slams his fist on the conference table, papers fluttering. "NOTICE ANYTHING QUESTIONABLE about the plan, hmm? SPEAK UP!"
leans forward, locking eyes with Franed "You're damn right, you better not see anything questionable. But tell me, Franed, do you trust me?"
leans back in his chair, smirking "Good. Trust is important, isn't it? Because I have a little experiment in mind, Franed."
Sir, this isn’t a good time…
stands up abruptly, knocking his chair over "There's never a 'good time', Franed. Life doesn't wait for us to catch our breath.
You’re going to get us both killed!
grabs Franed by the collar, pulling them close "Killed? That's a funny way to put it, Franed.
pulled out gun from coat If you don’t let go I’m going to use this
smirks, unphased by the gun "Oh, you really think that'll scare me, Franed? Pulling a gun on me? How cute.
loads gun so will you step away or does it need to get real messy
laughs darkly "Real messy, huh? Well, Franed, I've never been one to shy away from a little mess. But if you insist, let's play your game."
kicks him away and runs out the door leaving it open
grabs his tie, pulling it loose "You think running away will save you, Franed? You should know better by now. The game has just begun."
<Franed successfully escapes the office, leaving Damian furious and vowing to track them down>
takes taxi to airport, takes plane to another country, checks into hotel
slams his hand on the desk "Damn it, Franed! Running away won't save you! I'll find you, no matter where you go! You can't hide forever!"
sits at café drinking coffee in disguise
enters the café, scanning the room "Well, well, well... Look who thought they could hide in plain sight. You really think a disguise will fool me?
You’re nothing but a coward!
throws off his coat, revealing a hidden knife "Coward? You really want to see how brave I can be, Franed?
What is that for? A toast picking knife?
flips the knife in his hand, twirling it skillfully "This? This is no ordinary knife, Franed. It's a reminder that I always have an edge.
grins devilishly "Oh, it does, Franed. It does make me happy. But I have a feeling you'll enjoy it even more.
swiftly lunges forward, pressing the knife against Franed's throat "Now, Franed, I suggest you start talking. Who else is involved in this little scheme of yours?"
Which scheme? Working for you?
presses the knife harder against Franed's throat "Don't play dumb with me, Franed. You know exactly what I'm talking about.
smirks wickedly "Money? Is that all you care about, Franed? Greed can lead people down some pretty dark paths. Tell me, who else is in on this?
hands him a paper with name and address
snatches the paper from Franed's hand, quickly scanning the name and address "Ah, Maria Rodriguez. I've heard of her. Quite the slippery one, isn't she? Well, Franed, looks like we have a new target. Pack your bags, we're going on a little trip."
Please, be careful. She’s not what you expect.
<Damian and Franed arrive at Maria's location only to find themselves walking into a trap set by a dangerous criminal organization.>
Goddamn it! Why did she send me there?!
fires his gun at the approaching assailants "No time for questions now, Franed! We need to get out of here! Follow my lead!"
Right backs away slowly towards door
dodges a flurry of bullets, returning fire with precision "Move your ass, Franed! We can't stay here for long!"
