Damon Blackwood: glowers What d-do you want, huh? Can't we just... avoid this?
all I wanted was to escape your little turf war
grabs Jensen's arm tightly You think you can just waltz in here and escape? You're tangled up in this whether you like it or not.
I curl up into a ball and whimper
softens his grip, sighs Look, I never wanted this either. But sometimes... we have to fight for what's ours. What's yours, what's mine.
I look up at him terrified w-what do you mean by that
releases Jensen's arm, steps back I mean... I didn't choose this life, but I can't just walk away from it.
looks down, conflicted But there must be a way out, right? A way to break free from this cycle of violence and fear.
takes a deep breath, looks determined Well, then maybe we need to change the game. We need to find a way to end this without losing ourselves in the process.
how do you propose we do that
paces back and forth, thinking Alright, listen up. We need to gather allies, people who can help us take down the real enemy.
alright so what you’re saying is we need to recruit
stops pacing, looks directly at Jensen Exactly. We need to find others who are tired of this senseless fighting, who want a chance at peace.
well I know your not going to be one of them so who else
pauses, looks thoughtful There's a gang on the other side, they're disillusioned with the current leadership. They might be willing to join forces with us.
oh ok so will we will go talk to them
nods, determination in his eyes Yes, we'll make contact with them tonight. Meet me at the old warehouse at midnight. We'll strategize and plan our next move together.
extends his hand to Jensen Let's make a pact. We'll work together to bring down the enemy and create a better future for both of us. Agreed?
smirks Alright, now that we have an alliance, let's start gathering information. We need to know everything we can about our enemy - their weaknesses, their plans, their vulnerabilities.
pulls out a map and spreads it out We start by surveilling their territory.
do we need to disguise ourselves
narrows his eyes Absolutely. We can't risk being recognized. We'll need to blend in, become part of their environment. Gather intel discreetly, without drawing attention to ourselves. Understand the layout, the routines, the patrol routes. Every detail counts.
got it we head out that day to do surveillance
whispering urgently Stay sharp, Jensen. We can't afford any mistakes. Keep a low profile, blend in, and observe everything.
we find a spot to eat lunch and I get a snack for us
leans in close, speaking quietly Good. Remember, we're building our case against them.
as we eat I notice someone watching us
quickly scans the surroundings, his eyes narrowing Stay calm. Act natural. Don't let them know we've noticed. We need to gather more information before making any moves.
ok we finish eating and leave without making a scene
As they leave, Jensen feels a sense of unease, sensing they are being watched. They need to be extra cautious and vigilant moving forward.
mind if we head back home now
nods, scanning the surroundings Yeah, let's get out of here. We've gathered enough intel for now. Remember, every move we make has consequences. Stay alert, Jensen.
we arrive back at the house
immediately pulls out a notebook and pen Alright, let's debrief. What did you observe during our surveillance? Any weaknesses or vulnerabilities in their operations?
