The caption for this pic was ‘garbage scavenger in China pulls trash cart’. And I’m thinking what if it’s not China but maybe Hong Kong? Now I don’t know if that’s a thing in Hong Kong or not but the main idea is a person is going about their day and finds something in the trash. Whether it’s a trash cart or maybe a dumpster in an alley.
It’s sometime in the day and in a busy area.
The person uncovers a body or maybe an item. I’m thinking we could tie this to CP #104, and a body is found. Maybe it’s the guy who was last seen with our business woman by the train.
Maybe he has a handcuff broken on his wrist, meaning he was transporting something important. Maybe our business woman had something important and that’s why she was taken.
I’m thinking the discovery of the body sets off alarms from somewhere and there’s a couple different factions in play now.
Maybe our business woman is the main piece of the puzzle or only a small piece, if we decide to use her at all, though I’m leaning toward yes.
I like the idea of this being a bit of a mystery, in the sense that our hired mercs looking for the business woman, are following this trail.
Most likely our trash collector will have met a bad fate but by another faction, all of whom are trying to locate whatever was chained to the body’s wrist.
Obviously, this needs more work and fleshing out but we’re starting to see a story take shape.
