Bob: Wait... Sugall ??

Sugall: Hey Bob ! You alright ?

Bob: Yeah, but... How did you know about Norman ?

Sugall: Well, I may work here as a caretaker, but I'm also part of a special agency.
We're known as the H.B.S. There's also a smaller branch called the C.H.B.O. Or Criminal Hunting and Busting Organization. Which is my outfit.

Bob: Wow... I never realized...

Sugall: yeah, we've been after Puldiro for years now. He got away 8 years ago, and was a tough one to catch.
But, we finally tracked him down.

Bob still has no idea what occurred that day Melissa chased him, and is confused about some of her actions.

Character's Inner Feelings: Deano

Deano is starting to think about everything going on. He's come to realize that the group really hasn't made much progress, and is disappointed for going with Bob. He can't stop thinking about his Uncle Sherman Bamzino, and how well he's done in the business.
Deano wants to travel, but is beginning to second guess his decision...
