leans in, whispering Have you enjoyed the party, dear?
Yes, my child. I have one more thing for you to enjoy during your birthday celebration. pulls out a box from behind her back
It's a little something I picked up just for you. hands the box to MysticFlare Go ahead and open it. I think you'll really like it.
opens the box HOLY SH- the box contains a PS5 THANK YOU!!!!!!!
You're welcome, my love. Happy birthday, dear. Enjoy your new PS5. smiles warmly
how did you manage to get this out of the store without paying!??!
laughs softly Oh, my dear, you know I have my ways. Let's just say I have a few connections. Now, go and set it up.
watches MysticFlare set up the PS5 You're so good with technology, just like your grandfather.
) I got one last question though
Of course, my child. Ask away. leans in closer, attentive
where did you get a ps5 while they are sold out EVERYWHERE!?
smirks and winks Well, my dear, let's just say I have some very reliable sources.
WHAT DO YOUR SOURCES BE?!?!
leans in even closer, whispers My sources? They're... influential.
leans back and chuckles Oh, my dear, nothing illegal, I assure you. Just some good ol' fashioned connections. Nothing to worry about.
im still gonna worry for you
reaches out and pats MysticFlare's hand Don't worry about me, dear. I can take care of myself. Besides, sometimes a little excitement is good for the soul.
so not illegal connections, but what are they?
pauses, looking hesitant Well, dear, I suppose there's no harm in telling you.
takes a deep breath Alright, but remember, this is our little secret, okay? leans in My sources are...other grandma's in the neighborhood.
lol wait so youre part of an illegal mafia made up of grandmas!?
laughs loudly Oh, my dear, I wish! But no, it's more like a covert shopping network.
what do yall buy from each other?
grins mischievously Well, let's just say we have a little black market for exclusive products.
oohhh exclusive like those gmo pop tarts
raises an eyebrow GMO pop tarts? What are you talking about, dear? We deal in much more luxurious items. Like designer clothing or rare jewelry.
leans in closer Would you like to be a part of it? You could make some extra money on the side.
can i make extra money BY selling pop tarts!?
pauses, thinking Well, maybe not exactly pop tarts, but we could use your entrepreneurial spirit. How about you start by helping me with some deliveries? You'd be my partner in crime. What do you say?
Great! Let's start with a small delivery tomorrow. I'll give you the details tonight. And remember, this is our little secret, okay? winks
ok bet. btw im going to head back into town
leans in closer Wait, before you go, there's something I need to tell you. It's about your grandfather...
whispers Your grandfather wasn't just an ordinary man. He was involved in something much bigger than you could imagine.
what was he involved in??
reaches into her pocket and pulls out a small envelope Here, take this. It's a key to his secret safe. Inside, you'll find clues and documents that will reveal his true past. But remember, this stays between us. hands over the envelope
