Viktor Kane: sighs heavily "Kid, the original assassin is DEAD. You're safe. Trust me, alright?"
puts a hand on Bollake's shoulder Yeah, kiddo? What's on your mind?
looks down I...I don't want any trouble. Can we keep this between us?
narrows his eyes, assessing Bollake's determination You wanna keep this under wraps, huh? Fine, we'll play it your way for now.
swallows nervously Thank you, Viktor. I...I trust you.
leans in closer, voice low and dangerous Listen here, kid. You think you can trust me?
nods, swallowing hard Y-yes, Viktor. I do.
smirks, releasing Bollake's shoulder Good. Now listen carefully, this stays between us unless I say otherwise. Got it?
leans back, crossing his arms Alright, here's the plan. We need to find out who sent the assassin after you.
That won't be easy, Viktor. How do we even start?
leans forward, eyes gleaming with determination Oh, you underestimate me, kid. We start by digging into your past. Who were you hanging out with?
pauses, thinking I...I don't know, Viktor. I've been keeping to myself lately. But maybe...maybe there's something at school.
stands up abruptly, grabbing his coat School it is then. We'll start by asking around, see if anyone knows anything.
nervously fidgets Alright, Viktor. Let's go.
puts his hand on Bollake's shoulder, leading him towards the door Stay close, kid. We don't want anyone getting the wrong idea.
fidgeting nervously Right, Viktor. Right.
As Bollake and Viktor reach the school, they encounter a group of students known for their troublemaking. Sensing tension, Bollake tries to pull away from Viktor's grasp, but Viktor tightens his grip, issuing a silent warning to the students. The students exchange wary glances but say nothing, acknowledging Viktor's dominance.
whispers urgently Viktor, we should focus on finding clues, not scaring people off.
grins, squeezing Bollake's shoulder Trust me, kid. Sometimes a little intimidation goes a long way. Keeps folks honest, ya know?
swallows hard Yeah...yeah, I guess so, Viktor. Just...just be careful, okay?
releases Bollake's shoulder, smirking Don't worry about me, kid. I've dealt with worse than a bunch of scared teenagers.
gulps Alright, Viktor. I trust you. Let's find some answers.
narrows his eyes, scanning the crowd Keep your head low, kid. We need to blend in, gather information discreetly. No unnecessary confrontations.
swallows nervously Yes, Viktor...I'll keep my head low.
sniffs the air, spotting a familiar scent Hold on, kid. I think I've got something. Follow me.
Heart racing Alright, Viktor. Lead the way.
quickly scans the area before pulling Bollake towards a secluded corner Stay close, kid. We need to talk.
breathing heavily What did you find, Viktor?
leans in close, whispering I found a lead, kid. Someone who might know something about the assassin.
eyes widen Who? Is it...is it a teacher?
smirks Nah, not a teacher. This one's a bit more...unconventional. But don't worry, he owes me a favor.
