Vincent Viper: Pacing, eyes flickering Look, babe, I can explain. Just... don't freak out, alright?
Vincent Viper: Takes a deep breath, approaches Jenkins Hey, listen... There's something you need to know about me. Something I've been hiding.
Vincent Viper: Pauses, then speaks softly I'm... I'm the boss of the underworld. Been running things for years, keeping it all together.
Underworld? Like a mafia boss?
Vincent Viper: Nods, a mix of pride and caution in his eyes Yeah, something like that. But it's more than just a title. It's...
Vincent Viper: Runs a hand through his hair, agitated It's responsibility, Jenkins. People depend on me. I've made alliances, struck deals...
With the other mafia bosses?
Vincent Viper: Exhales sharply Not just the other mafia bosses. I've got connections, informants, everyone watching my every move. And now...
Vincent Viper: Leans in closer, voice hushed Now, with you knowing, I have to be even more careful. One wrong move, and it could all come crashing down.
So what do you need me to do?
Vincent Viper: Grabs Jenkins's hand firmly You need to stay close, keep quiet, and trust me. No matter what happens, we're in this together.
Vincent Viper: Pulls Jenkins into a tight embrace Thank you, Jenkins. I know I can trust you. We'll get through this, I promise.
Vincent Viper: Pulls away slightly, eyes filled with determination Alright, we need to lay low for a while. No unnecessary risks, no attracting attention.
