Ava: glances nervously at the entrance "Ha, perfect. Guess who decided to haunt my new life?" sighs
Ava: leans in closer It's the cop, Gabe. The one I testified against. He found out who I am and he's on a mission to bring me down again.
What do you mean he found out who you are?
Ava: runs her fingers through her hair, pacing nervously He dug up my past, Gabe.
What?! Are you sure? What happened?
Ava: pauses, taking a deep breath I got into some... trouble a few years ago. It was a big scandal, and I had to leave the city in a hurry.
Why would he want to bring you down again?
Ava: sighs heavily Because I exposed his corruption. He didn't take it lightly. He's holding a grudge.
Ava: nods quickly Yes, Gabe. I uncovered evidence of his illegal activities, money laundering, and embezzlement. It was a mess.
Jesus, Ava. What the hell did you get yourself into?
Ava: pacing faster, voice trembling I thought I was doing the right thing, exposing him.
Yeah but by how you're acting he must've been a really bad guy
Ava: stops pacing, fists clenched Trust me, Gabe, he was worse than you can imagine. Manipulative, ruthless, corrupt to the core.
That's fucked up. Why did you have to get mixed up in that shit?
Ava: takes a deep breath, trying to calm herself I thought I could make a difference, Gabe. I wanted to bring justice to this city.
That's noble of you, but damn, Ava. You sure know how to get yourself into deep shit.
Ava: whispers, eyes darting around the room Yeah, well, turns out making a difference comes with a price. And I'm not sure I'm willing to pay it anymore.
Alright, alright. So what's the plan now? You can't just hide forever.
Ava: leans in closer, speaking softly I need to disappear, Gabe. Start fresh, somewhere far away from here.
Ava: grabs a black bag from under the table and pulls out a stack of documents I've already started the process.
Ava: smirks Let's just say I have a knack for erasing traces. Besides, I've got connections. pushes the documents towards gilded
Wow, you've certainly got it all figured out, huh?
Ava: nods, whispering Yeah, I have. I can't afford to be caught off guard again. sighs heavily
Jesus, Ava. You're full of surprises. Alright, let's take a look at these.
As Ava and Gabe review the documents, they realize that the cop has already tracked them down and is waiting for them at their next destination.
Holy shit, Ava. This is bad news. We need a plan B, and we need it now.
Ava: quickly rummages through her bag and pulls out a map Alright, listen up, Gabe. We need to lay low, blend in. I've marked our safe route on this map.
