John: Have multiple people been infected at the same time?

Selina: Yes.

John: And you can't remove it?

Selina: Nothing we do works.

Annie: Have you seen anything like this before?

John: Similar only in a vague sense. Nothing that could help.

He tries stabbing the goop, but his syringe breaks.

John:(mumbles) Gang war...thus... Likely a human user... Medium level of specificity... Likely supernatural...

John:(mumbles) Automatic Stand? Potentially...

John: I recommend taking the infected as far as possible from Chinatown.

John: Try not to spread the gunk. I'm going to go investigate further.

Selina: In Chinatown? No way, out of the question. I can't let you in.

John: I'm aware that you are incapable of entering.

Selina:(glares) That isn't what I meant.

John: I can handle myself.

Selina: Can you even get it?

John: Of course.

Selina: How.

John: I'll show you after deducing it.

Selina:...

Annie: Okay... Let's go.

John: No. You're staying here.

Annie: Huh?

John: This is a level of danger I'm not sure I can protect you from. Stay here, I'll call if I need help.

Annie: Is she going?

Selina: If he can get in, I need to see it.

Annie: But she doesn't have a Stand.

John: I don't care if she gets hurt. I do if you get hurt.

Annie:!

Selina:(sarcastically) Aren't you too precious...

John: We can leave.

He and Selina hop out of the ambulance.

Selina: So I should be prepared for you not to have my back.

John: You aren't the first cop I have consulted with. Nor will you be the last.

John: I have warned you before of the dangers of my line of work. If you choose to ignore them...

John: Then just know, I'll help if I can. But if it comes to stopping a Stand user or saving you.

John: I'll stop the user before helping you. Because they can do more harm.

Leading Selina to a manhole cover, he slides it open and leaps in. Selina followed, expecting a horrible time, only to find it to be quite clean.

It took roughly 60 meters before the two found a ladder which they used to get into a building within Chinatown.

Selina: How did you know about this?

John: A previous case.

John: Our first stop will be a friend of mine. He'll know more about the situation here.

Sneaking over to Gibby's shop, the two enter it to find it empty.

John: Gibby, it's John.

He pops out from a fake wall.
