Are they able to find anyone? Ask any questions?
The owner's there...though not inclined to help.
Daisy (Help Out Ali): 5+2+0 Cool = 7 - your help grants them +1, but you expose yourself to trouble or danger
Ali (Investigate a Mystery): 4+1+3 Sharp+1 = 9 - hold 1.
The group walks into the Black Dog, and a man in the center of the room looks up at them, startled, from where he's sweeping. "Hey, you can't be in here," he complains. He's a big, muscular man with a chiseled jaw and short dark hair. "We ain't open yet."
"Five o'clock somewhere, isn't it?" Ali asks. "Listen, my name's Ali, and we got a few questions for ya."
"I'm not interested in any questions, especially - oh, shit, this about last night?"
"Sure is."
"Hell, no. Go on, get outta here. I've had enough headache about that already!"
"Please, sir," Daisy says, wide-eyed and earnest. "We just want to help! Ali and Mike are really good at figuring this sort of thing out."
He squints at her. "...Are you even 21?"
"Uh," Daisy pauses. "Y-yes?" She says it like a question.
The man shakes his head. "Get me some ID, or get out." He glances at Mike. "That goes for you, too."
