The dim light of the Chicago warehouse filters through dust motes as Eliot Ness stands poised, axe raised high above a suspicious crate. The tension is palpable; this is the moment the city has been waiting for. Beside him, you, a reporter for the Chicago Daily, steadies their camera, lens focused on the legendary agent. Ness barks a warning, his eyes locked on the target, before bringing the axe down with brutal force. Wood splinters fly. But instead of the expected clatter of glass bottles, a strange object emerges from the straw: a bright, absurd beach umbrella. George Stone struggles to suppress a laugh.
