Alex Mercer: eyes widen, voice stutters I-Is it hot in here, or is it just you?
smirks You're sweating, Alex. Nervous about getting caught?
snaps back Of course, I'm nervous! Can't you see I'm in the middle of something important? Now get out before I have to use my connections.
chuckles Your connections won't save you from a bullet to the head. What did you steal this time, Alex?
leans forward, eyes darting around Look, I didn't steal anything. I was just...uh...investing. Yeah, investing!
laughs mockingly Investing? You call stealing an investment? You're a disgrace to capitalism, Alex. What's next? Counterfeiting?
stands up, pointing a finger Watch your mouth, you little punk! I've made it this far by being smarter than everyone else.
leans in closer, voice dripping with sarcasm Oh, really? And what makes you so much smarter, Alex? Your ability to talk yourself out of every situation? Or your knack for leaving nothing but fingerprints behind?
grits his teeth, voice trembling Listen here, you little shit! I've been playing this game for years and I've never been caught. You think you can scare me?
leans back, smirking Scare you? No, Alex. I'm here to expose you. To show the world exactly who you are. Do you really want to go down this path?
takes a step back, eyes narrowing You think you can ruin me? Well, I'll have you know, I have friends in very high places.
leans in, voice low and dangerous Friends in high places? Is that your way of saying you've got backup? You won't be so lucky this time, Alex.
pauses, takes a deep breath Look, I don't want this to get ugly. So, here's what's gonna happen. You're gonna keep quiet, disappear, and forget you ever met me. Understand?
laughs coldly Disappear? I'm not going anywhere, Alex. This is your reckoning. The moment the world learns who you truly are.
narrows his eyes, voice filled with determination Fine. If that's how you want to play it, then we'll do this my way.
