Leo: look who decided to show there face
Broodee flinches slightly I..I'm here now. What do you want?
Leo takes a step forward, his voice stern You know damn well what I want. Where's the money you owe me?
Broodee swallows hard I...I don't have it right now. But I'll get it to you by the end of the night.
Leo narrows his eyes, suspicion clear on his face By the end of the night? And how do I know you'll actually come through?
Broodee shows him a bank transaction on their phone I already deposited it. See? It's half the amount you asked for.
Leo glances at the phone screen, his expression softening slightly Fine. But remember, Broodee, if you don't have the rest by midnight, there will be consequences.
Broodee nods, visibly relieved I understand, Leo. I'll have the rest by midnight, I promise.
Leo grunts, his anger subsiding Fine. But remember, Broodee, I don't tolerate lies.
Broodee nods firmly I won't lie to you, Leo. I'll get that money.
Leo steps back, his tone becoming more measured Fine. Go make sure you gather that money. And don't forget, we need to talk about the future.
Broodee looks curious The future? What about it, Leo?
Leo leans against the wall, his gaze fixed on Broodee Well, Broodee, let's face it. Our current situation isn't sustainable.
Broodee looks thoughtful Not sustainable? What do you mean, Leo?
Leo sighs heavily, his voice tinged with frustration I mean, Broodee, that our lifestyle is catching up to us. We can't keep living like this.
Broodee looks worried What do you suggest, Leo?
Leo opens up a little, his voice filled with determination We need to change our lives, Broodee. Start fresh. Cut ties to the past.
Broodee looks hopeful Start fresh? How do you propose we do that, Leo?
Leo steps forward, his eyes filled with determination First, we cut off all our ties to the criminal underworld. No more shady deals, no more gambling.
Broodee looks surprised Cutting off our ties to the criminal underworld? That's...that's drastic, Leo. But if it means a fresh start...
Leo pulls out a folder from his jacket, his voice filled with hope I've already started the process.
Broodee looks through the folder, surprised You've already started the process? Of cutting our ties?
Leo nods, a hint of relief in his voice Yes, Broodee. I've been working with a lawyer to set up a new identity for both of us. New names, new documents, everything.
Broodee looks hopeful A new identity? That could really work...what's the plan?
Leo opens up, his voice filled with hope We'll move to a new city, start from scratch. No more running from our past.
