Chapter 145 : A Quiet Gunshot - Page 78 - Wife: I didn't hear any gunshots. Husband: No... I swear... I heard a gunshot. Wife: Nobody in this town has a gun. If anyone did, it would be that drunk out back. Husband: If he was shooting back there, it would be much louder. Besides, you know that lush couldn't hit anything. Woman: Missed again... Look what you did! You jinxed me and I just lost again!! Husband: Don't blame that on me, woman! Why don't you just stop buying lottery tickets?! - Page 79 - Hirman: (hahh)(hahh) LUDWIG!! LUUUUDWIIG!! Owner: What's wrong, Mrs. Hirman? Hirman: I'll tell you what's wrong!! My little Ludwig... Ludwig is gone!! And you heard that gunshot, didn't you?! What if my baby Ludwig... was... - Page 80 - Owner: Please, settle down, Mrs. Hirman. There were no gunshots. Calm yourself. Woman: What's the matter?! Owner: Ah... well, this woman's dog has gone missing... Woman: Ohh... Man: That's always worrying. Owner: I'll call the police... Hirman: I already went to the police!! But you can't count on that man to do anything. He's useless. He hates Ludwig so much, he goes out of his way to avoid us on walks. How could any officer avoid my sweet Ludwig... Grimmer: Shall I look for him? - Page 81 - Owner: Huh...? Don't worry yourself, Mr. Neumayer. Grimmer: I'd only be wandering around the town, anyways. What kind of dog is he, ma'am...? Man: Yes, I know the Hirmans' dog quite well. Damn things never shuts its yap. Grimmer: He's gone missing. Have you seen him? - Page 82 - Man: No, I haven't. Grimmer: I see. Thank you... Oh... One more thing... Have you come across any unfamiliar or suspicious people in town lately? Man: I have. Grimmer: Ooh. Man: You. Bergbach: ...dog? Here I was, thinking I actually had business for once. Grimmer: Sorry, I'm staying at the Versteck Hotel... - Page 83 - Bergbach: Yeah, he takes all my customers... I ought to tell the tourism board to send some people my way. Grimmer: ...which means... there's nobody in your hotel... Bergbach: Not a one. It's a quiet life. So believe me, if that noisy dog was around, I'd know in a hurry. Grimmer: Did you hear him barking today? Bergbach: No, I didn't. Maybe... You heard that sound like a gunshot, right? Maybe some degenerate decided he'd had enough of the mutt and shot it. - Page 84 - Grimmer: Oh, hello there. Uh...? Lunge: It's Lunge, Mr. Neumayer. Grimmer: Ah... and where are you headed, Mr. Lunge? Lunge: I'm looking for the dog. Grimmer: Ah, I see. Any clues? Leads? Lunge: No... Grimmer: Then the search continues. - Page 85 - Bottle: (craaaash) Drunk: Boooze! Get me boooooze!! Wim: No, Dad, you can't drink anymore!! Drunk: Go out and buy me s'm BOOOOZE!! - Page 86 - Wim: I don't have any money!! Drunk: I know you got money from workin' at that hotel!! Now don't come back 'til you got somethin' for me to drink!! Wim: Maybe I can buy a bottle... Owner: It's okay, Wim... You earned that money... - Page 87 - Owner: Looks like you had another rough day. C'mon, let's go to my hotel. Grimmer: This is great!! - Page 88 - Girl: Hahaha... Grimmer: Hmm? Girl: Not many people act like it's that good. Grimmer: Really? But good food is good food!! Girl: Hahaha!! It's just a sausage, you don't have to get so excited... Grimmer: This face... is my "yummy" face. Girl: Huh? Grimmer: This is a nice town. It's quiet and it's got good food. Girl: Really...? I wanna get out of this town. I'm just waiting for the perfect guy to come and take me away from this place. Grimmer: Seen any perfect guys lately? - Page 89 - Girl: Nope. Just the same old boring faces. Grimmer: By the way, about this dog... Girl: I've taken that dog for walks before. Grimmer: Walks...? Girl: When Mrs. Hirman was in bed with a cold, I helped her by walking the dog. I gave it one of our deli's Eisbein bones and it went nuts. Just kept pulling me like there was no tomorrow... Grimmer: Where did it take you? Car: (screek) Officer: Ah, Inspector Lunge! - Page 90 - Officer: Just like you said, we've got a disaster on our hands. A dog has gone missing. Lunge: Did you hear... any gunshot noises? Officer: Oh, that wasn't a gunshot. A car was stuck on the highway. That was the sound of the engine backfiring, I'm sure. You don't hear any gunshots in this town. Missing dogs are as bad as it gets. Bye! - Page 91 - Grimmer: (msh) (fsh)(fsh) Whoa!! Crow: (kaww kaww) Grimmer: Trust me, you don't wanna scare me. (fsh) There you are... - Page 92 - Grimmer: Ludwig. Ludwig: (chew chew) Grimmer: You've been causing problems... So you remembered where you buried the bone, eh? Ludwig: (chew chew) Twig: (snap) - Page 93 - Grimmer: Well, hello Mr. Lunge. It seems we've arrived at the same place through different clues. Aren't you amazed, Ludwig? Lunge: What are you doing... in this town...? Grimmer: What are YOU doing here? Aren't you a detective? I could tell. You've got that air around you... - Page 94 - Lunge: I'm just on vacation... Grimmer: Those eyes don't say you're on a vacation... Lunge: I was just in Prague, see... And I heard information about a man involved in a certain incident... A tall man with a large bag... Friendly, pleasant smile... blond hair... (tap tap tap) You're exactly the same as the data in my head, Mr. Neumayer... No... Mr. Grimmer. - Page 95 - Grimmer: Why are you here? It seems that we really have arrived at the same place from entirely different clues. Am I wrong? Do you think you can stop it? - Page 96 - Grimmer: The terrible massacre... that is going to happen to this town... - Chapter 145 End -
