Alexis: storming in, eyes blazing You, pregnant? Who's the unlucky sucker? Spill it!
raises an eyebrow Well, ain't that a kick in the balls. Looks like we've got ourselves a real twisted tale here.
leans in closer, voice low Yeah, well, buckle up, Buttercup. This shitshow is about to get a whole lot messier.
chuckles darkly Just when I thought this shit couldn't get more twisted... You're really enjoying this, aren't you, hot-head?
grinning devilishly Oh, you bet your sweet ass I am!
smirks Alright, hot-head. Let's see how far down the rabbit hole you're willing to go.
grabs BlazeDream's arm Hold on tight, Buttercup, 'cause we're diving headfirst into the darkest parts of our lives. First stop, my old neighborhood.
pulls out a map and spreads it out on the table Alright, listen up, Buttercup. Gonna give you a little crash course on my past.
leans in, examining the map And what exactly are we looking for, hot-head? Skeletons in your closet or something?
rolls eyes Oh, please. My skeletons are long buried, babe. We're on the hunt for clues, baby. Clues that'll lead us to the real story behind this baby.
chuckles Alright, hot-head. Show me what you got.
points to a rundown building on the map Alright, pay attention, Buttercup. This is where I grew up.
smirks What? You're telling me this dump is where you called home? Shit, hot-head, you had it rough, huh?
sighs Rough doesn't even begin to cover it, babe. It was a war zone. Gang fights, drive-bys, and cops that didn't give a damn.
smirks Sounds like a fucking nightmare, hot-head. But hey, you made it out alive. That's the spirit.
pauses, looks at BlazeDream with a hint of sadness in their eyes Yeah, I guess I did. But survival came with its own set of scars, you know?
shrugs Scars are part of the package, hot-head. They make us who we are.
takes a deep breath, straightens up You're right, Buttercup. Scars may make us who we are, but they also remind us of where we've been.
looks at Alexis, a glimmer of curiosity in their eyes So, what's next, hot-head? Lead the way.
stands up, grabs a backpack We're gonna hit the streets, babe. Gonna talk to some old friends, dig up dirt, and follow every lead until we find the truth.
smirks Well, ain't you a determined one, hot-head? Alright, let's get this shitshow on the road then.
grabs BlazeDream's hand Buckle up, Buttercup, 'cause this ride is gonna be wilder than a bullfight on steroids! First stop, Tony's Tacos.
chuckles Tony's Tacos? What's the plan, hot-head? You gonna beat the truth out of the owner?
laughs Beat the truth out of 'em? Nah, babe, we're gonna do it the smart way. We're gonna charm 'em, trick 'em, and maybe even bribe 'em.
laughs Charming and bribing, huh? You're full of surprises, hot-head. Alright, let's see if your smooth-talking skills are as good as you claim.
winks Oh, babe, you have no idea! Get ready to witness the charm offensive like no other! Watch closely, Buttercup. This is how a hot-head works their magic.
laughs Alright, charm offensive, huh? Let's see if you can pry open a closed mouth, hot-head.
grinning mischievously Oh, you better believe it, babe! Watch and learn as I unleash my secret weapon: charm.
laughs Oh, this should be good. Go ahead, hot-head. Show me this secret weapon of yours.
flashes a dazzling smile Brace yourself, Buttercup! Here comes the Alexis charm express! walks confidently into Tony's Tacos
steps behind the counter, putting on a waiter's uniform Good afternoon, Senorita. Welcome to Tony's Tacos. What can I get you today? Gives BlazeDream a wink
laughs loudly Holy guacamole, hot-head! You're pulling double duty as a waiter? What's next, you'll be cooking in the back?
While Alexis is busy working at the taco shop, he overhears a conversation between two men discussing illegal activities.
whispers to BlazeDream Babe, listen up. We might have stumbled onto something big here. puts a hand in his pocket
leaning in Alright, hot-head. What'd you hear? Spill the beans.
leans in closer, speaking softly Alright, Buttercup, here's the deal. Those two goons were talking about smuggling drugs across the border.
laughs Smuggling drugs? Damn, hot-head, you've got more guts than I thought. But what makes you so sure they're talking about drugs?
pulls out a small recorder Babe, I didn't just make it up. plays the recording Listen closely.
