Parker & Lane: Criminal Justice/Chapter Two

This is the second chapter in Parker and Lane: Criminal Justice.

## Level 11

* The crime scene takes place at Pharmacy.
* Lane: You just can't stand still, can you?
* Lily: What's it to you, Lane? I don't even know why you're here.
* Lane: You're doubting my qualifications? That's pretty ironic...
* Lily: What's that supposed to mean?
* Lily: You're disgusting, Lane. Now shut up, I'm thinking. One of us has to figure this out...
* Lily: Here's what we know. Theo and Logan both end up dead, with 'GUILTY' signs at the crime scene.
* Lane: Cause of death, unknown.
* Lily: Maybe being represented by a pig instead of a lawyer has something to do with it.
* Lane: What are you implying, Parker?
* Lily: The only other connection between them is the fact that you represented them both!
* Lane: That's a ridiculous argument, and you know it. Completely circumstantial.
* Lane: Anyway, enough banter. Let's get this over with
* Lane is now on duty.

### Outro

* Lily: We need to know why these killings are happening! We need a motive that connects them.
* Lane: Maybe a vigilante of some sort? Otherwise why leave these signs?
* Lily: The 'GUILTY' signs do make these killings feel personal.
* Lily: Theo Madsen and Logan McDurmon probably had plenty of enemies...
* Lane: Why do you say that?
* Lily: Because they were criminals!
* Lane: You're awfully quick to point fingers, Parker. That's not good detective work you know.
* Lily: If you tell me how to do my job one more time, I swear...
* Lane: I'll be the next one holding the 'GUILTY' sign?
* Lily: That's not funny, Lane.
* Lane: Just evening the score.
* Lily disagrees.

## Level 12

* Lily: We can't crack this case without more information.
* Lane: What do you suggest?
* Lily: It's a pharmacy. There must be some security cameras around here.
* Lane agrees.
* Lane: There are cameras everywhere these days.
* Parker looks around.
* Lily: There! That camera's pointing right where Madsen's body was found!
* Lane: Looks like a good place to start.

### During level

* Parker checks if the cameras are functioning.

### Outro

* Lily: Got the footage! As long as that camera was running, we should be able to see exactly what happened.
* Lane: Finally, some answers. I'm tired of playing detective.
* Lily: 'Playing' detective? Is this a game to you?
* Lane: Relax, Parker. Everything's a game to me.
* Lily: If we're lucky, maybe we'll be able to find out more about the Sunshine pills too.
* Lane: Why do you always assume the worst of everybody?
* Lane: The guy's dead, and you're still trying to throw him in jail!
* Lily: Well, why do you defend people who are clearly criminals!?
* Lane disagrees.
* Lane: Let's just look at the tape and get this over with.

## Level 13

* Lane: This is amazingly boring. It's even worse than law school.
* Lane: Can't we just skip through?
* Lily: We're not watching this for fun, Lane.
* Lane: I can't imagine you doing anything for fun.
* Lily: Sounds like you could use a bit more imagination then.
* Lane: I'm sure Madsen has some prescription drugs for that. Let's see...
* Lily: You're not as funny as you think you are, Lane. We have serious work to do!
* Lily: Now stop distracting me. I need to focus.

### Outro

* Lily: There! Pause it!
* Lane: Oh, right! Got it.
* Lily: Look at that! He walks out of the frame empty handed-
* Lane: And back in with a package in his hands!
* Lily: But there's no one else there...
* Lane: You're right, it's just Madsen. Is he choking?
* Lily: Maybe - or perhaps he's having a heart attack, or a stroke?
* Parker couldn't prove that.
* Lily: Could be poison.
* Lane: That's a scary thought.
* Lily: We'll have to wait for Stella to do an autopsy. Maybe she'll find some trace chemicals.
* Lane: She's the pretty one, right?
* Lily: You're such a pig.
* Lane: I'll take that as a 'yes'.
* Lily: Let's keep looking around. There must be something else...

## Level 14

* Lily: So far, I think that package is our best lead.
* Lane: I agree. We can use the barcode to find out who delivered it.
* Lily: Good idea. Maybe we can figure out the sender too.
* Lane: Still, it feels like a pretty weak lead...
* Lily: Madsen was hiding something, I'm sure of it...
* Lane: Maybe, maybe not. You'll have to prove it.
* Lily: We'll have to prove it, Lane. You're on our payroll at the moment, you know.
* Lane: I'm here to find out the truth. Not who to blame.
* Lily doesn't mind.

### During level

* Parker has to keep the suspect our of crime scene.

### Outro

* Lily: Lane! Over here! Oh my...
* The secret safe is revealed!
* Lily: Look at all this money!
* Lane: Well, that's what vaults are for. Storing valuables, right?
* Lily: But where did Madsen get all this cash?
* Lane: The same way as most people, probably. Making more money than he spends...
* Lily: And storing it all in cash? Seems fishy. Why not use a bank?
* Lane doesn't use it.
* Lane: He said he doesn't trust banks. I don't blame him, to be honest.
* Lily: Are you seriously telling me this isn't weird to you?
* Lane: Not at all. Having a vault is perfectly legal. And banks have been pretty irresponsible lately...
* Lily: Well, I think that's paranoia. There's something more to all of this...

## Level 15

* Lane: Hey Parker, check this out...
* Lilly approaches to the open cabinet.
* Lily: What did you find?
* Lane: It's this scale... it's off balance.
* Lily: Yeah, so what?
* Lane: I guess it's just an instinct. Madsen was a perfectionist.
* Lily: A useful skill for a pharmacist.
* Lane: Exactly! I just don't think he'd use a broken scale.
* Lily: It's probably nothing. Let's keep looking...

### Outro

* Lane interacts with the scale.
* Lily: Lane! Stop messing around with that stupid scale and-
* Lane: Hah! I knew it!
* The stairs are lowered to open the way to the basement.
* Parker approaches to the stairs.
* Lily: A trap door! Now that's suspicious...
* Lily: Looks like your boy was hiding something, Lane!
* Lane: Don't go turning this into a win for you. I found the trap door!
* Lily: Yeah, yeah, alright. Nice find, Lane.
* Lane agrees.
* Lane: Thank you. And it does appear Madsen was hiding something...
* Lily: Right. Well... thanks. Let's just get on with it.

## Level 16

* Parker takes a pill.
* Lane: I didn't figure you for a pill popper.
* Lily: I didn't figure you for a detective.
* Lane laughs.
* Lane: So, what's the story? What are those pills for?
* Lily: Remember that time you minded your own business?
* Lane: Doesn't sound like me... When was that?
* Lily: Right now.
* Lane: Touchy, touchy. Fair enough, we all have out secrets.
* Lily: Are least my secret doesn't require a trapdoor. You first, then.
* Lane: You'd better not lock me in here.
* Lily: Now there's an idea...
* They enter the basement.

### Outro

* Lily: Ugh... It smells disgusting in here.
* Lane agrees.
* Lane: This is a seriously creepy room. Madsen... what were you doing in here?
* Lily: Look at all these tiny cages. For animals, most likely. Mice maybe?
* Lane: Yeah, for testing drugs. Experimenting. It's a secret laboratory.
* Lane: I feel like I'm in a TV show or something.
* Lily: I won't argue with you on that.
* Lane: That's a first...
* Parker gets frowned.
* Lily: Would it kill you to be nice for once?
* Lily: Look around you! These are the people you defend!
* Lane: That isn't fair, everyone deserves-
* Lily: Don't you hide behind that! If you won Madsen's case, he'd be right back here.
* Lily: Torturing mice, and probably poisoning people, with whatever chemical creations he's playing with in here!
* Lane: Oh yeah? And what about the innocent people you've thrown in a cage! A cage just like these!
* Lily: That's not the point-
* Lane: Enough. Let's keep this professional and just do our jobs.
* Lily: Fine. Professional. Let's see what Madsen's been hiding in here...

## Level 17

* Lily: There are tons of chemicals in here...
* Lane: Yeah... I don't even recognize half of this stuff...
* Lily: We need to figure out why he was doing all of this.
* Lily: What was his motivation? Building this secret lab couldn't have been easy.
* Lane: Or cheap...
* Lane: If he invested a good deal of money, he probably expected to make it back.
* Lily: As much as I hate being in here, I think we need to look around some more...

### Outro

* Lily: Finally, proof of Madsen's involvement with the Sunshine pills!
* Lily: I told you he was involved!
* Lane agrees.
* Lane: Looks like you were right. We should test these at the lab just to be safe.
* Lily: So the 'GUILTY' signs, at least in this case, seem to be right.
* Lane: That vigilante theory might be closer to the mark than we thought.
* Lily: Maybe. Usually in drug related cases, the competition tries to take each other out.
* Lane: You think there were multiple suppliers for the Sunshine polls?
* Lily: I think we can't rule it out.

## Level 18

* Lily: Lane, come over here for a second. See if you can lift this barrel.
* Lane: Why, what's in it?
* Lily: Some chemicals. Probably an ingredient for the drug.
* Lane tries to lift the barrel.
* Lane: Nope. Too heavy.
* Lily: And you're a pretty broad-shouldered strong guy. Stronger than Madsen...
* Lane: Miss Parker, are you flirting with me?
* Lily: Ugh, please...
* Lane: Cute little lady like yourself, I'm not complaining-
* Lily: One more word, Lane, and I'll break your arm.
* Lane: Yeah right, like you could - what with my 'broad shoulders' and all-
* Parker threatens to break Lane's arm.
* Lane: Okay, okay! I yield!
* Lily: There will be respect between us, Lane. Do you understand me?
* Lane: Respect goes two ways, Parker.
* Lane: Damn. I ripped my suit...
* Lily: You're such a girl.
* Lily: If you couldn't lift the barrel alone, neither could Madsen. That means he had help.

### During the level

* Parker collects samples from the barrel.

### Outro

* Lane: I'm going to try to hack into his laptop.
* Lane: If he had help, maybe we can find his contacts on here.
* Lily: Good idea - but be careful.
* Lane: Careful? It's just a laptop! What could go wrong?
* Lily: Just be careful, Lane. Madsen was clearly paranoid.
* Lane: Let's try this.
* Lane uses a laptop.
* Lane: Or maybe this...
* Lane continues using it.
* Lily: That's not a good idea, Lane-
* Lane: Nope. Third time's the charm-
* Lane uses the laptop until it explodes. Parker laughs.
* Lily: That was... hilarious. And very stupid.
* Lane: Holy crap! That was... that was insane! But I'm fine... I think.
* Lily: Now that I know you're fine...
* Parker grins.
* Lily: Ah, I enjoyed that. Maybe a little too much. Wish I'd filmed it now - I'd watch it over and over...
* Lane: Right, well... At least somebody enjoyed it.
* Lily: I'll keep looking around while you tame that wild hair of yours...

## Level 19

* Lily: This lab is full of ingredients and formula.
* Lily: I think Madsen was more than just a dealer.
* Lane: Vertically integrated?
* Lily: Speak English, Lane.
* Lane laughs.
* Lane: Right, well, it means that he invents it, makes it and sells it.
* Lily: Exactly. This is a big find - maybe the key to stopping this Sunshine drug for good.
* Lane: Don't forget, we're here to investigate a murder.
* Lily: I didn't forget. Let's collect everything up - there might be another clue around here somewhere.

### Outro

* Lily: So here's what we know so far.
* Lily thinks about the case.
* Lily: Madsen's been cooking up this drug in his basement. Maybe for years.
	+ He was also killed, probably murdered.
* Lane agrees.
* Lane: He went the same way as Logan McDurmon.
* Lily: Exactly. Both bodies were found with the 'GUILTY' sign.
* Lane: And both people recently received an anonymous package.
* Lily: Right. So let's drop off the evidence at the station...
* Lane: Then chase down the delivery man or woman, and ask them some questions.
* Lily: And most importantly, let's get the heck out of this creepy basement!
* Parker and Lane are hedding out of the basement. They leave the pharmacy to get to Police Station.

## Level 20

* At the Police Station, there are some progress made.
* Lane: Madsen may have been guilty, but he deserved a good defense.
* Lily: But how could you defend someone like that?
* Lane: It's my job, Parker. Everyone has the right to an attorney.
* Lily: I forgot about Justin Hall...
* Lily: I'm still pissed Vasquez took me off that case.
* Lane: Did you say Justin Hall?
* Lily: Why... do you know him?
* Lane: No, just curious. Shall we bring in that delivery man?
* Lily: Good idea. Stella can process the evidence while we're out.
* Lane: Let's go.
* They're off to work.

### Post-chapter

* Lane with the delivery guy appear.
* Lily: I'm Detective Parker. May I ask you a few questions?
* Delivery: O-of course, detective.
* Lane: I'm Victor Lane, an attorney. Thanks for coming in and helping us out.
* Delivery: Sure, no problem. What can I do for you?
* Lily: You delivered two packages we're interested in.
* Lily: One was to Logan McDurmon, and the other for Theo Madsen.
* Delivery: I did. Both packages were exactly the same size and weight.
* Delivery: I assumed they came from the same place...
* Lane: Was there a return address?
* Delivery: No, there wasn't Which was odd...
* Lily: Was there any other similar packages?
* Delivery: Yeah. There was one more, actually. Sent to this address...
* Delivery guy has a paper.
* Lane: I think that's Logan's home address...
* Lily: But he already received his package, at the gym.
* Lane: His sister! He mentioned he lives with his sister! We have to go, right now!
* Lily: Let's go.
