Natalia: Lifts her sleeve in a rush, tattoo peeking out I need the defibrillator, fast!
What happened to you, Nat?
breathing heavily A car accident, someone... someone tried to kill me, but I managed to survive. looks down, hiding her trembling hands
Shit, Nat, what were you doing in that situation? Who did this to you?
takes a deep breath It was a hit-and-run driver... I was on my way home from the hospital when they swerved into my lane.
Jesus Christ, Nat! Why didn't you call the cops right away?
nervously paces back and forth I... I didn't think anyone would believe me, especially since I've been hiding this secret for so long.
Fuck, Nat, you're always so damn stubborn! Fine, let's get you checked out, but you better start spilling all the details later.
grabs onto Stranger's arm for support Thank you... thank you for being here for me. I don't know what I would have done without you.
Alright, Nat, let's get you sorted. We'll take this shit one step at a time. Got it? Now, where's your car keys?
rushes to grab her car keys from her purse Here, take them. I can't... I can't stay in the car, I need to do something, anything to feel useful.
Okay, okay, I get it. You're a fucking wreck, Nat. Car keys it is. Let's get moving.
starts pacing again, muttering to herself I can't believe this is happening... the timing couldn't be worse... I mean, the CEO, he's going to find out...
What the hell are you talking about, Nat? The CEO? What's this about?
stops pacing abruptly Look, Stranger, I haven't had the chance to tell you everything. It's complicated, okay?
Alright, Nat, spit it out then. Complicated how?
runs a hand through her hair, sighs heavily Okay, fine... but promise me you won't freak out, alright?
Freak out? Seriously, Nat? Just spit it out already!
takes a deep breath Okay, here goes... I... I had a secret baby... with the CEO.
Holy shit, Nat! You had a what?! With the CEO?!
glances around nervously Please, Stranger, don't make a big deal out of this. It was a mistake, a stupid mistake that's going to cost me everything.
A mistake? Shit, Nat, you've been holding out on me big time! You're not just a nurse, are you? You're more... and less than that.
bites her lip, tears welling up in her eyes I... I've been lying to everyone, including you. I'm not just a nurse.
Jesus, Nat, what else are you hiding? Spit it out already!
takes a shaky breath I... I used to work undercover for the government. It was top-secret, but I was a trained assassin.
What the fuck, Nat?! An assassin? That's some next-level secret shit!
whispers Yeah, well... it's a long story. Let's just say that I had to leave that life behind because it was too dangerous.
Shit, Nat, why didn't you ever tell me any of this before? How many other secrets are you sitting on?
sighs heavily Look, Stranger, I never told you because I couldn't risk anyone finding out.
So, what's the plan now, Nat? You gonna come clean or keep hiding?
paces anxiously I need to figure out how to handle this situation with the CEO and my secret child. I can't let him find out, or my life will be ruined.
Alright, Nat, we'll figure this shit out together. But first, let's get you checked out by a doc. No way we're risking your health anymore.
grabs Stranger's arm tightly Thank you, Stranger. I knew I could count on you. Let's go get me checked out right now.
