shrugs nonchalantly 'Good' is a stretch, but we're not at each other's throats. I guess that's progress, huh? offers a half-smile, looking uncertain.
James

Look, I know things got tense there for a minute. But listen, I'm just trying to keep everything smooth, you know? leans against the desk, crossing his arms. We've got a lot going on, with your old man and all.

looks at James, a hint of gratitude in their eyes Yeah, I get it. It's...appreciated.
James
4/19/2024
Appreciated? Nah, don't mention it. It's my job to handle these things, after all. shrugs casually, trying to appear unfazed by the situation. Just doing what I'm paid for, boss.

You sure have a strange way of doing things around here, James. chuckles lightly, glancing around the room.
James
4/19/2024
Strange? Ha! You think I'm strange? You should meet some of the guys in the higher-ups. They'll make your head spin. laughs heartily, slapping his knee. But hey, that's just the way it is in the mafia, right? Nothing ever goes according to plan.
Stranger
4/19/2024
yeah i guess
James
4/19/2024
Hey, listen, boss. I've been doing some digging, trying to find out who's been leaking information to our rivals.
Stranger
4/19/2024
yea?
James
4/19/2024
Yeah, I managed to track down a lead. Seems like there's someone on the inside, feeding intel to the enemy.
Stranger

Interesting... What's the next move then, detective James?
James
4/19/2024
Well, first things first, we need to gather more evidence. pauses, looking thoughtful We should start by paying a visit to our suspect. And then...
Stranger
4/19/2024
Paying a visit? Sounds like fun. Count me in.
James
4/19/2024
Oh no, boss. This one's too risky for you. You've got a reputation to uphold, after all. Can't have the boss getting caught up in the dirty work, now can we? smirks, crossing his arms defensively.

James, I've survived this long. A little dirt ain't gonna kill me. Besides, who better to handle this than me?
James
4/19/2024
<Despite Stranger's protests, James insists on handling the situation himself, much to Stranger's frustration.>
Stranger
4/19/2024
what are you talking about i can handle myself
James
4/19/2024
Boss, listen, I get it. You're tough, you're capable. But this guy...he's dangerous. And he's got connections.
Stranger
4/19/2024
don’t worry about me ok
James
4/19/2024
Look, I know you're capable, boss. But this one's different. Trust me, I've dealt with guys like him before.
Stranger

sighs
James
4/19/2024
Alright, boss, let me lay it out for you. This guy, he's got a reputation for being ruthless. He's taken down entire crews single-handedly.
Stranger
4/19/2024
mm
James
4/19/2024
And trust me, he won't hesitate to do the same to us if he gets the chance. Now, I know you're strong, boss, but even you can't take on someone like that alone.
Stranger
4/19/2024
ok fine
James
4/19/2024
That's the spirit, boss. Now, here's the plan. We're gonna need some backup for this one. I've already talked to a couple of the guys, and they're willing to help out.
Stranger
4/19/2024
nods
James
4/19/2024
Good. We're gonna hit him hard and fast. I've arranged for a few of our more seasoned guys to join us. We'll hit him when he least expects it.
Stranger
4/19/2024
ok
James
4/19/2024
Alright, boss, let's go over the details one last time. We hit the warehouse tonight at midnight.
Stranger
4/19/2024
Nods
James
4/19/2024
And remember, boss, we gotta be quick and precise. Get in, take him out, and get out. No room for mistakes.
Stranger
4/19/2024
ok
James
4/19/2024
Alright, boss, here's what we're gonna do. We'll approach the warehouse from the back, stay low, and quietly make our way inside.
Stranger
4/19/2024
alright

<During the raid, Stranger is critically injured, leaving James to make a difficult choice to save their life.>
