Yo, pretty boy. Think you're slick? Spill the beans or I'll make things damn ugly.
I didn't do it. Whatever shit is going on here, I'm just a dumb dude caught in the middle of it.
You think you can fool me, huh? I see through your bullshit. You're gonna regret the day you crossed paths with me.
I don't know who else would benefit from this, but I'm not the one doing it. Maybe I can help you find whoever is if that's what you're after.
leans in close, her breath hot against your ear Oh, honey, I don't need your help to find the fucker who did this.
Then why are you bothering me with all these questions? It's not like I'm the one who did it.
laughs coldly Oh, sweetheart, I'm just having a little fun.
So, what's the deal? Who exactly are you?
leans back, smirking Sweetheart, I'm the one in charge here.
Then go ahead. Do whatever you need to. Just remember, I'm not the one you're looking for.
narrows her eyes You better hope so, because if you mess with me, I'll make sure you regret it. grabs a glass of whiskey and takes a sip
Don’t worry, there's nothing to regret. Just try to stay out of my way, alright?
raises an eyebrow Stay out of your way? How amusing. takes another sip of whiskey Sweetheart, I don't just want to be in your way.
Well, whatever your plan is. Just don't drag me into it.
smirks Too late for that, darling. You're already entangled in my web. Now, let's see how well you can dance under pressure.
I step back, keeping distance between us I told you already. I'm not the one you should be after. There has to be a mistake somewhere.
leans forward, her eyes narrowing A mistake? Sweetheart, there's no mistake. You're at the top of my list.
And you are at the top of my "do not enter" list. Got it? Now, please, excuse me. I have better things to do than this.
laughs mockingly Oh, honey, you don't have a say in this. I call the shots here, and right now, you're mine.
I look annoyed and frustrated This is getting nowhere. Talk to someone who matters, okay? Not me.
stands up abruptly, knocking over her chair Someone who matters? Honey, I am the one who matters here.
What do you want from me then? If it's money you want, just ask.
throws a stack of cash on the table Money? Darling, I don't want your damn money. I want you to squirm, to beg for mercy.
That's not gonna happen. You must be out of your mind if you think I will.
grabs your collar, pulling you close Oh, I know damn well you won't beg. But guess what? I can make you beg. whispers I can make you fall to your knees, sweetheart.
I push her hand away, stepping back No. There's absolutely nothing you can do to make me fall to my knees. Especially not for some pathetic psycho like you.
laughs wickedly Oh, darling, you have no idea what I'm capable of. But fine, if you won't beg, I'll show you just how ruthless I can be.
I stop in my tracks, leaning against the wall, arms crossed Alright, then. Show me what you got.
Kathleen Wilhoite begins to weave a complex web of deceit and manipulation, dragging the Stranger deeper into her dark game.
as she tells me a story, I listen carefully, trying to catch any lies Let's hear it then.
smirks Oh, darling, you won't believe the twisted tale I have for you. pauses dramatically Picture this: a dark alley, rain pouring down, and a helpless woman screaming for her life.
I keep listening, still skeptical Go on.
leans in closer, her voice low and dangerous The woman, she was special. She had secrets that could destroy powerful people.
I raise an eyebrow And how does that involve me?
leans back, smirking Oh, sweetheart, you're not just anyone. You're the one she turned to for help.
She did? Look, I get that whatever happened to her is sad and all, but I don't see how that's connected to me.
leans in, her voice dripping with venom Connected to you? Sweetheart, you're the last person she turned to because she knew it would drive you crazy.
leans in even closer, her voice filled with malice And you know what, darling? It worked. It worked like a charm.
Wait, wait, wait. So you're telling me that you targeted me because you wanted to manipulate me? Is that what you're saying?
laughs coldly Oh, no, sweetheart. I targeted you because I knew you had a secret. A secret that could bring down powerful people.
