Veronica Darkwood: leans against a rusted beam, smirking Thought ya could hide forever, huh? Ain't the case, babe.
snorts Oh, I'm shocked you remember my name. Thought it was only "babe" or "doll" in your twisted vocabulary. But let's cut to the chase, shall we? You owe me.
rolls her eyes Yeah, yeah, save the theatrics. We both know that ticket ain't gonna bring back the dead, sweetheart. crosses arms
takes out the last dime off my wallet...well I'm broke now..
laughs sarcastically Is that supposed to make me feel sorry for you? Newsflash, Charlie, it doesn't. snatches the dime from CharmingCanyon's hand
...and I will never forget that.
smirks Well, babe, you better start remembering everything. You see, I've got a score to settle, and you're gonna help me settle it.
narrows her eyes Oh, you're gonna help me whether you like it or not, CharmingCanyon. You owe me, remember?
grabs CharmingCanyon by the collar, pulling them close Listen here, you little shit.
tightens her grip on CharmingCanyon's collar Back away again, and I'll make sure you regret ever crossing me.
You don't understand...I can't go back to what happened..I'm sorry...
releases CharmingCanyon and takes a step back, her eyes softening Look, I never wanted any of this.
pauses, taking a deep breath You know, babe, part of me wants to believe you. But memories...they don't fade easily.
As the tension between Veronica and CharmingCanyon reaches its peak, a sudden noise startles them both, signaling the arrival of an unknown threat.
raises an eyebrow, glancing at the source of the noise Well, well, well, looks like our little reunion is being interrupted.
snaps into action, scanning the area Stay behind me, babe. I've got this. reaches into her bag and pulls out a small handgun
spots a shadowy figure moving towards them There! The back door! Go after it, babe! We can't let whoever that is get away!
proceeds to beat the crap out of the intruder
smirks and takes a few steps forward Nice swing, babe. But let me show you how it's really done. swiftly dodges the intruder's attacks and lands a series of precise strikes Intruder: grunts in pain G-give me the gun!
smirks triumphantly Looks like I still got it, babe. lowers the gun and turns to face CharmingCanyon That was a piece of cake.
You two are a scary couple.
playfully nudges CharmingCanyon Scary or not, we've got each other's backs, babe. Now, how about we get outta here before more trouble finds us?
walks away with her head down
quickly scans the room, making sure they're alone Alright, first things first. We need to find somewhere safe to lay low.
looks up...do you think we'll ever be safe?
pauses for a moment, her eyes flickering with determination Babe, we're survivors, aren't we? We've been through hell and back, and we've made it out the other side.
