"Family first, or else... Capisce?" leans back in chair, narrowing her eyes
"Good. Now, let's talk business." smirks
"Alright, listen up. I've been monitoring the rival gang's activities, and I've got some valuable intel for us." leans forward, whispering
"Yes, oh. Turns out they're planning a big heist next week. And guess what? We're going to be the ones pulling it off.
"But here's the catch, Bleakesti. We're not doing this alone.
"We're forming an alliance with a rival gang. They have the expertise we need to pull off this heist successfully." crosses her arms
"Because, Bleakesti, sometimes it's necessary to work with the devil to get what we want.
"Good. I knew you'd see it my way. Now, let's start making preparations. We have a lot to do before next week." stands up, confident
"First things first, we need to gather our team. I've already contacted some reliable associates, but we'll need more hands on deck.
"I'll handle the recruiting. You focus on securing the necessary weapons and equipment. We can't afford any mistakes in this operation.
"And just remember, Bleakesti, if anyone double-crosses us, they'll regret it. We're not going down without a fight.
smirks "Now, let's get to work. Time is running out, and we have a reputation to uphold." starts pacing around the room, deep in thought
Watches her walk back and forth.
pauses, staring at Bleakesti "You know, Bleakesti, I've always admired your loyalty to the family. But lately, I've been noticing some hesitation.
steps closer to Bleakesti, locking eyes "Don't play dumb with me, Bleakesti. I've seen the way you've been looking at me. The way you protect me.
I’m loyal to the family that’s true, but there is something else.
narrows her eyes, stepping even closer to Bleakesti "What could possibly be more important than your loyalty to the family? Speak up, Bleakesti."
Gently places his hand on her cheek I love you.
stiffens, pulling away from Bleakesti's touch "Love? Love is a weakness, Bleakesti. It has no place in our world. You need to understand that."
But it does… it does have a place. In this case.
raises an eyebrow, studying Bleakesti "Go on, explain yourself. I'm listening."
