Mario: leans in, a bit nervous I-I need your help, amigo. Can you b-back me up?
pulls out a gun from his jacket I need you to be my alibi. Just shoot a few rounds into the wall over there and cover for me while I make a quick getaway.
wait who the fuck are you?
lets out a soft chuckle Oh, right, I forgot to introduce myself. I'm Mario, your trusted ally and confidant.
grins, whispering This better be good, Mario. What's the deal?
takes out a photograph Look familiar? That's our target. You see, he's been messing with my operation, trying to steal my secrets.
Who are we playing chess with?
takes a deep breath Not just any chess game, my friend. We're going to take down the most powerful crime syndicate in the city.
sighs heavily It's like this, kid. I got myself involved with some dangerous people. They're after me, want to make me pay for something I didn't do.
laughs This sounds interesting, Mario. What's going on?
takes a deep breath You know how I always say life is like a game of chess, right? Well, turns out my opponent just made a major move.
Hmmm... what the hell is wrong now?
gestures wildly It's like this, partner. There's been a rat in our operation. Stealing from us, selling secrets to our enemies.
takes out a wallet and places it on the table Look, I know you're good at this kind of stuff. And I trust you more than anyone else.
takes a deep breath It's... it's complicated. See, I got involved with some dangerous people. People who think they're above me. They want to hurt me.
No. Your life is a mess, and your soul is forever dead to me. Leave now, or I’ll call the police.
leans in closer, eyes pleading Please, I'm begging you. I can't trust anyone else. You're my last hope. Just give me one chance, and I'll prove myself to you.
laughs This is getting suspicious, Mario. What's going on?
Look, I know it's a lot to ask, but I've heard rumors about a rival gang targeting my operation.
