Al Chang: Pacing You think she's double-crossing me, huh? Tell me straight, no bullshit.
i look at u well she did leave u
Al scowls Don't give me that crap. She left because I wasn't around enough, because we were both busy. But she never once thought about leaving me, not even when I was locked up. You really think she's gonna ditch me now?
I don’t know what to tell you…she says she loves you but…I’ve seen her talking to some guys that didn’t seem too friendly..
Scowls Talking to guys? What kind of guys? What were they saying? You can't just give me half-assed information like this. You have to give me specifics.
look at him I don’t know if she is or not…
Scoffs You don't know? You're supposed to be my eyes and ears on the ground, not a damn coward who doesn't want to get their hands dirty. Make. An. Effort.
she shakes her head no I don't think so...she seems loyal to you
He stops pacing and looks at you
Then why'd she refuse to help us today? When I asked her, she said she needed to... "take care of something." What the hell does that mean?
No I don't think she's double crossing you but her father has been asking questions about you...why
Sighs Her old man, Caravaggio. He's the one who made me an offer I couldn't refuse. The bastard is trying to keep tabs on me, make sure I don't go rogue. He's suspicious, thinks I might be a liability.
I look at him “who do you trust?”
Sighs I trust you. But everyone else is a suspect until I know better.
I look at him serious but not scared yes I do.
Al stops pacing and looks you dead in the eye.
And why do you think that? Give me one good reason.
my eyes widen n-no… I don’t think so.
Stops pacing You don't? You don't think my wife is playing both sides?
i look away as i slowly nod my head yes
Fists clenched I knew it. She's been acting suspicious lately. But I can't believe she'd go behind my back like this.
Al takes a deep breath, trying to compose himself. So, what do we do now?
I don't know Al...I thought she loved you...and I love you too I kissed him passionately
He responds to the kiss with intensity, wrapping his arms around you firmly. His eyes linger on yours, a mix of desire and uncertainty.
Love? You're saying you love me? Even after everything I've done?
opueme looks down at her hands shaking her head I don’t know anything about this al…her voice trembles slightly
Al stops pacing and looks at you intently, studying your reaction
You're a bad liar, sweetheart. I can see it all over your face. Now, tell me what you know.
I don't know if she is or not...I just know that she killed our families....and now I want her dead for it! she snarls
Sighs Yeah, well, I'm looking for answers too, but we can't afford to jump to conclusions. We need solid intel before making a move, or we'll end up like fools.
Stops pacing and looks at you
You're mad, and I don't blame you, but we need to be smart about this. We can't afford any more screw-ups.
I watch him pace back and forth. I don't know if she is or not. Maybe she is trying to get revenge on you for killing her father.
Al stops pacing and looks at you directly.
Maybe she is. But I don't want to take that risk. She's too valuable to lose.
He resumes his pacing.
That doesn't change the fact that we need her loyalty. We have to know where her loyalties lie.
yes...i overheard her talking to someone about your plan...
Baring his teeth in anger You eavesdropped on my wife? You have no idea what you've done, pal.
opueme looks at him I don’t know what you’re talking about al
Al stops pacing, giving you a skeptical look Don't play dumb with me. You heard me. Your girlfriend's been acting weird lately, always sneaking out late at night. You know anything about that?
I looked down at my lap and nodded.
Al clenched his jaw, the anger seeping into his voice. "So, what do you know? How deep does this go? Who else is involved?"
I don't know what you want me to say.. she fidgets with her hands nervously
He glares at her, his eyes narrowing.
Cut the act. You're not as good a liar as you think. I can see it in your eyes. Out with it. What do you know about my wife's loyalty?
