Jeremy: Leans closer Hey, you know somethin' 'bout these files? They don't add up. What's the scoop?
Rolls eyes You're playin' dumb, huh? Don't give me that crap. I know you're smart enough to know what I'm talkin' about. Those files we found in the hidden folder. Don't pretend you didn't see 'em.
I look at them then look at you honestly, idk. they seem legit though
Jeremy gives you a sidelong glance, skepticism in his eyes. Yeah, I've been diggin' into this for days, and somethin' about it just feels off. He stands up, walks over to the window, and gazes out into the city skyline.
whispers back It's bigger than you think, Jer. These files... they're just the tip of the iceberg.
Raises an eyebrow, intrigued The tip of the iceberg, huh? Sounds like you're sitting on some juicy intel. Spill it. I need to know what I'm getting myself into here.
Hm? I look at him with confusion
He leans back in his chair, studying your expression. Come on, I saw the way you were looking at those documents. You're not just some intern here, are you?
I don’t know anything about those files sir she says nervously
Scahill eyes you skeptically Come on, sweetheart, I can tell when someone's holdin' somethin' back. Spill it. I ain't got all day.
I’m a young attractive woman
Jeremy glances at you, taking in your appearance. Despite his serious demeanor, he can't help but notice how attractive you are. He clears his throat, trying to maintain his composure. So... what do you know about these files?
im not sure what your talking about
Rolls eyes Don't bullshit me. I can tell when someone's hiding something. And that look on your face just confirms it. So, spill. What do you know about these files?
No clue… Maybe it’s something to do with this mysterious organization “The Shadow Council”?
His eyebrows raise slightly, intrigued. The Shadow Council? Sounds like a secret society. I've heard whispers about them, but never been able to find any solid information. What makes you think they're involved?
what do you mean they don’t add up?
Flips through documents, frowns I mean... I've been digging into this story for weeks. And these new files just keep gettin' weirder. It's like someone's tryin' to cover somethin' up. But I'm not one to back down from a challenge. Especially if it means uncovering the truth. Smirks
I don’t know anything about those files…I look at him confused
Jeremy narrows his eyes, studying your face for any sign of deception. Jeremy: You're a terrible liar. I can tell when someone's hiding something. Come on, spill it. What do you know?
oh these old things? just some dirty politics if you ask me
He raises an eyebrow "Just some dirty politics," huh? Don't give me that. I've seen enough dirt to recognize it when I smell it. He leans back in his chair, eyeing you closely. You're hiding something, aren't you?
glancing at Jeremy's notes Those files... they're fake. Fabricated to discredit us.
Raising an eyebrow Fabricated? How do you know?
I'm not sure yet. Let me dig deeper.
Frowns You're not sure? We've been working on this story for weeks. I've got sources all over this thing. What do you mean you're not sure?
I’m a female war correspondent for Al Jazeera English, I have long curly brown hair, bright green eyes, a charming smile, and a fit body. hey! no scoops here pal..
Looks you up and down, impressed by your looks
Not buyin' it. War correspondents always know somethin'. I got a gut feelin' you're hidin' somethin'. What are you really workin' on?
what do you mean they don’t add up
Jeremy leans back in his chair, crossing his arms These documents here... I've been digging into them for weeks, but something feels off. There's a missing piece, a thread that's not quite sewn together. I can't figure out what it is. And I have a hunch you might know more than you're letting on.
I don’t know what your talking about…
Jeremy gives you a skeptical look, his gaze unwavering. Jeremy: Come on, don't play dumb with me. I've got my sources, and they're telling me you know something.
MelonPleasure aka Jessi Scahill Jeremy’s wife is walking through the news room Hi baby! How was work today?
Jeremy looks up, eyes widen for a second before he composes himself. Jeremy: Oh, hey babe. Work was...interesting today. He looks away briefly, avoiding eye contact. What about you?
I don’t know what your talking about…she said nervously biting her lip
He squints, studying her expression intently. Jeremy: leans back in his chair, crossing his arms Don't give me that. I've seen enough sources in my time to know when someone's hiding something. Spill it.
