PANIC TRAMP -in- GIN!

Poor old Panic Tramp. Born Jeffery Atkins in 1966, he suffered multiple misfortunes as his family's multi-million dollar business went bankrupt, then his parents died, and all his friends contracted leprosy from badly-cooked sausage pies. Suffering uncontrollable grief and random anxiety attacks, Jeffery Atkins became the masked vigilante PANIC TRAMP and from the dark confines of his underground lair watches over the weak and strikes fear into the hearts of villains! No wait, that's not right...

Our story opens with random justice avenger PANIC TRAMP watching and waiting. Mostly waiting. Waiting for what, though? Why, the vile stench of corruption, of course! As the seconds turn to minutes, the minutes turn into hours, and Panic Tramp starts getting edgy. It's quiet. Too quiet, some might say. Something's not right, not right AT ALL. Plus, business has been a bit slow today. Angry at having to eat rats again for lunch, and for running out of beer and glue, Panic decides enough is enough. "I'm going to get to the bottom of this!" he says to himself. "Time for an ADVENTURE!!!" he proclaims, once again to himself. GLEE!!!

Moving at literally the speed of walking, Panic Tramp heads for the local police station. "Chief Turntable!!!" he shouts "There's Evil afoot!" but his words of warning go unheeded, leaving our hero dejected and sad. Oh so sad, like a clown. BUT WHAT'S THIS? Footsteps, in the mud? Distinctly UNHUMAN footsteps? Distinctly UNANIMAL footsteps? Panic's mind started to reel with the grammatical and spelling implications of his last few thoughts. Following these mysterious tracks for a good few miles takes the heroic champ to the outskirts of town, and into the night. Unclear of exactly who or what his quarry is, Panic Tramp decides to seek help from other quarters...

Travelling through the night, Panic seeks out his associate and mentor Barry Norman, only to find he's missing! Panic is puzzled to find Barry's flat in a state of disarray and a note on his desk:
I HAVE YOUR PRECIOUS BARRY NORMAN. I KNEW YOU WOULD SEEK HIM OUT AFTER I SET YOU UP. YOU WILL NOT FIND ME FOR I AM GIN.
What? He was set up? But, why? Who is this mysterious Gin? Now at least he had a clear mission: to seek out GIN and rescue Barry Norman. Come to think of it, he was quite anxious for some gin anyway. Since the other night in fact...Resolved, Panic makes his way through the town to find clues. COME ON!!!
