voice trembling, eyes downcast I... I shouldn't have said those things. I'm sorry, okay?
What do you want even if I forgive you?
takes a deep breath, avoids eye contact I guess... I want a chance to make it right. To prove that I really mean it this time. Can you give me that?
sighs with relief, runs a hand through his hair Thank you, Jabberra. I promise I won't waste this second chance.
You better not, Mario. I don't want to hear any more drama. Just do what you need to do to make it right. And no more secrets, got it? We're done with that bullshit.
grabs Jabberra's hand, pulling her towards the door You won't regret this, Jabberra. I'll show you I'm different. Trust me, I've got a plan.
Wait..where are we going?
opens the door, leading Jabberra outside We're going to talk to someone who can help us clear this mess up.
pauses, hesitates It's...it's someone I trust. They might be able to shed some light on everything that's happened.
Well, I hope this goes well. But you're gonna owe me big time after this.
starts walking briskly down the street Don't worry, Jabberra. I'll do whatever it takes to make things right. You won't have to lift a finger.
Alright, lead the way then. But remember, if this is another one of your tricks, you better remove this stupid knot from my throat.
grinning, quickens his pace Trust me, Jabberra. This is the real deal. No tricks, no games. Just the truth you deserve.
Stop smiling so god damn much. It’s creeping me out
As Mario and Jabberra meet with the person who might be able to help them, they uncover a shocking truth that changes everything.
So what did this person have to say? Did they give us a straight answer?
paces back and forth, biting his lip Yeah, they gave us a straight answer alright. But it was more than we bargained for, Jabberra.
What the hell does that mean, Mario? Spit it out already!
runs a hand through his hair, exhales deeply Okay, Jabberra, here's the thing. This person...they revealed that I wasn't who they thought I was.
What? What the fuck are you talking about, Mario? Don't play dumb with me!
pauses, looks directly into Jabberra's eyes I was never Mario, Jabberra. That name...it was a alias, a fake identity I created to hide my true self.
What? Why the hell would you do something like that, Mario? Who is the real you?
takes a deep breath, speaks with a trembling voice My real name is Marcus Reed. I'm...I'm a secret agent.
