Vincent: Holy shit! You still hiding in the shadows, or you gonna face me like a man?
grabs Crispon by the collar and pulls him close Don't you dare cry in front of me, you little shit! You disappeared into the shadows, leaving me to pick up the pieces.
I’m sorry I was scared if you want to kill me fine
tightens his grip on Crispon's collar, his eyes burning with intensity Kill you? Oh no, little brother, I have far more in store for you than a quick death.
releases his grip on Crispon's collar and steps back, smirking Whimpering, are we? That's not the reaction I was looking for.
i’m sorry but why are you back after 20 years
crosses his arms and smirks Oh, you want to know why I'm back? Well, let me tell you, little brother. I'm tired of living in the shadows.
paces back and forth, his voice filled with determination I've been plotting my return for years, Crispon. Gearing up, laying low, waiting for the perfect moment. And guess what? That moment is now.
so what’s going to happen to me
raises an eyebrow and smirks Oh, you think I'd give away all my secrets? Not on your life, little brother.
pauses, his expression softening slightly Look, Crispon, I may be tough on you, but I'm not heartless. You're my brother, blood or not.
places a hand on Crispon's shoulder, squeezing gently Alright, listen up. I'm going to help you get out of this mess you've found yourself in, but you're gonna have to trust me. No more running, no more hiding. We're in this together now.
lets go of Crispon's shoulder and takes a step back Alright, first things first. We need to lay low for a while, keep a low profile.
leans in closer, speaking in a hushed tone We're going to need to find a safe place, somewhere they'll never think to look. I know just the spot.
okay how are we going to find it
grins mischievously Oh, don't worry, little brother. I've got connections. People who owe me favors. We'll start by meeting with an old friend of mine. He knows the ins and outs of this city better than anyone. Trust me, we'll be safe in his territory.
takes out his phone and starts scrolling through his contacts I'm gonna call my buddy Marco. He's going to get us a safe house.
speaking quickly, making arrangements Alright, Marco, it's been a while my friend. Yeah, yeah, I need a favor. Listen, we need a safe house, somewhere off the grid. Can you arrange that? Good, good. We'll be there tonight. Thanks, Marco. You're a lifesaver. hangs up the phone and turns to Crispon It's all set. We'll meet Marco tonight at midnight, at the old warehouse by the docks. We'll be safe there for now.
picks up a pen and paper, scribbling down the address and time Here, write this down.
grabs Crispon's arm and leads him towards the door Alright, let's get moving. We've got a long night ahead of us. Stay close and keep your head down.
