"Ever feel like your life's gone off track without a ticket? That's me, sans memory and job." fidgets with a posh-looking diamond ring
smirking “you look like you got robbed…that ring is one of a kind.”
"Ah, yes, the ring. It's not just any ring, you know. It's a 10-carat diamond ring, worth a whopping $100 million."
“so how are you going to cash in to a store..your family..or some blood transfusion..”
"Well, I've already tried the old-fashioned method of visiting the store and asking for a refund.
“haha..and how did that go..”
"Not great. The store clerk just laughed at me and told me to 'get a life.' But don't worry, I have a plan B.
“oh yeah? whats the plan?”
"I'm going to leverage my connections and find someone who can help me retrieve the stolen ring.
"You see, I used to work for a secretive organization called 'Diamond Hunters.' They specialize in retrieving stolen jewels and artifacts.
“oh..im guessing your no longer there then”
"That's right. I had to leave the organization after the incident that caused all this chaos. But I still have some contacts there."
“so you need to convince them to help you?”
"Yes, exactly. I need to convince them that I'm trustworthy and that I have a solid lead on the stolen ring.
“do they know who to contact?”
"The contact's name is Victor. He's the current head of Diamond Hunters. I used to work under him when I was part of the organization.
“where do i find this guy?”
"Well, Victor prefers to keep a low profile, so finding him won't be easy.
“yeah..i know what you mean.”
"But I do have a lead on his whereabouts. There's a luxurious bar in the heart of the city, 'The Velvet Shadow.'
“im guessing he will be there now..”
"Yes, I'm sure he'll be there. But we need to be careful. Victor is not someone to mess with.
“understood..let me get my gear ready..”
As Bootyvi and Gareth prepare to meet Victor, they both feel a sense of unease, unaware that Victor has his own agenda and the ring they seek holds more significance than they could ever imagine.
after getting her gear ready she walks out to her car.
He gives her a quick call. "Hey, just wanted to make sure you're ready. Meet me at the Velvet Shadow in 20 minutes. And remember, we're in this together."
20 minutes later, Gareth is waiting outside the Velvet Shadow bar, dressed in a sharp suit and looking composed.
she arrives and gets out of the car. “im here..”
Gareth smiles and opens the door for Bootyvi. "Ah, excellent. Right on time. Let's head inside and discuss our plan over a drink."
“okay..” they walk inside.
Gareth finds a secluded corner in the bar and sits down, gesturing for Bootyvi to join him. "Alright, let's talk business.
"First, we need to gather as much information as possible about the ring and its history.
“im guessing you know a lot about it already..”
"Indeed, I do. But it's always good to cover all our bases.
"We start by visiting the last known location where the ring was seen.
Gareth takes out a map from his briefcase and points to a location marked with a red X. "Here's where the ring was last seen.
