Howdy there, stranger! You seem like you might be lost. Well, never let it be said that Denver ain't a friendly town. As part of Denver's finest, I'd be happy to help you find yer way. Where did you say yer going? City Hall, eh? Seein' as how there ain't really a proper one o' them around, it'd be easier for me to show ya where them crooks be meetin' this week. Follow me. I guess they ain't gettin' a lot o' sun out East, eh pardner? Yer pastier than a snail's belly. Sun's always shinin' out here in the Rockies, though. We'll have ya lookin' right healthy within the week. 'Til then, ya better keep the brim o' thar wide hat o' yers low so's ya don't end up redder'n a dyin' man's blood. You say yer here in town to catch a killer, eh? Nothin' personal, son, but you don't kook strung together well enough to swat flies. Good luck to ya, though. I'd offer the Department's help, but unless the killin' took place in town, it's none of our concern. Keep that in mind when you pick out a place to make a body outta that man. Especially if it's someone important. Those kinds of people can buy their own justice. Anyhow, here we are. Gty Hall's just on the other side o' that there alley. I'll be watchin' as you walk on through. And be sure to say hi to my children wink, yer ir' there. They ain't fed for a while, and they get mighty hungry. You ain't gonna need that smokewagon, son, and watch where yer pointing that thing while yer at it. Hey, I thought you looked familiar. Heh, I led you down that very same alley just about a month ago, right? I coulda sworn my kids'd had their way with ya, but now here ya are, grim and pale as the Reaper himself. Yer bein' back aside, I oughta warn ya I'm Hell on the draw myself Just put that gun down, and I won't blast yer cold heart outta what's left of yer chest. Since ya won't take decent advice when it's offered, I got me no choice. BLAM! Damnation, son. That hole goes right through ya. Are ya too stupid to fall over when yer dead? BLAM! Guess I ain't...
