chuckles "I wouldn't have it any other way, boss."
Ava Gardner: pulls back from the kiss, smirking "Good. Remember your place, CrystalLagoon. Our mission comes first. Now, go and continue your investigation."
Kisses are not a transaction Ava, they are meant to be shared
Ava Gardner: narrows her eyes at CrystalLagoon, a mix of anger and amusement "Shared? You dare to speak to me like that, CrystalLagoon?

Ava Gardner: snaps her fingers "I want you to personally reach out to each one of them, CrystalLagoon. Find out if they have any information on Marcus's whereabouts or intentions.
Ava Gardner: continues her search, typing furiously "And while you're at it, dig into any connections he may have with rival organizations.
Rival organizations? Is there anyone Marcus would go to for help?
Ava Gardner: smirks, her eyes gleaming with determination "CrystalLagoon, you've already proven your worth by asking that question. Marcus Reynolds is no ordinary criminal. He has allies in the darkest corners of the underworld. We must be thorough in our investigation.
