"Guess it won't hurt to talk to 'em, I suppose", she pondered. "Where can I find one of them?"

"Oh, wow. That was sneaky. Never heard you get close", she noted, smiling. "Alright... look. I got this penguin guy who showed up at my shop yesterday, just out of town. He asked me to get his truck repaired and upgraded for a demolition derby he wanted to participate in, and gave me a phone number to get back to him when I'd be done. So I finished up this morning, and called'em. When I spoke to him, he seemed pleased and said he'd come over as soon as he was done with some 'debt'. Then I heard an impact, like a punch or something, and the line went dead", she explained, giving them the number, and a description of the truck.
"I waited to see if he'd show up, but he didn't for a whole day, so now I'm thinking something bad happened to him. I don't know where he was or what he was doing, but yeah, maybe you can use that number to track his phone, or identify who it is with the vehicle and maybe figure things out that way? I don't know. Just reporting the incident", she said. 6 in Intelligence to give an accurate description of the truck and any sign they might use to identify the penguin.

"'Friend' is a bit of a stretch. I don't know his name yet", she noted. "But what it the Syndicate?"

"A crime group who have their hands in everything up and down the coastal region." They say. "Gambling, loan sharking, prostitution. You name a vice they probably got their hand in it."

"Sounds troublesome. And you think my client got involved in that kind of business? Can anybody do something about it?" she asked.

"Well if you find where they are, you can try to take him back." They said. "There's an old abandoned warehourse on the coast a little ways off that they're rumored to hide in.

"Hmm. Gotta say... I thought my adventuring days were behind me. Plus, won't that put me in those Syndicate fellas' crosshair?", she pondered, sighing. "Ah, whatever. It's the right thing to do, I guess... and it's not like I'm not used to fighting things even though I'm a bit rusty", she figured. "Alright, thanks."
"Should probably hurry up. Who knows what those criminal folks been doing to the guy since we spoke", she pondered, as she took flight and headed out. 3 in Flight to fly towards said destination at Speed 6 while close to civilized areas, and speed 8 when away from 'em.

She moved to jump onto said roof, walking up to one of said people.
"Oh, hello! I'm looking for someone, would you be so kind as to help me out?" she asked seemingly innocently. 6 in Acrobatics to leap atop the rooftop.
