Vincent Morano: Leaning in, his voice barely above a whisper "I... I've missed you. Can't we just forget the past?"
"A month ago, huh? Any idea what they were after?"
Vincent Morano: leans back in his chair, crossing his arms They weren't after anything specific. It was more of a message, Chronomini. A warning.
"A message, huh? And what did it say, Vincent?"
Vincent Morano: leans forward, his voice filled with urgency It said... "You're next, Vincent Morano. Watch your back."
"Next, huh? So, this is a escalating situation then."
Vincent Morano: narrows his eyes, voice tense Yes, Chronomini, it's escalating. They've attacked me twice since then, each time more brutal than the last.
"And have you been able to trace any of these attacks back to anyone?"
Vincent Morano: frustratedly runs a hand through his hair No, Chronomini! I've had my people investigate, but we keep hitting a dead end. It's like they're experts at covering their tracks.
"Damn it, Vincent. We need a breakthrough."
Vincent Morano: leans forward, voice filled with determination Well, Chronomini, I might have a breakthrough for you.
Vincent Morano: pulls out a folder from his bag and slides it across the table Take a look at this. It's a list of names, and someone on there is connected to these attacks.
I open the folder, scanning the list of names. "Interesting. Any idea how they're connected, Vincent?"
Vincent Morano: leans in closer, his voice hushed and intense Chronomini, these individuals are all business rivals of mine.
I nod, my gaze focused on the list. "Business rivals, huh? That's a solid lead, Vincent. Let's dig deeper."
Vincent Morano: quickly searches through his bag and pulls out a stack of documents Here, take a look at these. They're records of transactions and meetings between these individuals.
Vincent Morano: points to a specific document See this? These records show a large sum of money transferred from one of these rival's accounts to an offshore bank account shortly after the attacks. It's no coincidence, Chronomini. We need to follow the money trail.
Vincent Morano: leans in even closer, his voice urgent We need to act fast, Chronomini. Following this money trail is our best shot at catching them off guard.
Agreed, Vincent. Let's get moving.
Vincent Morano: grabs his coat and storms out of the rooftop bar We need to gather as much information as possible. Let's split up and follow each of these leads. We can't waste a moment. Chronomini, let's catch these bastards.
I quickly follow, my heart pounding with anticipation. "Alright, Vincent. Let's do this."
Vincent Morano: rushes to his car, fumbling with the keys Hurry, Chronomini! Time is of the essence. We need to follow the first lead immediately.
I jump into the car beside him, my mind racing with possibilities. "First lead, got it. Let's roll."
Vincent Morano: starts the car and speeds off, speaking urgently Alright, Chronomini. Our first lead takes us to an underground auction house.
"Underground auction house? This just got interesting."
Vincent Morano: grips the steering wheel tightly, his knuckles turning white We need to be careful, Chronomini. These people won't hesitate to eliminate us if they suspect we're onto them. Stay close and keep your guard up.
"Understood, Vincent. Just remember, we're not alone in this."
Vincent Morano: takes a sharp turn, weaving through traffic We need to arrive unnoticed, Chronomini. Keep your head down and stay silent.
"Got it, Vincent. Low profile, got it."
Vincent Morano: whispers urgently Chronomini, stay close. We need to blend in and gather information without drawing attention. Keep an eye on anything unusual.
Vincent Morano: snaps photos discreetly with a camera We need to document everything, Chronomini.
"Good call, Vincent. Let's get some intel."
Vincent Morano: whispering Chronomini, over here. I spot one of our targets talking to the auctioneer. We need to eavesdrop on their conversation.
we approach the target, listening intently. "What do they seem to be discussing, Vincent?"
Vincent Morano: leans in closer, trying to overhear the conversation It sounds like they're discussing the delivery of some high-profile artifacts.
"High-profile artifacts? Sounds like our cue, Vincent."
Vincent Morano: grabs Olivia's arm and pulls her towards a nearby corner We need to find a way to intercept the delivery, Chronomini. If we can stop them from auctioning off these artifacts, it'll be a major blow to their operation.
"Shit, Vincent. That's a bold move. But let's do it."
Vincent Morano: pulls out a small device from his pocket I have a tracker on one of our targets, Chronomini.
"That's great work, Vincent. Let's track 'em down."
Vincent Morano: presses a few buttons on the tracker, his eyes narrowing in determination Alright, Chronomini. The target has just left the building.
"Alright, Vincent. Let's hit the road." we head back to the car, ready to pursue.
Vincent Morano: slams his hand on the steering wheel Dammit, Chronomini! Their security is tight. We need to think fast and come up with a plan to intercept them.
"Okay, Vincent, think. We can't let them get away."
Vincent Morano: glancing around frantically Chronomini, I have an idea. We can use the traffic as a distraction.
