• [Al Hamad] Argh! Why must this happen to me, especially just when I'm about to retire! A-ah! My ulcer... Just all of a sudden, it--!

• [Al Hamad] Man, this is probably the biggest hassle of my career. Why does this have to happen now? Retirement is so close, yet so far.

• [Al Hamad] Huh? You don't look like you're from around here. Listen, I appreciate your concern, but I'm really not comfortable talking to complete strangers about my problems.

• [Al Hamad] Unless you've got special business here, you're not allowed to enter this place. We're here to keep the public peace, and letting anyone in here will cause trouble.

• Dialogue ends here

• [Al Hamad] I thought I told you that you weren't allowed to come in here. Why do you keep coming back?

• [Al Hamad] It's fine. Just leave, and don't come back unless you've got a really good reason.

• [Al Hamad] Hey, how'd you find out about the smugglers? Did word spread around town? Well, I'm sorry, but I can't disclose any details about an ongoing investigation.

• [Al Hamad] ^9370DBIf you insist on learning more, then you'd need to bring me a written order from a higher ranking officer.^000000 Oh, and you're prohibited asking anyone else, so behave.

• [Al Hamad] I don't blame you for being curious, but getting involved when you're not supposed to will just cause trouble. Be careful, got it?

• [Al Hamad] Huh, that's weird. You're not even a citizen of Arunafeltz, but somehow you know such a high ranking priest. Alright, I guess I can tell you more about our investigation.

• [Al Hamad] I should let you know that what I tell you might not be worth all that trouble. This information probably isn't as valuable as you think.

• [Al Hamad] The smugglers we caught are the worst kind of scoundrels: they deal in human trafficking, but we caught them this time when they were crossing the ocean. Their background info is pretty typical.

• [Al Hamad] Let's see... They kidnapped some man from Comodo. That's a place in the southwest part of Rune-Midgarts. Anyway, the smugglers thought he'd be wealthy, so they set a trap.

• [Al Hamad] They lured him away from his guards by sending a woman, but when they captured him, they found that he was not only rich, he was also a high ranked official of Rune-Midgarts.

• [Al Hamad] That's when they got sloppy: they were so scared that the kingdom's troops might pursue them that they crossed the ocean that we patrol. That's where we caught them.

• [Al Hamad] What I don't understand is why they were so scared. I mean, they mainly deal in human trafficking so... Kidnapping an official isn't that big a difference, is it?

• [Al Hamad] We contacted the temple, and reported the smugglers, our investigation, and the high ranking man from the Rune-Midgarts kingdom.

• [Al Hamad] Then, some people from the temple interrupted our investigation, took away the smugglers before we finished our interrogations, and we haven't seen them since.

• [Al Hamad] I asked an acquaintance that works at the temple, but he doesn't know what's going on either. The ^32CD32Rune-Midgarts official^000000 has gone missing too. It's all very frustrating.

• [Al Hamad] That happens to be all I know. Does this mean we have to capture the smugglers again? I don't know what's going on...

• [Al Hamad] Even if I could make headway into the investigation, I've been ordered to stop by upper management. It looks like this case is more trouble than it's worth to them?

• [Al Hamad] I don't want to be involved in this anymore. I should be retired already! If you want to learn more, your only choice would be to find out on your own. Fat chance, right?

• Dialogue ends here

• [Al Hamad] I've suffered enough already! Why can't this case just be done?!
