Three years have passed. And nothing has changed.
Sure, you found the treasure. And yeah, it was valuable. But you haven't really done anything with all of your money. Your life is much as it was before you set out on your last grand adventure.
It almost makes you wonder what the point was. It's not like you even stopped de Barone for good, you just kept the Sea Pendant out of his clutches. He's still got his wealth and his corporation, he'll just move on to other nefarious schemes.
Well. It's not your job to worry about everything he does. You're only thwarting his treasure-hunting, not his aggressive mergers or his bribery. And he's stayed quiet on the treasure front, at least for now.
You almost wish he wasn't. It's been a long time since you had a lead on something.
The phone rings. For a moment, you wonder if your luck's about to change, but it's probably just the landlord.
You pick up and answer.
"This is George," says the voice on the other end.
George! He never calls you unless he's onto something real big. What could it be?

There's no reason for this | Or this | Death is inevitable | You can't challenge fate | The smallest change | I'm overwhelmed
I'm serious | It makes perfect sense | Easy as ABC! | I can't even explain it | Cleaning up someone else's mess
I suck | I rule | I've got it made | Really, I'm serious | This bugs me | It's all lies | I want to believe | Beauty is a curse
