Sample text:

The two men talking drowned out the constant sound of dripping water as they sloshed their way through the sewer. Oil lantern in a steady hand, Detective Doyle Longstreet led the pair deeper into the culverts. “If I had known this was where you wanted me to go, I might have said no.”

Close behind, the reporter Carl Darren followed. “You have to go where the story takes you.” Carl’s lantern danced from sound to sound, trying to identify each foreign noise and movement, flashing across the salt lines on the bricks indicating high tide marks. “You said you wanted to defend those overlooked. This is your chance.” In his spare hand, he clutched a sketch of a map like a life preserver.

“I know what I said. I just didn’t think the first step would be the sewer—maybe the second or third stop but not the first.”

“Now you can live up to your transportations name and become a true hero.”

“I should’ve never told you.”

“But you’re my hero!” Doyle knew he was trying to bat his eyelashes. He’d been doing it since he told him the bikes name.

“Look, I didn’t name it.”

“Who did?”

Doyle turned to face Carl, who promptly protected his eyes from the glare with his arm. “The inventor. It’s named after the inventor of the steam engine.”

“I’m just saying, maybe you should call it something else.”

Doyle turned and continued the slog through the knee-deep waste. “Like what?”

“Bicycle has been taken.”

“I know. Look, you’re supposed to be the great writer. Think up a new name, or I might call it Carl, or something equally ridiculous.”

“It would be Hero-Bike...”
