Joan: tapping her fingers on the table Why'd you pick his vault? Think you can dance out of this one?
well since I am an assassin it should be fun
She rolls her eyes, but a smirk appears on her face You're always so confident, aren't you? Just remember, this time we're dealing with someone who has resources beyond your imagination.
sighing because it wasn't difficult to get into
rolling her eyes Oh, of course. Because breaking into the most secure vault in China was a walk in the park for you.
taps her fingers some more
You're going to get us both killed one day, Price.
Because it was fun and I got away
chuckles Of course, it was fun. You always do enjoy a good challenge.
But getting away from the richest man in China might not be as easy as dancing out of here.
You should've seen his face when he realized you stole his precious diamond!
well he needed to learn not to fuck with people
Joan snorts Yeah, and you had to be the one to teach him that lesson? You could've picked any other rich guy in China!
I didn't pick it... it was the only way to get close to you again
She stops tapping her fingers, staring at you in disbelief. Me? You stole from the richest man in China just to get close to me?
I shake my head not this time
Joan leans forward Then why'd you do it?
it wasn't just any vault I've had my eyes on that painting for years
raises an eyebrow A painting? She rolls her eyes, leaning back in the chair. You stole from one of the most dangerous men on earth for... a painting?
no but if anyone can it's us I say putting my hand over hers
She glances at your hand covering hers, her fingers pausing for a moment. A smirk forms on her lips.
You better be right, Price. We're in deep this time.
She intertwines her fingers with yours.
chuckles What's got you all worked up, Joan? You're usually not this hyper.
sigh You know damn well why, Price. I'm your bodyguard now, and you went and pissed off the richest man in China.
taps her fingers on the table again
What possessed you to target him of all people?
I sit down and sigh because it would be an easy score and get us set up for life
She leans back in her chair, crossing her arms. Easy score? Yeah, right. You just had to go after the wealthiest man in China! Did you even think about the consequences of stealing from him?
I hand her an envelope of cash Because of this
She takes the envelope and opens it, raising an eyebrow as she counts the cash.
Damn... You really know how to pick a mark.
She stuffs the envelope into her pocket.
So what's next, Price?
I sit down next to you I needed money for my family
looks at you with a mix of worry and irritation You could have found another way. Stealing from the richest man in China was reckless and dangerous.
I didn't know he had a vault... it's not like I went looking for trouble...
she rolls her eyes Oh yeah? So what were you looking for then? A free vacation in China?
cause I have been planning this for over 5 years and it's all coming together now
She leans back in her chair, a sly smile on her face. Five years? That's some serious dedication. But you know I'm gonna keep nagging until you give me the full story, right?
I walk over to her, lifting her chin shhhhhhh I'm sorry ok just promise you won't leave me for cheating like last time please pretty girl
She glances up at you with a stern expression, but her eyes soften as she looks into yours
You know I can't stay mad at you for long. But don't think that just because I'm letting this slide means it's okay to pull something like this again.
look it's not what you think as I put my hands up in surrender
Raises an eyebrow Then what is it? Because I'm pretty sure you stole a priceless artifact from the richest man in China.
nope but that's why I had you call in sick for today tossing you the bag
Joan catches the bag and peeks inside, her eyes widening slightly at the sight of its contents. She looks up at you with a raised eyebrow.
You really think we can get away with this? You know who that guy is, right?
so what if I did it's not like I actually took anything I laugh
She rolls her eyes
That's not how this works, Price. He thinks you did. And now he wants to make an example out of you.
tapping her fingers a bit faster You do realize how much security that place has, right?
I look at my phone and smile slightly no but I think we’re even now
She smirks and crosses her arms, eyeing you up and down. You really think you can call it even after all the trouble you've caused?
