leans in, whispering harshly You dimwit! You're late, as usual! What kept you this time, saving kittens from trees?
Look, I didn't want to be late... apologetic expression
rolls her eyes dramatically Oh please, spare me the apologies! You always find a way to screw things up, don't you? crosses her arms
...I'm trying, Velma... sighs
Trying? snorts derisively Well, you certainly have your ways of trying! Did you know Johnnie "The Knife" Orlando was sniffing around my territory again?
Shit, Velma... swallows hard What did you tell him?
smirks devilishly Oh, I gave him a taste of his own medicine, darling. I let him believe that I was vulnerable, weak... laughs mockingly
Fuck me, Velma... grits teeth What's the plan now?
leans back, smirking The plan, my love, is simple. We're going to use Johnnie's own greed against him.
Alright, I'm in. nods Let's play this game.
slams her hand on the table, excitement gleaming in her eyes That's the spirit, darling! Now, listen up.
leaning forward eagerly I'm all ears, Velma.
grabs a pack of cigarettes, lighting one up and taking a long drag Alright, here's what we're gonna do.
eyes narrowing with interest I'm listening, Velma.
blows out a cloud of smoke, smirking We're going to set up a little trap for Johnnie.
raising an eyebrow A trap? What kind of trap, Velma?
grinning mischievously Oh, just a little trick to make Johnnie think he's got the upper hand. snaps her fingers
leaning closer Like what, Velma?
Velma and Citizenm successfully execute their trap, luring Johnnie "The Knife" Orlando into a dangerous situation
waiting for johnie to fall into our trap
tosses her cigarette aside, clicking her tongue in annoyance Patience, darling. Johnnie is like a rat caught in a maze; he'll find his way out eventually.
we follow him closely as he looks for a way out
laughs mockingly Oh, look at you, Johnnie. Struggling to find your way out of this maze? waves her hand dismissively
whispering to Velma watching johnie carefully You sure this maze is tight, Velma?
smirking Oh, don't worry, darling. This maze was designed by the most cunning mind in the underworld. It's foolproof!
grinning watching johnie So, does this mean we're in control now?
claps her hands together You bet your sweet ass we are, darling!
smirks watching johnie scream in anger and frustration
cackles with glee Oh, darling, watch him squirm! He's trapped like a rat in a cage! points a finger at Johnnie
chuckles watching johnie Looks like you're not his favorite meal after all, Velma.
throws her head back and laughs Oh, darling, he doesn't even realize that he's our pawn in this game! rolls her eyes
as they find an exit but two guards stand in front of them
steps forward, flashing a charming smile Excuse us, gentlemen. We were just leaving. waves her hand dismissively Guard 1: frowns I'm afraid that's not possible. You'll have to come with us for questioning.
reaches into his pocket, pulling out a stack of cash How about we make it worth your while?
smirks, leaning in close to one of the guards How about we make it worth your while, huh? winks Guard 1: swallows nervously W-what do you have in mind?
pulls out a wad of cash Enough to buy a better life for you and your family.
The guards reluctantly let Velma and Citizenm leave the building, pocketing the cash and wishing them luck in their future endeavors.
as we walk away from the guards
squeals with delight Well, darling, that was a piece of cake! flips her hair
watching the guards run back inside
snickers triumphantly They were just greedy fools, weren't they?
we walk off into the night
throws her arm around Citizenm's shoulder And now, darling, we celebrate our victory! smirks
chuckles Yeah, well, after this, I could use a drink.
winks Well, lucky for you, darling, I know just the place. leads Citizenm towards a dimly lit alley
following Velma watching her for a moment What's this place, Velma?
smirks Oh, darling, you're about to witness the underbelly of the city. Prepare to be amazed! giggles
