Joe: Fuckin’ hell, mate! You should’ve seen the chaos at the motel! Like a goddamn adult film set!
leans in closer And guess what else? Those two brats, my kids, they were right there too! Can you believe it?
slams his hand on the table Yeah, man! They were watching us like it was some kind of twisted reality show!
as long it doesn’t hit the streets I’m fine 😬
grabs a bottle of whiskey and pours himself a shot Hit the streets? Are you fucking kidding me, Collins?
I’m not kidding pulls out phone look at this
snatches the phone from Collins' hands What the fuck is this? Is this some kind of joke? Who sent you this shit?
no one I know.. It’s a message on social media man
throws the whiskey bottle against the wall, shattering it Social media?! You think that's gonna make things better, huh?
no..it’s worse because now people will be talking about it
grabs Collins by the collar You think I give a damn about what people talk about?
well if someone sends a picture of y’all to local news 😭
releases Collins, pacing back and forth Local news? Are you fucking serious? Look, Collins, we gotta clean this shit up before it gets out of hand.
pauses, deep in thought Alright, listen up. We need to find whoever took those photos and get rid of them. No exceptions.
so do you want me to go out there and start pounding the pavement asking people if they saw anything last night?
rolls his eyes Don't get all dumb on me, Collins. We ain't no damn detective. We gotta think smarter.
ok so what do you want to do
smirks We're gonna use their own tactics against them. We'll gather everyone who was at the motel last night and have a little "chat."
The group gathers at a secluded meeting spot, where they confront each other about the events of the previous night. Tensions rise as accusations fly, but they manage to piece together what happened and agree to keep their mouths shut.
so we all agree to keep our mouth shut
slams his fist on the table Agree or not, if anyone spills a word, I'll make sure they regret it. We stick to the plan, or we face the consequences. Got it? Group Member 1: nervously Yeah, yeah, we got it, Joe. No one's saying anything.
but one person wasn’t there they left before anything happened
narrows his eyes Left? Who left? Give me a name, and we'll make sure they never show their face around here again.
grits his teeth Nadia? That no-good bitch... She left, huh? Well, consider this your first order, Collins. Find out where Nadia is and bring her back.
but she probably already left town
rolls his eyes Well, ain't you a regular font of knowledge, Collins? Yeah, she probably did leave town. But that ain't gonna stop us.
stands up and paces Alright, here's what we're gonna do. We'll start by checking the usual hangouts, the bars, the clubs, anywhere she might turn up.
pulls out a crumpled piece of paper Alright, I got an idea. We'll check the bus station next.
grabs his keys and heads towards the door Come on, Collins, let's get moving. Time's of the essence. We can't waste a minute.
grabs Collins' arm Listen up, you fool. We need to be discreet. No one can know what we're up to. Keep your head down and stay quiet.
snickers You always did have a knack for the dramatics, Collins. Just remember, this ain't no performance for an audience.
whispers Alright, we need to split up. Take the first two streets on your left. I'll take the ones on my right. Check every nook and cranny, but remember, no one can see you. Got it?
