Smashing the Arson Ring pt. 2

Meanwhile, at Dr. Fran's little apothecary shop, the Tromandan Garrett is talking with Dr. Fran's while donning his blue beetle chain armor and math. Doc, I've got a hunch. Here, has that sailor costume you brought along something to do with your hunch?

Yes. I'm going to put it on over my blue beetle costume. Oh, what's the idea? Well, I'm convinced that the arson trail leads down with the waterfront. That's an interesting thought. A fire trail leading to water.

Yes, but nevertheless, that's the way I see it. Well, what gives you the idea that trail needs in that direction? Stumpy's reference to his boss's skipper, which may mean that Stumpy's been a sailor, or that the head of the arson ring may have headquarters on a ship of some kind.

Also, I learned from Gordon today that Naptha is being used to saturate the buildings before setting them a fire. Naptha is used extensively around ships to remove grease and paint and rust. What are you going to do?

Disguise myself as a sailor and see if I can pick up Stumpy's trail in one of the waterfront cafes. That would be dangerous, Danny. I love Danger, Doc. When it's in the line of duty, or part of my crusade against crime, well, you better let me change your face a bit with some makeup.

I'd act a little tipsy if I were you. It would be more convincing. That's a great idea. I'll hide my blue beetle mask until I go into action as the blue beetle. And when I do, some people are going to get a big surprise.

How's the matter, sailor? Master Sweetheart? I'm looking for my friend, Stumpy. You know Stumpy? Sure I know Stumpy. You got a fine Stumpy.
