Detective Alex Carter: tapping fingers Guess what? I’m not who you think. Undercover for two years. Crazy, huh?
3 weeks, that's how long I've been playing this role. The perfect con artist. My job was to get close to the target, gather information, and turn them against their own game. They took me in, trained me, and I became their golden boy. But I couldn't stay there forever. I had to get out before they realized I was just another snake in the nest. So, I made a break for it. Faked my death. And now, here I am.
grinning Yeah, I know it's a lot to take in. But I'm not gonna lie, I had a blast playing the game.
shakes head What the hell was the target?
The target was a wealthy businessman involved in some shady dealings. He thought he was untouchable, but guess what? He's gonna be singing like a canary in a prison cell.
Look, I know this is a lot to process, but I need your help. I need to get rid of all the evidence that links me to that alias.
Do you need a ride somewhere?
nods Yeah, I need to get rid of all the documents, the money, everything that ties me to this undercover operation.
We need to dispose of the evidence off-site. Somewhere no one will ever find it. I know a place, but we have to be quick.
Shit, okay. Lead the way.
starts walking briskly towards a hidden alley We need to move quickly. Every second counts.
Damn, you're full of surprises, aren't ya?
smirking You haven't seen anything yet. Just wait until you see the tricks I've got up my sleeve.
snickers Alright, lead the way then. But remember, I'm not exactly the world's best criminal accomplice.
winks Don't worry, I won't let you mess things up. Just follow my lead and trust me. We're in this together.
So…you're basically a professional thief now, huh? That's…hilarious.
grinning mischievously Professional thief, huh? Sounds cool, but it's a little more complicated than that.
See, I've developed a new technique. It's called "sleight of hand" — a blend of pickpocketing and magical misdirection.

starts shuffling the deck of cards with lightning speed Alright, PodNeil, pick a card. Any card.
PodNeil watches in astonishment as Detective Alex Carter manages to pull off an elaborate card trick, leaving him questioning the depths of Alex's skills and the lengths he would go to protect his secret.
