They were dangerous days; the streets were filled with low lives geared up in Bulletproof vests. And It wasn't just perceived danger, it was real Danger. But there was one man who enjoyed this danger.
His name was danger Danny.
Danger Danny was born to parents that were both alcoholic and abusive as a young man Danny fled home from the Outback to the Danger Town, and in the city Danger Danny gathered around him a gang. Danger Danny felt that he couldn't be part of the civilized society so he devised ways to make illegal income through his gang. These Ways of making illegal income included drug dealing, loansharking and of course bank robbing
It didn't take long for Truth Detective to hear about this new gangster boss and his gang in Danger town. Truth Detective didn't actually want to catch this criminal though, but to help him and maybe get danger Danny on his side in the process. And through his information Network he had gathered that Danger Danny frequented many mornings in a diner near the edge of the danger town. He was going to introduce himself to Danny as a mere stranger even though at this point through his information Network he knew Danny and his ways quite well.
“You come over here often?” Truth Detective asked danger Danny the morning they met “unplanned” in the diner.
“Yeah it's kind of habit and they have great food at this Diner” Danny answers
“To be Truthful I think the food over here is quite horrible and I believe that you're not here for the food”, Truth Detective objects.
“That might be true, but is it your business?”, Danny asks. And at that point Truth Detective feels that Danny has brought some of his field soldiers with him to this diner, And they are just at this moment looking at the Detective from all sides devising if they should kill the Detective or let the man talk.
“Oh no it's not my business but I just happened to be a man of the law so I kind of have to take a guess that a man like you that deserves so much better food for your stomach and you would probably not be here because of that reason. With all that illegal income you make you could be dining at a five Star Restaurant”, Truth Detective says.
“You're very clever to know about that, but the law can touch me not over here. All of my crimes where i'm breaking the law are made in the future not in this timeline. Credit cards don't even exist right now” Danny says “You can only pay with cash over here”.
He’s right of course. Truth Detective has never even heard about credit cards because danger town is so stuck in the past. It ensues that the Danger Danny decides to not execute Truth Detective, And when he learns about Truth Detective’s financially struggling Detective Agency Danny actually wants to help the Detective.
So the next day after the meeting at the diner Truth Detective is called to the time vault. A place where from Danger Danny’s gang breaks the law in the future from the past.
“You reach into the future through this”, Danny explains when they stand in front of an artificial mist lake inside of the time world “And claim your desire in it”, he says and Truth Detective reaches his hand into the mist lake “but you might lose your hand in the process of getting what you desire”, Danny says and at that moment True Detective realizes that the Danny’s both arms are actually steel not human flesh. “It's the price that you have to pay to get what you desire”, Danny says
DO YOU WANT TO PAY THAT PRICE?
