[Tim meets Psyduck]

Psyduck:
Psyduck. Psyduck.

Tim Goodman:
Are you trying to rob me or just annoy me?

Psyduck:
Psyduck.

Lucy Stevens:
He’s with me.

[Tim squints up the stairs and sees Lucy silhouetted by a bright light on the second floor]

Lucy Stevens:
We need to talk.

Tim Goodman:
We do?

Lucy Stevens:
I’ve been waiting to see who would open up that mailbox. You just walked into quite a story. [walks down the stairs] Stories like this spread fear, and they’re afraid of fear. But I don’t fear fear. I walk the walk and I talk the talk and I’m willing to do whatever it takes to get the honest scoop and that’s the hard truth.

Tim Goodman:
I’m sorry. Who are you?

Lucy Stevens:
Lucy Stevens, reporter for CNM.

Tim Goodman:
Oh. You seem kinda young for that.

Lucy Stevens:
I work for the CNM blog making Pokémon listicles all day, okay? “Top 10 Cutest Pokémon.”

Tim Goodman:
Yeah, my grandma loves those!

Lucy Stevens:
Yeah, newsflash! They’re all cute! Such a waste of time for someone with my nose for a story. [Psyduck quacks nervously] Oh, no, no, not now, Psyduck. I’m working a source, just one more minute.

Tim Goodman:
Okay, I’m gonna--

[Lucy puts her arm out, blocking Tim from the stairs. She pulls out a phone and begins recording]

Lucy Stevens:
I’m gonna need you to go on record and tell me everything you know about Harry Goodman.

Tim Goodman:
Wait, what?

Lucy Stevens:
Harry was onto something big. Real big. And then all of a sudden, his car crashes over a bridge. I think not. Something’s rotten and I’m gonna get to the bottom of it--

Tim Goodman:
Hey, look, I barely know the guy. I haven’t seen him in years.

Lucy Stevens:
Where’s your Pokémon partner?

Tim Goodman:
I don’t have one. Why does everyone keep asking me that?

Lucy Stevens:
Loner. Probably hiding something.

Psyduck:
Psyduck.

Tim Goodman:
Okay, I’m gonna go.

Lucy Stevens:
Hey. I may only be an unpaid intern, but I can smell a story. And I’m going to find it.

Tim Goodman:
Okay, you do that.

Lucy Stevens:
Come on, Psyduck. Let’s go.

Psyduck:
Psyduck.

[Lucy and Psyduck leave]
