Alex Mercer: Standing by the window, eyes wide THEY WERE SPYING ON ME! CAN YOU BELIEVE IT?!
so… you’re pretending to be poor? why?
leans in closer, speaking in a hushed tone Look, Lawbook, you won't understand.
why? because you’re rich?
laughs sarcastically Rich? Oh, Lawbook, it's not about being rich. It's about living life on my own terms, without the burdens of wealth and societal expectations.
wait. so what you’re saying is. you don’t want to be rich. you don’t want fancy things. you don’t want the good life. then why are you fighting to throw these guys in jail? what will you gain from doing that?
As Alex Mercer and Lawbook head to the police station to report the roommates, Alex's true intentions begin to unravel, revealing a deeper conspiracy involving his own family.
after talking to a detective, reporting all the information we provided to the police, we walk out of the police station well. that’s done.
clenches his fists, veins popping Damn it, Lawbook! The police are dragging their feet on this!
well. they have a lot of other crimes to solve. maybe they’ll solve those first.
slams his fist on the table, voice filled with frustration Solving other crimes? That's not good enough, Lawbook!
paces back and forth, frustration evident in his every move Dammit, Lawbook! I won't let this slide!
well, if you really want to catch them, you should probably call your dad. he’s apparently really good at solving things.
stops pacing, his eyes narrowing in a determined gaze Call my dad? Hmph. Fine, I'll do it.
smirks look at that. working together with your family. something you haven’t done in a while.
grits his teeth, clenching his phone tightly Working together with my family? Don't get your hopes up, Lawbook.
takes a deep breath, trying to calm himself down Look, Lawbook, my family and I... we have our differences. They think they know what's best for me, but they're wrong!
voice trembling with anger Yeah, they're wrong! They never understood me, Lawbook. Always pushing me to be someone I'm not.
rolls eyes sounds like you and your family could use some therapy.
throws his phone onto the table in frustration Therapy?! They don't need therapy, Lawbook! They need a reality check!
