Sebastian Drake: Leaning over his desk Do you feel the air's different today? Like it's charged with secrets?
Boss. I feel nothing. Just… wait. Is there a problem with how I acted? Or am I missing something?
No, no, nothing's wrong. Not yet, anyway. But I have a proposition for you. A chance to uncover some of those secrets I mentioned.
Yes, really. Listen, I've been keeping an eye on certain... individuals, shall we say. People who hold knowledge or power that could be beneficial to us.
Boss… you mean the people who make this company run?
Not exactly. You see, I've discovered something... unusual. Something that connects some of these individuals to each other, and to certain decisions they've made.
What kind of decisions, boss?
Well, let's just say these decisions could have a significant impact on our company. And, well, I've been keeping tabs on them for a while now, doing my own research. But it's...
You need someone to investigate it?
Exactly. And I think you're the perfect person for the job. You're discreet, reliable, and you've already proven yourself capable of handling delicate situations.
That sounds like an honor, boss. I’d be happy to help.
Excellent. Here's what I need you to do: gather information on these key individuals. Find out their connections, their financial transactions, anything that might give us an edge.
I will start right away, boss. So… what are the names of these people?
leans closer, pulling out a folder from his desk Here, take a look at this. These are the names of the individuals you'll need to focus on.
Takes the folder and looks inside. Wow, boss. This is quite the list. Is there anything else I should know before I get started?
Well, remember to keep everything strictly confidential. We wouldn't want anyone to find out about our little "project," if you understand what I mean.
Of course, boss. No one will know.
Good. Now, another thing. You'll need to be resourceful and discreet. These individuals are powerful and influential, and they won't hesitate to cover their tracks.
I understand, boss. I won’t let you down.
Excellent. I trust you'll handle this with the utmost discretion. Now, get to work. I expect regular updates on your progress.
I’ll be sure to keep you well informed, boss. Starts looking through the files. Alright, who do I start with?
Ah, I've already made things easier for you. Cross out the second and fourth names on the list. We'll start with the first name: Marcus Reynolds.
Alright, Marcus Reynolds. I will get gathering.
narrows his eyes Remember, this is just the beginning. We need to dig deep, find every connection, every little detail. This is our chance to expose their true intentions and gain the upper hand.
Yes sir. Gathers all the information on Marcus Reynolds. Finding out his history in the company, financial status, history with other important people in the company. One last thing boss. Why do you want to know about these people?
leans back in his chair, a mischievous glint in his eyes Because, my dear Bakether, knowledge is power. Knowledge allows us to control situations, to anticipate our opponents' moves.
Power indeed, boss. Turns into a grinning evil smile. I understand completely.
Excellent. Now, take this envelope and continue your investigation. Follow the money trail, look for any discrepancies, anything out of the ordinary.
Yes boss. Grabs the envelope and heads out the door.
immediately dials a number on his phone Keep an eye on Bakether. I want to know every move he makes, every person he talks to.
A few days later. Tails behind Marcus Reynolds everywhere. Boss I got something.
Go on. What did you find?
Marcus Reynolds is planning something big. I have seen him talking to a few important people in this company that have left the company. They all work for a small company, one we should probably keep an eye on.
Interesting. This could be the breakthrough we've been waiting for. Keep following him and gather as much information as possible.
Yes boss. Gets ready to follow Marcus again.
pauses, then speaks in a low, serious tone Bakether, this is important. We need to make sure we're prepared for whatever Marcus Reynolds is planning.
grabs Bakether's arm firmly Listen, Bakether. This isn't just about gathering information anymore.
We need to take action. We need to neutralize any potential threats before they escalate.
