Parker & Lane: Criminal Justice/Chapter One

This is the first chapter of Parker & Lane: Criminal Justice. It is where Detective Parker starts here!

## Prologue

* There was once a peaceful city upon a time. A jogger runs through the peaceful park. Until then... something was happened!
* A jogger screams.
* Meet Lily Parker, a rookie detective.
* Lily arrives to meet the officers.
* Officer turns around to see Parker.
* Lily gets an evidence.
* "Anxiety pills"
* Lily: Not today. Gotta stay sharp...
* Lily puts away into the jacket.

## Level 1

* The crime scene takes place on Shipyard.
* Lily: Good morning. What's the situation?
* Officer 1: Parker. Looks like this is your first crime scene. It's a strange one...
* Lily: It's Detective Parker. \*points at an officer\*
* Officer 2: Some jogger found half a dead body here at the shipyard.
* Lily: Did you say... half?
* Officer 1: You'll see. It's pretty messy, though. Maybe you should let someone else handle this one.
* Lily: Thanks for the warning, but I'll be fine.
* Officer 2: Suit yourself, detective. Are you sure you know what you're doing?

### During level

* Lily receives the supplies from the delivery.

### Outro

* Lily writes on the notepad. An officer appears from the left.
* Officer 1: ...never seen anything like it. I mean, how does that even happen?
* Officer 2: Beats me. What a mess... Glad I'm not in charge of this one.
* Officer 1: Yeah, but do you really think Parker can handle this?
* Lily: So, any updates on the case?
* An officer throws the doughnut to the ground.
* Officer 2: Detective Parker Ma'am! I didn't see you there.
* Officer 1: We don't have much. We can't even ID him until we lift that storage container.
* Lily: Figures. My first case couldn't be weirder...
* Lily: Okay, let's move that crane and see what's underneath that container.

## Cutscene: Opening

* The music plays as the montage of the criminal justice begins.

## Level 2

* The part of the body gone missing.
* Lily: Nothing? Seriously?
* Lily: Why would half the body be missing?
* Lily: That doesn't sound like an accident...
* Lily: I'd better think this through...
* Lily starts to think.
* Lily: One. We found a tattoo of a barcode on the body.
* Lily: A message, most likely.
* Lily: Two. The shipyard is owned by Colin Welsh. I hear he's running for senator.
* Lily: May be relevant, maybe not. We'll see.
* Lily: And three. Someone, somewhere, didn't want a face on that body.

### Outro

* Lily walks to the officer.
* Lily: Officer, I've got a favor to ask.
* Lily: Tight spaces aren't really my thing...
* Lily: Oh, you mean your claustro-
* Lily: Claustro...photo...
* Lily: I'm not claustro-anything.
* Lily: Just not a big fan of tiny, dark death traps.
* Officer: I'm on it.
* Lily: Thanks.
* Meet Victor Lane, a lawyer. At Lane's home, Lane appears from the right.
* Lane answers the call.
* Lane: Victor Lane, attorney.
* Lane: Are you sure you can afford me?
* Lane: Say nothing until I get there. Nothing. You understand?
* Lane: I'll be at the police station shortly.
* Lane is off to the police station.

## Level 3

* Officer 1: Got it! Phew, that was a tight squeeze.
* Officer 2: Is that a wallet?
* Officer 1: Yup. ID reads 'Justin Hall'.
* Lily: Justin Hall... doesn't ring any bells.
* Lily: Well, let's get digging. Have the... remains brought to Toxicology. Let's see what Stella has to offer.
* Meanwhile in Toxicology, Stella Duvall is on the laboratory with Parker.
* Stella: Parker, that was the worst surprise you've ever sent me.
* Lily: I'll send you half a box of chocolates next time.
* Lily: Anything you can tell me?
* Stella: Not a whole lot. The cause of death is probably whatever... separated his lower body from the rest of him.
* Stella: A shipping year would have plenty of heavy duty machinery capable of something like this.
* Stella: But we can't write anything off without an autopsy, which isn't possible.
* Lily disagrees.
* Lily: A dead end.
* Stella: Parker the punny!
* Lily: If you ever call me that again, I'll literally arrest you.

### Outro

* Chief Vasquez is speaking to Lane.
* Vasquez: Victor Lane. Can't say I'm happy to see you.
* Lane grins.
* Lane: Don't worry, I won't hold it against you.
* Vasquez: I assure you're here for Theo Madsen? You're his lawyer?
* Lane: Your detective skills remain as sharp as ever, Vasquez.
* Lily walks to another chair.
* Lane: I've reviewed the evidence, and there's simply not enough here to hold him.
* Vasquez: It may not be conclusive yet, but we're still running some tests-
* Lane: Innocent until proven guilty, chief. You know the rules.
* Lily gets closer to Lane.
* Lily: I still need to ask Madsen some questions-
* Lane: Vasquez, I didn't know you had a secretary. I'll take a coffee, love.
* Lily: Chief, I think you tracked some scum in on the bottom of your shoe.
* Lane: Oh! Feisty, aren't you? I like that in a-
* Vasquez: Lane, this is Detective Parker. You be civil. Both of you.
* Lane: Well then, my apologies Detective Parker. Send my client out, please. I'll be waiting outside.
* Lily: Listen up Lane, because I'll only say this once.
* Lily: If you disrespect me that way again, I'll break your arm handcuffing you.
* A client goes out of interrogation room and Lane is heading out of the station.
* Lily: Ugh, I feel slimy just standing in the same room as that guy...
* Vasquez goes back inside his room.

## Level 4

* The next day at the Police Station, Lily views at the case.
* Lily: Says here that Charlotte DeWitt was his psychiatrist in prison.
* Lily: Justin Hall, let's see... He was a truck driver, did some time for moving drugs.
* Lily: I should bring her in.
* **Mr. Colin Walsh** arrives at the station.
* Walsh: Chief Vasquez. A word in private, if you please...
* Vasquez: Mr. Walsh, thanks for stopping in. I know how busy you are with the upcoming election.
* Vasquez: We can talk in my office.
* Vasquez guides Walsh into the office.
* Lily calls Charlotte.
* Lily: Hi, is this **Ms. Charlotte Dewitt**?
* Charlotte: Yes, this is Ms. DeWitt. Who's calling?
* Lily: My name is Detective Parker. I had some questions for you about Justin Hall.
* Lily: Ms. DeWitt?
* Charlotte: Sorry, just thinking. I... do remember him. I was his psychiatrist.
* Lily: We've just found a body, with his wallet nearby. I'm sorry to say that Justin Hall has been killed. Possibly murdered.
* Lily: I'd like to ask you some questions. Can you come by the precinct today?
* Charlotte: Of... of course. I'll be there this afternoon.

### Outro

* Lily: Ms. DeWitt, thanks for coming in. What can you tell me about Justin?
* Charlotte: Justin is... well, was, one of my patients. I didn't know him well...
* Charlotte: They say he was transporting drugs, but I guess you already know that.
* Lily: What can you tell me about him?
* Charlotte: Well, he seemed like a decent man. Claimed he was innocent. Didn't socialize much...
* Lily: How about enemies, or friends?
* Charlotte: No, not at all. Justin Hall preferred to be alone, from what I remember.
* Vasquez releases Walsh from the office.
* Vasquez: Detective Parker! My office please.
* Lily: Sorry - looks like we'll have to pick this up another time.
* Charlotte: O-of course. Any time, Detective.
* Charlotte leaves the station. Lily comes to Vasquez.
* Walsh: She's too young, too inexperience and too liable to screw it up.
* Walsh: Right. I'll stop by some other time, Vasquez.
* Walsh leaves the station.
* Vasquez: That was Colin Walsh. Apparently he owns the shipyard.
* Vasquez: I'm going to take you off this one, Parker. It's too hot for a first case.
* Lily: But I can solve this Chief. I've got some leads already-
* Vasquez: Don't argue with me, Parker. It won't do you any good.
* Lily: Sir, with all due respect, I'm confident I can handle this case.
* Vasquez: My hands are tied, Detective! He's probably going to win a seat in the Senate. I can't ignore his request.
* Vasquez shuts his office door. Lily takes a pill.

## Level 5

* Ron, Lily's father, delivered the coffee and doughnuts.
* Ron: Little Lily... I mean, Detective Parker! I'm so proud of you.
* Lily: Thanks, Dad. It's good to see you, and your free coffee.
* Ron: I feel so used.
* Lily: How are you feeling, Dad? I've been so worried about you.
* Ron: Oh, I'm fine. I'm just getting old. It's no fun, I can tell you that!
* Ron drinks and eats the doughnut.
* Lily: Dad. You had a heart attack-
* Ron: Oh stop worrying about me, and start telling me about you! The precinct's first female detective tackles her first case!
* Ron drinks the coffee.
* Lily: Well, it's a little complicated...
* Ron: If you put your mind to it, anything's possible.
* Lily: Thanks, Dad. I don't know if I can live up to this badge you gave me, though...
* Ron: You've already lived up to it, and more. You managed to earn your own badge, and make detective too!
* Ron: It's still a man's world around here sometimes, and you proved them all wrong.
* Ron eats a doughnut and drinks coffee.
* Lily: Thanks, Dad. I'll do my best.
* Ron: I know you will. I'm so proud of you, you know.
* Ron leaves the station.

### Outro

* Meanwhile at the Irish Pub, Lily arrives at the pub, meeting Stella.
* Stella: There she is, looking every bit the mysterious detective!
* Stella: So. First day on the job. How'd it go?
* Lily: I'm already off the case.
* Stella: What!? Why?
* Lily: Politics, I guess. Colin Walsh talked to Vasquez. He's running for senator, and didn't want anyone asking any questions about his shipyard...
* Stella: Are you serious? I hate politicians...
* Lily: Tell me about it...
* Stella: How about that Victor Lane, though? Kinda cute, if you ask me.
* Lily: That was sarcasm, right? He's such a...
* Stella: Successful lawyer? Charmingly tall and handsome man? I know, just the worst!
* Stella: That was sarcasm, by the way. So you'll recognize it next time.
* Lily: You're shameless! He's the enemy!
* Stella: Only during working hours. Right now, I'd say he's fair game.
* Lily: That's a game you'll be playing alone. I'm out - good seeing you Stella.
* Stella: Suit yourself.
* Lily is heading out of the Pub. The gentleman is leaving.

## Cutscene

* Lily is seeing the criminal. She gets the pills from her jacket.
* But then, it rains. There's an evil guy spotted behind Parker!
* Guy: Hey baby, going somewhere?
* Lily turns around.
* Lily: None of your business.
* A guy gets closer to Lily.
* Guy: Come on now, no need to be like that.
* A guy is doing strange.
* Guy: Pretty girl like you shouldn't be walking home alone...
* Lily: I can take care of myself just fine. You should just leave me alone.
	+ Last warning.
* Guy: Now you're just being rude.
* Lily turns away and tried to go, but the guy stabs Lily behind.
* Guy: You're going to regret that.
* Lily pushes him away.
* Lily: I doubt it.
* A guy has a gun! Lily blocks it!
* Guy: You'll show me some RESPECT!
* It's getting intense!
* Lily has to interact! She grabs his hand!
* She shakes his arm! The gun dropped to the ground!
* She kicked his guy outta here!
* The guy runs away.

## Level 6

* Vasquez: Parker, I've got a new case. Another body, this time at the gym.
* Lily: Odd place for a body.
* Vasquez: It might have been an accident. Why don't you go see what you can find out.
* Lily: On my way.
* Lily enters the gym and spotted the dead body.
* Lily: I never believed in karma...
* Lily: Can't say I'm happy to see you again. But there's no sign of any violence...
* Lily: I'd better take a look around.

### Outro

* Lily: Officer, I'm gonna need Victor Lane down here.
* Officer 2: Yes, ma'am. I'm on it.
* Lily: I'm not a ma'am. I'm a detective. Tell Lane that **Logan McDurmont** is dead.
* Officer 2: Yes, ma'am detective.
* Lane answers the call.
* Lane: Victor Lane.
* Lane: I'm sorry, I'm not on call right now. She can contact my office tomorrow-
* Lane: You can't be serious...
* Lane: Daisy, I'm sorry love. I've got to go.
* Daisy: Daaaaad! You said today was MY day!
* Lane: I owe you big time, little Daisy. That means ice cream.
* Daisy: You can't buy your way out of this one, mister!
* Lane smiles.

## Level 7

* Lane arrives at the gym.
* Lane: Today was my day off.
* Lily: Meed a shoulder to cry on?
* Parker and Lane approach to Logan.
* Lane: Jeez. Logan, what happened to you?
* Lily: We don't know yet. But I know you were with him just last night.
* Lane: Yeah, but he seemed fine. I don't understand.
* Lily: Me either, but I'm suspicious. What was he involved with, Lane?
* Lane: Nothing that should have gotten him killed.
* Lily: He threatened me last night, did you know that?
* Lane: Logan did? He must have had a reason, he's not so bad-
* Lily: Not so bad? He threatened to kill me!
* Lily: And you defend people like this! What's wrong with you?
* Lane: Justice needs lawyers as much as it needs detectives, Parker. You should know better.
* Lily: Let's take a look around, and you can tell me what you know.

### Outro

* Lily writes down on the case. Victor appears from the left, and a man with the package appeared.
* Man: Detective? Logan received a package this morning. I thought you may want to see it...
* Lily: Thanks, bring it over here please.
* It says 'guilty'.
* Lane: The plot thickens...
* Lily: Strange. Why risk sending this? We may have decided it was natural causes!
* Lane: Whoever did it wants to send a message.
* Lily: A killer with a cause. The most dangerous kind...
* Lane: Poor Logan. No one deserves this...
* Lily: Let's keep looking.

## Level 8

* Lily thinks about the case.
* Lily: Here's what we know. First, he tried to kill me last night.
* Lily: Second, someone thought he was guilty.
* Lane: And they wanted us to know about it.
* Lily: Right. And third, we know whoever did it must've come here...
* Lane approaches to Parker.
* Lane: Are you sure you're... qualified for this?
* Lily: Pardon me if I doubt your ability to judge character.
* Lily: You recently departed friend here tried to kill me yesterday!
* Lane: Logan was a client, not a-
* Lily: Logan was a monster, and only a monster would defend him!
* Lily walks around.
* Lily: Cameras. There must be security cameras.
* Lily: Do you have any security footage from last night?
* Man: Of course! Right this way.
* Lily: Lane, go with him while I stay here and investigate.
* Lane and a man leave the gym.

### Outro

* In the security footage, Lily appears.
* Lane: It just doesn't make sense. No one else even entered the room he was in.
* Lily: Unless there's another way in...
* Lily: Whoever did this is planning everything out. Covering their tracks.
* Lane: So why send that sign? Without that, this would be a perfect crime.
* Lily: That is strange...
* Lane: So, what's next? Can I go now?
* Lily: Not yet. You're still the last person to see him alive.
* Lane: Actually, I think you were-
* Lily: Let's look around for another way in. A window maybe, or a vent?
* Lane: Fine. Let's get this over with, detective.

## Level 9

* Lily: Any luck?
* Lane: Nothing. No vents, no windows, and no doors.
* Lily: There's a window over here, but it's locked tight.
* Lane: From the inside?
* Lily: Of course from the inside. Who makes a window that locks from the outside?
* Lane: Alright, alright. So one window, locked. That's not much to go on.
* Lily: More like nothing at all. This is such a strange case...
* Lane: I don't imagine you have much to compare it to-
* Lily: Oh, shut up Lane.
* Lane leaves the gym.

### Outro

* Lane appears.
* Lily: Another dead end... except for this 'GUILTY' sign.
* Lane: Are we done here? I've got places to be-
* Lily: Not yet Lane. You'll be coming back to the station with me.
* Lily: You mess around with that tie too much.
* Lane: You waste my time too much.
* Lily: Like you have anything else to do!
* Lane: Don't pretend to know me, Parker. You haven't got a clue.
* Lane: Let's just get this over with.
* Lily: Fine. We'll head out - after we've had one last quick look around.

## Level 10

* Lily: Aha! Finally, a clue!
* Lane: Oh yeah? What did you find?
* Lily: You're not going to like this at all.
* Lane: You know, you could be nice-
* Lane thinks about the evidence.
* Lane: Sunshine pills! Your friend Madsen just became suspect number one.
* Lane: My clients aren't my friends, Parker. And you're assuming Madsen's involvement.
* Lily: We'll see about that. Let's go to Madsen's pharmacy. I've got questions.
* Lane: Best day off ever. Poor Daisy...
* Lily: Daisy? Who's Daisy?
* Lane: None of your business, Parker. Let's go.
* Lane leaves the gym.

### Post-chapter

* In the pharmacy, there's another dead body.
* Lily: No way...
* Lane: We're too late. Poor Theo...
* Lane: What the heck is going on here?
* Lily: We'll have to let Chief Vasquez know about this before we investigate.
* Lane: At this rate I'll be out of clients by the end of the week...
* Meanwhile at the Police Station...
* Vasquez: So you found some Sunshine polls, and went after Madsen. And now Madsen's dead too?
* Lily: There's something big going on here Chief. Look at this sign...
* It has a sign of 'guilty'.
* Vasquez: Another strange case. You've had one heck of a first week, Parker.
* Lily: Tell me about it. I brought Lane in too. He was with Logan last night.
* Vasquez: Strange coincidence, Lane. Two deaths, both your clients.
* Vasquez: Parker, you're going to have to team up with Lane for now. He's at the center of all this.
* Lily: But sir... he's just a lawyer. He isn't a detective-
* Vasquez: Lane, we'll pay your usual rate for your advice as a consultant.
* Lily: But sir-
* Vasquez: Tag along with Parker for now, and be helpful.
* Lane: My usual rate is pretty high for this kind of work-
* Lane: And your secretary slash detective here doesn't like me much.
* Lily: Do you hear this guy, sir!? He's a self-centered pig.
* Vasquez: That's enough! This is your job, and I expect you to get it done.
* Lily: Chief, I don't think you've thought this through-
* Vasquez: Detective Parker, you'll work with Lane, or you'll work somewhere else!
