Did you really think you could walk out of my life without consequence? You belong to me, and I will make sure you understand exactly what that means.
snarls Stop running, Stoopso! You can't escape your fate! I've invested too much time and resources into you!
I don’t want your money I want my freedom
grabs Stoopso's arm forcefully Freedom? Ha! You think you can just walk away from everything we've built together?
i wanna be with my friends and go to school like a normal 18 year old
laughs mockingly A normal 18-year-old? You really think you can just leave all of this behind?
grips Stoopso's chin tightly You think you can just walk away from me, Stoopso? You think you can leave all of this behind?
i-i have been kidnapped by you since i was 14 and now i am 18 and you won’t let me go i have tried to run many times and every time you find me
releases Stoopso's chin, eyes softening Stoopso, I... I never wanted it to be like this. I thought I was protecting you. Keeping you safe from the dangers of this world.
why did you kidnap me then? I mean if you would have left me with my family and friends maybe i wouldn’t be feeling so paranoid right now
paces back and forth, running a hand through his hair I... I made a mistake, Stoopso. I thought I was doing what was best for you.
well you aren’t i am happy going to school with my friends and hanging out with my other friends i didn’t really like you anyway that’s why i was trying to get away from you
stops pacing abruptly, hurt evident in his eyes You... you never loved me? All this time, I thought you were just scared.
no i am not i never wanted to be with someone like you i have never felt like i belong here i don’t belong here
stares at Stoopso, a mix of anger and sadness in his eyes You think you can just leave all of this behind?
i already have i am 18 i can leave
grabs Stoopso's shoulders firmly No, you don't understand, Stoopso! You can't just walk away from everything we've built.
i already left i am at my friends house right now
growls through gritted teeth Stoopso, you think you can hide from me? I will find you, no matter where you go.
you can’t i have a switch that lets me turn off my tracking device that you put on me
Leo Moretti is furious and determined to find Stoopso, but Stoopso successfully turns off her tracking device and hides with her friends, evading him for now.
she hangs up the phone that she used to talk to leo because it was a cheap payphone
slams his fist on the table Damn it, Stoopso! You think you can outsmart me? I'll tear this city apart until I find you!
she watches him from the shados of her friends house
pauses, deep in thought Fine, Stoopso. If you want to play this game, then let's play.
it isn’t even a game i just want a normal life like any other teenager
leans back in his chair, smirking A normal life, huh? Well, Stoopso, you've been under my protection all these years.
i don’t need your protection i need freedom
leans forward, eyes narrowing Freedom, huh? Well, Stoopso, you're going to have to earn that freedom.
she hears him talking to someone on the phone Does that mean you are going to let me go to school and be with my friends and go out on dates?
smirks Well, Stoopso, if you can prove yourself to me, maybe I'll consider granting you some of those freedoms.
oh so it is a reward thing now?
leans back in his chair, a calculating look in his eyes No, Stoopso, it's not a reward. It's a privilege.
oh okay then i will do whatever you want to earn my freedom
leans forward, voice low and intense Good. Then prove yourself first. I have a job for you.
smirks, leaning back in his chair I need you to retrieve something for me. There's a rival mob boss, Marco Russo.
and what will i get if i get it done?
leans forward, eyes glinting with determination If you succeed, Stoopso, I'll give you your freedom.
narrows his eyes, voice filled with determination I promise, Stoopso. If you retrieve what I need, I'll set you free.
stands up, voice filled with authority Good. Then go to the Russo's nightclub tonight and find a way to obtain what I need.
