"The Cobain case, actually. 'Parently the commissioner's been all over his ass about us, so's we gotta keep things quiet this week.", he tossed Eddie the keys, "Anyway, we's gonna have ta pick up the DeSoto down at the impound again. Hope they ain't jimmied the trunk dis time. Any new leads on that Chinatown case a' yours?"

Sleepy didn't have all the details, but from the looks of things Eddie's most recent case might end up being their problem after all. Six victims so far, all found with odd, consistently-spaced bruises to the upper torso that looked as if vice clamps had been attached to either side of the victim's collarbone.

Notably, none of the victims were actually dead. Their vitals were fine, and none of their organs showed any signs of damage. When hooked up to an EEG machine, though, they showed no signs of brain activity past maintaining basic vital functions. Somehow, these people had been rendered drooling vegetables without any obvious outside interference.

Finally, according to what Sleepy had overheard, two of the victims had ties to one of the local triads. Said triad, known as the Black Turtle Gang, was also rumored to be making a move on the Chinatown protection rackets. Whatever it was, Sleepy didn't like it one bit.
