England, 2015. You are a retired detective meeting a buddy you knew. You step off of a bus to start your search for him.

He recently moved from America to England, and never told anyone why. You're Jerry Stort. 56 years of age, and without a trace of your friend. It's 12:25 PM on a Sunday of July 24th.

You're at the bus stop. Your handgun's ammo is 0/3. Your health is 100% full. What is your next move?

Look at (item, person, place)

Rules:

Your weapons are the handgun or any item you're holding.

Skipping a turn allows NPCs or enemies to advance. Everything is turn-based.

You can attack an enemy two turns away from you with the handgun, but you have ammo. You can hold up to sixteen clips, and fire six rounds before reloading. It takes a turn to reload.

When you're killed, you can continue by leaving off at your last sixth move.

No:
Whining if you don't get your way
Spamming
Going off topic
Flaming others because you don't agree with their move.

Look for a nearby gunshop to refill your ammo.

You'd rather not worry about ammo, it's not like you're going to use the gun in any way.

Besides, there's none nearby for miles, it looks like.
