. It’s time to settle in and see what happens.

Affairs of the heart are a wonderful thing. Of course, that is if you want to call all the unreturned affection from the one you love, because they love someone else wonderful. At that point, Affairs of the Heart become more like, ‘Affairs of the Hurt.’ And our trio of Grace Gun, Tommy ‘Bam Bam’ Prue and Irving Holt are about to find that the woman they’ve been seeking – Trixie, or if you want to use the name her mother calls her – Beatrice, may have more men seeking her affection than Clara Bow at a red carpet gala. Let’s hope that they’re all ready for the attention and spotlights…

Here’s hopin’…

Just because a law says you can’t do something, doesn’t mean everyone is gonna obey. A quick glace at all the underground speakeasys here in Chicago will show that real quick. People want to get together with a little social lubrication, or truth serum, or if you want to use the technical term – alcohol and unwind. Of course, then they drink to much, get wound up and do things which makes laws like prohibition come around. Sun goes up, sun goes down.

And right now, the sun is down and our trio is headed to a Speakeasy known as the Bellyache. Apparently the dearly departed Leo Helzberg and his side gal, Trixie went there a lot. Speaking of Trixie, the gang is trying to find her before she ends up like Leo.

Here’s hopin’…

Telephones are funny things. It’s the only device where you get all the benefits of your personal voice, without having to look the other palook in the eye. If facy, you could be miles away. Especially when it comes to bad news. And both Grace Gunn and Irving Holt are gonna have to deliver some tough news over the phone, now that they’ve left the bloody and frightening scene at the Blackstone. They’ve found Leo Helzberg, or what’s left of him – and now it’s time to make the call. At least they won’t have to look anyone in the face.

And what about Tommy ‘Bam Bam’ Prue? Well, sometimes it pays to have more brawn than brains between your ears.

The Great Depression is hitting most folks harder than right hook from Louis, and more often than not, leaving them three times as dizzy. It’s not an easy thing when your a hard working man or woman to set your pride aside and ask the nearest Joe or Jane for a helping hand. So when you can get a few dollars you want to keep them. And when you get a hot meal you want to keep it square in your gut. And with what Grace Gunn, Tommy “Bam Bam” Prue and Irving Holt are about to find in this hotel room, they might be taking a second look at their breakfast.

Like a dog sniffing around the butcher’s for some scraps, Grace Gunn, Tommy “Bam Bam” Prue are Irving Holt know damn well they’re getting closer to finding out what happened to Leo Helzberg, and possibly even the woman he was seeing on the side. It all comes down to knowing where to go, and fortunately for our trio – they know. They just need to get there to see what scraps might have been left behind. And just like you might suspect, the place they’re headed – just like Leo’s marriage – used to shine like one of the diamond necklaces in his shop. But now, there’s a tarnish to that silver and that diamond may have lost its lustre.
